Aruba Data Center is a software-defined networking solution from HPE Aruba Networking designed to simplify, automate, and secure modern data center operations. It forms part of the broader HPE Aruba Networking portfolio, integrating with edge-to-cloud infrastructure to deliver scalable, high-performance connectivity for next-generation data centers. The technology comprises the AOS-CX network operating system, which powers a range of data center switches including the Aruba CX 10000 Series, Aruba CX 8400 Series, Aruba CX 8300 Series, and Aruba CX 6400 Series. These platforms support spine-leaf architectures with VXLAN and EVPN for network virtualization, while Aruba Fabric Composer provides centralized orchestration, automating provisioning, security policy enforcement, and lifecycle management across the fabric.
