The HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000-48Y6C Distributed Services Back-to-Front Switch Bundle is designed for modern enterprise, cloud, and hyperscale data center environments that require high throughput, integrated services, and operational simplicity. Featuring 48 high-density 25G SFP28 ports and 6 100G QSFP28 uplinks, it supports scalable leaf and spine architectures with low latency and high bandwidth.
This model uses a back-to-front airflow configuration, optimized for rack layouts where intake is at the rear and exhaust is at the front, aligning with specific data center cooling designs. The switch includes six hot-swappable fans and dual redundant power supplies, ensuring continuous operation and high availability in mission-critical deployments.
Powered by Aruba AOS-CX, the CX 10000-48Y6C implements a distributed services architecture that embeds advanced networking and security features?such as stateful firewalling, microsegmentation, encryption, and telemetry?directly into the switch silicon. This eliminates the need for separate network appliances, reduces operational complexity, and lowers overall TCO while improving performance.
The platform supports modern networking protocols, including EVPN-VXLAN, BGP, OSPF, and full Layer 2/Layer 3 services, enabling flexible and resilient network fabrics. Real-time telemetry and programmable APIs simplify automation, monitoring, and troubleshooting at scale.
Designed for organizations that demand secure, scalable, and intelligent networks, the Aruba CX 10000-48Y6C Bundle delivers high performance, deep visibility, and built-in services for the most demanding data center and campus environments.
