The Aruba CX 10000-48Y6C is a high-density distributed services switch designed to consolidate multiple network functions across fabric and edge deployments. Built on Aruba's modular architecture, it supports 48 ports of 25G connectivity with 6 ports of 100G uplink capacity, delivering 2.4 Tbps aggregate throughput. The switch integrates advanced policy enforcement, network security, and telemetry capabilities within a single chassis, enabling carriers and large enterprises to reduce operational complexity while maintaining wire-rate performance across all interfaces.
Optimized for cloud-native and hybrid infrastructure environments, the CX 10000-48Y6C functions as both a fabric spine and distributed aggregation point. Its distributed services architecture offloads compute-intensive tasks—including deep packet inspection, encryption, and traffic steering—to dedicated hardware, freeing upstream resources and improving end-to-end latency. The platform runs ArubaOS-CX, providing unified management alongside Aruba's broader network orchestration ecosystem.
The system is positioned for large-scale data-center deployments, telecommunications core and edge networks, and multi-tenant cloud infrastructures where service velocity and operational consistency are critical differentiators.
