HPE Aruba Networking's CX 10040 smart switch utilises an AMD Pensando DPU to enhance performance, supporting the increasing needs of AI-driven computing while retaining built-in firewalling, in-line encryption, and precision telemetry. This combination is expected to increase security, provide greater observability, and enable more efficient server operation within data centres. The latest CX 6300 series campus switches offer encryption protocols, precision timing, and application recognition and control, commonly referred to as ARC. This is intended to let enterprises meet various data security, bandwidth, and service level agreement (SLA) requirements on a single switch. The new models are constructed with a small footprint to maximise capacity and performance in demanding network environments. New WiFi 7 access points include the HPE Aruba Networking 720 and 740 Series for indoor connectivity, and the 760 Series for both indoor and outdoor or industrial use cases. These access points feature network slicing capability, specifically dynamic application prioritisation, which is said to support real-time computing requirements for AI and cloud-delivered applications. The 760 Series is built with flexible radio and antenna configuration options for diverse deployment scenarios. Application-aware networking is now available on the HPE Aruba Networking CX 5420 and 6200 series switches. This allows enterprises to implement specific network policies more granularly, helping ensure data related to AI, IoT, and high-performance computing meets pre-defined SLAs across the entire network. The company is also rolling out enhancements to its management platform, HPE Aruba Networking Central, which provides AI-powered network management with secure visibility, control, and analytics across campus and data centre environments. For virtualisation management, HPE Morpheus VM Essentials integration with HPE Aruba CX 10000 Switch Series aims to help organisations unify orchestration of virtual and physical network and security services. This includes distributed firewalling and microsegmentation across multiple server types, with the objective of easing migration to an open virtualisation model. Recent updates from HPE include increased integration between HPE Aruba Networking Central and HPE OpsRamp for third-party device monitoring, as well as the introduction of the HPE Networking Instant On Secure Gateway targeting small and medium businesses. The company has also launched the HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 QuickStart Service to support accelerated deployment of its distributed services switches.

Cisco Redefines Data Center Architecture with New Smart Switches, Embedding Services Directly into the Network
Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) announced a family of data center Smart Switches, disrupting traditional data center network design by enabling networking and security services in a compact all-in-one solution. Utilizing programmable AMD Pensando™ data processing units (DPUs), the switch functions as a high-capacity, multifunctional service-hosting device, architecturally transforming data centers to simplify their design and make them more efficient. Cisco's first integrated offering, the Smart Switch with Cisco Hypershield, introduces a new approach to securing AI data centers by fusing security directly into the network fabric. As AI workloads multiply, building and managing data centers has become much more complex. Data center operators require a simpler way to design, build, and deploy infrastructure to fully benefit from AI. AI applications must sit where they are needed, whether a massive large language model sitting in centralized hyperscale facilities or a network drone monitoring crop irrigation at the very edge of the network. This shift in where data is created, accessed, and stored requires a new type of simplified data center infrastructure–one that integrates compute, storage, networking, and security in new ways, and allows for automated and predictive operations via simplified management platforms. 'Data center infrastructure needs be reimagined for both AI training and inferencing workloads that dwarf even the largest enterprise jobs of the past,' said Jeetu Patel, EVP and Chief Product Officer, Cisco. 'Simply upgrading data center infrastructure with higher 'speeds and feeds' switches does not address the requirements of modern data centers, which require acceleration of security and network services natively within the data center fabric.' 'Cisco's innovative approach to data center design, leveraging leadership AMD Pensando DPUs, marks a significant milestone in transforming enterprise infrastructure to address the evolving security demands of data center networks while dealing with the fast paced AI deployments,' said Soni Jiandani, senior vice president and general manager, Networking Technology and Solutions Group, AMD. 'Our collaboration with Cisco enables enterprises to achieve high-capacity throughput and impressive network security without compromising on workload performance on Cisco UCS servers or Hypershield enabled platforms. Together, we are paving the way for a new era of intelligent, adaptive, and secure data centers.' Cisco Smart Switches: a Game Changer As AI drives rapid growth, organizations must manage significantly increased power, compute and networking demands. In traditional data center architectures, when each new service required a specific device, growth led to complexity. It also required adding, changing, or upgrading the enforcement of security policies with each new service or workload. Cisco Smart Switches offer a simpler, more efficient and extensible architecture by integrating services directly with the data center fabric, rather than bolting them on top. By combining Cisco data center networking, Silicon One, and AMD DPUs, customers can scale services and adapt quickly to evolving business needs, all without the need for any additional hardware. The switches feature two processing engines: a high-performance network processor for stable data transfer and a network services sidecar for agile security processing. Traffic is intelligently steered between the two engines for optimal performance. This architectural shift drives cost savings through hardware consolidation, reduced power consumption, and operational simplicity. Cisco Smart Switches embrace all the capabilities of a NX-OS switch and management through Nexus Dashboard, and will unlock a diverse set of use cases like stateful segmentation, IPSec encryption, enhanced telemetry, DDoS protection and more. Reimagining Data Center Security with Smart Switch and Hypershield The first integrated service will combine Cisco Smart Switches and Hypershield to form a new approach to data center security. It will combine an advanced, AI-native, hardware-accelerated, distributed security architecture directly within the data center fabric to: Provide security that's melted into the data center network. Hypershield embedded in the switching layer reduces the number of appliances and allows data center operators to create a 'micro perimeter' around each service that makes up a workload. Enable autonomous segmentation policies. Customers can benefit from automatically updating security policies to the right enforcement points, ensuring consistent security with minimal manual effort. Keep security posture up to date reducing disruption. Organizations can minimize risks and drive policy lifecycle management at scale by using self-qualifying policy updates before deployment. Easily extend consistent policy enforcement across multiple domains. With the ability to manage policies consistently across a library of enforcement points in the cloud, on-prem, and on traditional next-gen firewalls, customers now have a single management system with Cisco Hybrid Mesh Firewall. Manage network and security workflows with persona-driven operations. The solution seamlessly integrated into existing processes, and supports common and separate workflows for NetOps, SecOps, or NetSecOps teams using a single solution to maintain connectivity and security. Fusing security directly into the data center network changes the fundamentals of data center security. Combined with Cisco Firewall Threat Defense, new AI Defense capabilities, and Security Cloud Control, Cisco will offer the first Hybrid Mesh Firewall optimized to protect AI applications in the data center and public cloud. General Availability The first available Cisco N9300 Smart Switch, which features 24 100G ports, is targeted for shipment in spring 2025. A top-of-rack model, which will feature 48 25G ports, two 100G ports, and six 400G ports, is targeted for first availability in summer 2025.
