HPE Aruba Networking Network Analytics Engine (NAE)
HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Switch Series utilizes the HPE Aruba Networking Network Analytics Engine (NAE) for advanced telemetry and automation to provide industry-first monitoring and troubleshooting systems that greatly improves network operations.
Customers can use data from the Time Series Database (TSDB) to store configuration and operational state to write software modules to troubleshoot problems. This data may also be used to analyze trends, identify anomalies, and predict future capacity requirements.

High Availability and Resiliency
All software processes in the HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Switch Series run as microservices that communicate via the state database of the switch; there is no direct communication between microservices. Should a software process crash, the impact of that failure will be limited.
The ability of AOS-CX to maintain synchronous state across dual control planes allows a unique high availability solution called HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX).
HPE Aruba Networking VSX provides a robust, yet simple solution for high availability with a unique design for control plane synchronization and an architecture that is redundant in both hardware and software by deploying two chassis with an inter-switch link, maintaining its independent control.

Software-Defined Automation
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Switch Series is supported by HPE Aruba Networking Fabric Composer, a software-defined orchestration solution that simplifies and accelerates leaf-spine network provisioning and day-to-day operations across rack-scale compute and storage infrastructure.
Orchestrate a discrete set of switches as a single networking fabric to simplify operations and troubleshooting. This infrastructure and application-aware solution also automates various configuration and lifecycle events.
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Switch Series serves the needs of modern campus core and aggregation as well as dynamic top-of-rack (ToR) data center environments, offering a flexible and innovative approach to addressing the application, security, and scalability demands of the mobile, cloud, and IoT. The CX 8100 switches are based on HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOS-CX) that automates and simplifies critical network tasks, offers programmability with REST APIs and Python scripts, delivers enhanced fault tolerance and zero-service disruption during planned or unplanned control-plane events. Real-time, network-wide visibility and analytics are available in every switch. The series includes industry-leading line rate ports with 1/10 GbE (SFP/SFP+) and 40/100 GbE (QSFP+/QSFP28) connectivity in a compact 1U form factor. 4x10 Gbps and 4x25 Gbps break out from 40/100 G. These switches are great for customers needing 1 GbE/10 GbE with mix of fiber and copper ports.
