Network & Communication

The past several decades in networking have been defined by static, closed networking solutions designed for the client-server era. Aruba is introducing the Aruba 8400 core and aggregation switch, a game-changing solution offering a flexible and innovative approach to dealing with the new application, security and scalability demands of the mobile- cloud and IoT era.

The 8400X is based on the new ArubaOS-CX, a modern software system for the core that automates and simplifies many critical and complex network tasks. Its unique Aruba Network Analytics Engine provides the ability to monitor and troubleshoot the network, system, application and security- related issues easily, through simple python agents and REST APIs. The Network Analytics Engine capability comes with a built-in time series database that enables customers and developers to develop software modules that allow historical troubleshooting, as well as analysis of historical trends, to predict and avoid future problems due to scale, security and performance bottlenecks.

The 8400X provides industry-leading line rate 10GbE/40GbE/100GbE port density, very low latency, and scalability for support of full Internet routes. The Aruba 8400X rounds out Aruba's Mobile First switching portfolio with an enterprise core and aggregation solution that ensures higher performance and higher uptime.

The Aruba 2930F Switch Series is designed for customer creating digital workplaces optimized for mobile users. These basic Layer 3 access switches are easy to deploy and manage with advanced security and network management tools like Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, Aruba AirWave and cloud-based Aruba Central. Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) provides stacking scale and simplicity for enterprise edge, SMB and branch offices. The 2930F delivers performance and value with support for SDN, Access OSPF, 10GbE uplinks, PoE+, robust QoS, static and RIP routing and requires no software licensing.

High-Performance Access Layer Switches

The Aruba 2930F Switch Series provides performance, security, and ease of use for enterprise edge, SMB, and branch office networks.

Optimized for the digital workplace with unified management tools such as Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, Aruba Airwave and Aruba Central. Provides optimal configuration automatically when connected to Aruba access points for PoE priority, VLAN configuration, and rogue AP containment.

Stacking with Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) and convenient built-in 1GbE or 10GbE uplinks and PoE+ models deliver right-size network access performance.

Robust basic Layer 3 feature set includes Access OSPF, static and RIP routing, ACLs, sFlow, IPv6 with no software licensing required.

Designed with a powerful ProVision ASIC and support for OpenFlow, the Aruba 2930F is ready to take advantage of SDN applications such as HPE Network Visualizer, Optimizer, and Protector Software products.

Performance and Power at the Edge

The Aruba 2930F Switch Series is designed with a powerful Aruba ProVision ASIC, to enable the mobile campus with SDN optimizations, low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption.

Increase performance with selectable queue configurations and associated memory buffering that meets your specific network application requirements.

Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) virtualizes up to four physical switches into one logical device for simpler, flatter, more agile networks.

Supports up to 370 W of internal PoE+ power for wireless access points, cameras and phones.

Security and Quality of Service You Can Rely on

The Aruba 2930F Switch Series includes security and quality of services features to build a network that meets ever-changing corporate policies and compliances while protecting your data from both inside and outside attacks.

Flexible authentication options include standards based security protocols such as 802.1X, MAC and Web Authentication, to enhance security and policy-driven application authentication.

Powerful, multilevel-access security controls include source-port filtering, RADIUS/TACACS+, SSL, Port Security, and MAC address lockout.
