The Cisco® Catalyst® 9500 Series Switches are the next generation of enterprise-class core and aggregation layer switches, supporting full programmability and serviceability. Based on an x86 CPU, the Catalyst 9500 Series is Cisco’s lead purpose-built fixed core and aggregation enterprise switching platform, built for security, IoT, and cloud. The switches come with a 4-core, 2.4-GHz CPU, 16-GB DDR4 memory, and 16-GB internal storage.

The Catalyst 9500 Series is the industry’s first purpose-built 40 Gigabit Ethernet line of switches targeted for the enterprise campus. These switches deliver unmatched table scale (MAC/route/ACL) and buffering for enterprise applications. The Catalyst 9500 Series includes nonblocking 40G Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP+) and 1G/10G Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP/SFP+) switches with granular port densities that fit diverse campus needs. The switches support advanced routing and infrastructure services (such as Multiprotocol Label Switching [MPLS] Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs, Multicast VPN [MVPN], and Network Address Translation [NAT]); software-defined access border capabilities (such as a host tracking database, cross-domain connectivity, and VPN Routing and Forwarding [VRF]-aware Locator/ID Separation Protocol [LISP]); and network system virtualization with Cisco StackWise® virtual technology that are critical for their placement in the campus core. The platform also supports all the foundational high-availability capabilities such as patching, Graceful Insertion and Removal (GIR), Cisco Nonstop Forwarding with Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO), redundant platinum-rated power supplies, and fans.

HPE Aruba Networking Fabric Composer is an intelligent, API-driven, software-defined orchestration solution that simplifies and accelerates network provisioning, security management and day-to-day operations across rack-scale compute and storage infrastructure. What makes Fabric Composer different from other solutions is that the software is the primary unified network and security management engine for the CX switching platforms. It handles all switch and network configurations, plus all firewall policy definitions for both switch and distributed firewalls. Fabric Composer simplifies fabric management across multi-site data center locations. This multi-fabric orchestration capability is enabled via automating VXLAN configurations at data center border switches and global fabric management synchronization across geography dispersed data center locations.

What is new supporting point:
Primary network and security engine for the HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Switch Series; provides unified orchestration for segmentation, security, and firewall policy configuration.
