According to Aruba's website1, Aruba CX Switches are switches that deliver cloud-native design, end-to-end programmability, and built-in analytics for modern data center environments. They support a range of use cases from edge access to data center top-of-rack deployments.
One distinguishing feature of Aruba CX Switches for a modern data center environment is that they are based upon a micro-services architecture that makes them resilient and fault-tolerant2. This means that each switch function runs as an independent process that can be updated or restarted without affecting other processes or causing network downtime.
