Aruba’s Next-Gen Switching Portfolio ‘Biggest Enhancement’ Since Initial Release
… both a five-slot chassis and a 10-slot chassis with non-blocking fabric that scales from gigabit POE access to 100G core.
NetEdit 2.0 with NAE is the latest version of the NetEdit software. The NAE integration enables centralized visualization of network health leveraging NAE distributed analytics across every switch in the network to reduce troubleshooting cycles from days to minutes. New automation capabilities simplify configuration changes or initial system setup, which can be done via the CX-Mobile app.
Today, the majority of revenue generated through Aruba switching, or about one-half of Aruba’s overall revenue, is driven by channel partners, according to Brar.
This next-gen Aruba CX switching portfolio offers partners a number of benefits: a single, cloud-native platform to deliver a simple enterprise campus to branch to data center, or end-to-end, switching portfolio; and the ability to deliver a complete networking portfolio to customers with no software licensing or subscription costs, as well as a professional services opportunity.
Brar said that partners can offer the new switching portfolio via a capex model or opex model though HPE GreenLake for Aruba. The CX switching portfolio, including the CX 6300 and CX 6400 series switches and new version of AOS-CX and NetEdit 2.0, will begin shipping next month.
