Aruba 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 Aruba Fabric Composer different from other solutions is its ability to orchestrate a discrete set of switches as a single networking fabric to simplify operations and troubleshooting. This infrastructure and application-aware solution also automates various configuration and lifecycle events. Aruba Fabric Composer provides a series of workflows that are both interactive and automated which abstract the administrative complexities of setting up complex data centers.

Features & Capabilities
Event-based Workflow Automation
Through an open source, event driven automation platform, Aruba Fabric Composer provides both the integration platform as well as a set of Aruba-developed integration packs. Integration packs automate workflows based on the included sensors, actions, and triggers for 3rd party orchestration systems.
Workload Visibility
It builds an understanding of the physical network and the workloads that utilize the network & delivers a more accurate and meaningful global view of how and where virtual demands are impacting the physical network.
Workload Optimization
Aruba Fabric Composer optimizes data paths to satisfy the needs of critical application workloads. Optimizing the network to workloads needs delivers deterministic and predictable network performance and ensures that the right network resources are applied to the right workloads.
Global Network Control
Aruba Fabric Composer offers the simplicity and intelligence of centralized network management with the rapid response and scalability of decentralized control. Once Aruba Fabric Composer has satisfied configuration of the workload requirements, it then works with the Aruba CX switching fabric to orchestrate the desired new network state.
Unified Policy and Distributed Services
Aruba Fabric Composer provides unified orchestration for segmentation, security, and firewall policy configuration. It is also the primary network and security engine for The Aruba CX 10000 Series Switch with Pensando. All network configurations and firewall policy definitions are managed by Aruba Fabric Composer.
