HPE Aruba Networking Fabric Composer is an intelligent, API-driven, software-defined orchestration solution that simplifies and accelerates network provisioning, security management and day-to-day operations across rack-scale compute and storage infrastructure. What makes Fabric Composer different from other solutions is that the software is the primary unified network and security management engine for the CX switching platforms. It handles all switch and network configurations, plus all firewall policy definitions for both switch and distributed firewalls. Fabric Composer simplifies fabric management across multi-site data center locations. This multi-fabric orchestration capability is enabled via automating VXLAN configurations at data center border switches and global fabric management synchronization across geography dispersed data center locations.

What is new supporting point:
Primary network and security engine for the HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Switch Series; provides unified orchestration for segmentation, security, and firewall policy configuration.

The Cisco® Catalyst® 9300 Series Switches are Cisco’s lead stackable enterprise switching platform built for security, IoT, mobility, and cloud. They are the next generation of the industry’s most widely deployed switching platform. The Catalyst 9300 Series switches form the foundational building block for Software-Defined Access
(SD-Access), Cisco’s lead enterprise architecture. At 480 Gbps, they are the industry’s highest-density stacking bandwidth solution with the most flexible uplink architecture. The Catalyst 9300 Series is the first optimized platform for high-density 802.11ac Wave2. It sets new maximums for network scale. These switches are also ready for the future, with an x86 CPU architecture and more memory, enabling them to host containers and run third-party applications and scripts natively within the switch.

The Catalyst 9300 Series is designed for Cisco StackWise® technology, providing flexible deployment with support for nonstop forwarding with Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO), for the most resilient architecture in a stackable (sub-50-ms) solution. The highly resilient and efficient power architecture features Cisco StackPower®, which delivers high-density Cisco Universal Power Over Ethernet (Cisco UPOE®) and Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) ports. The switches are based on the Cisco Unified Access™ Data Plane 2.0 (UADP) 2.0 architecture which not only protects your investment but also allows a larger scale and higher throughput. A modern operating system, Cisco IOS XE with programmability offers advanced security capabilities and Internet of Things (IoT) convergence.

The foundation of Software-Defined Access

Advanced persistent security threats. The exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Mobility everywhere. Cloud adoption. All of these require a network fabric that integrates advanced hardware and software innovations to automate, secure, and simplify customer networks. The goal of this network fabric is to enable customer revenue growth by accelerating the rollout of business services.

The Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA™) with SD-Access is the network fabric that powers business. It is an open and extensible, software-driven architecture that accelerates and simplifies your enterprise network operations. The programmable architecture frees your IT staff from time-consuming, repetitive network configuration tasks so they can focus instead on innovation that positively transforms your business. SD-Access enables policy-based automation from edge to cloud with foundational capabilities.

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6200 Switch Series is a next-gen family of stackable access switches ideal for enterprise branch offices, campuses, and SMB networks. With a cloud-centric design that combines a fully programmable OS with the HPE Aruba Networking CX Network Analytics Engine, this switch family extends industry-leading deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting to the access layer. Make your network ready for tomorrow’s unpredictable demands with a powerful Gen7 ASIC architecture to deliver fast, non-blocking performance. HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Stacking Framework (VSF) allows for stacking of up to 8 switches, providing scale and simplified management. This series includes fixed (CX 6200F) and modular (CX 6200M) switches with built-in high speed uplinks and up to 1440W of PoE to support IoT devices such as security cameras and wireless APs.

What is new supporting point:
Enterprise-class connectivity with support for ACLs, robust QoS, and common protocols such as static and Access OSPF routing.
Up to 384 ports of scalability with 8-member VSF stacking. 24 and 48-port fixed and modular switches can stack together with easy to deploy through the CX Mobile app.
Models include modular switches with 1/10 GbE uplinks, LRM, and MACSec 256, fixed switches with either 1/10 GbE SFP+ or 1 GbE SFP uplinks, and options that support 30W to 60W of PoE per port.
Intelligent monitoring and visibility via HPE Aruba Networking CX Network Analytics Engine. HPE Aruba Networking Switch Multi-Edit Software support for automation, configuration and verification.
Dynamic Segmentation enables secure access for users and IoT.
Flexible, modular switch models support hot-swappable, redundant power supplies and fans for enhanced resiliency.
