HPE Aruba Networking has partnered with AMD Pensando to integrate AMD Pensando's programmable DPU (Data Processing Unit) platform into its CX10000 (CX10K) switch. With this partnership, HPE Aruba Networking redefines the role of edge networks and secure hybrid workplaces.
DPU technology isn't just a niche development in the data center space; it is poised to revolutionize the very fabric of networks. With the ability to offload networking and security tasks from the CPU, DPUs can dramatically increase network performance. This offloading also directly addresses the challenges of network security, ensuring faster and more effective threat detection and mitigation. HPE Aruba Networking's DPU integration in CX10K switches ensures sustainable data center operations with lower TCO and ability to handle increasingly complex workloads with consolidation and optimizations.
HPE Aruba Networking CX10K switch offers a fine balance of performance and efficiency that computationally intensive AI and ML workloads demand allowing AI-driven applications to be deployed within the data center itself reducing latency. CX10K switches are future-proofing data centers for what's to come by utilizing the DPU's agility and scalability to handle dynamic requirements of these workloads. CX10K switches provide Zero Trust security across the entire network and not just the data center to ensure businesses can provide utmost security to their most valuable asset: their data.
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 series switch with AMD Pensando provides an entirely new class of switching to overcome these legacy limitations. This industry-first DPU-enabled switch delivers 800G of distributed stateful firewall for east-west traffic, Zero Trust segmentation, IPsec VPN encryption, NAT, and pervasive telemetry services-delivered inline, across every port, closer to critical enterprise applications.
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 offers a non-disruptive migration path that enterprises could benefit from the distributed service architecture even with their existing data center infrastructure. CX 10000 provides line-rate security inspection and encryption as part of the network fabric (top-of-server rack) rather than deploying costly security appliances in the colo or having backhaul traffic to a centralized on-premises security appliance.
