A client needs a data center network for a highly-virtualized server environment. They have the following requirements: 25 Gb connectivity from the servers to the top-of-rack switches support for iSCSl storage lowest possible latency between their VM farms, which are contained In separate cabinets and connected to different top-of-rack switches within the data center support for Python script interpretation and open APIs

Which networking product line and architecture should you recommend?

1. ArubaOS-Swrtch configured in a spine/leaf architecture with 5406R switches at the spine and 2930M leaf switches
2. ArubaOS-CX configured in a spine/leaf architecture with 8325 switches at the spine and 8320 leaf switches utilizing VSX between cabinets
3. ArubaOS-CX configured in spine/leaf architecture with 8325 switches at the spine and leaf
4. HPE FlexFabicc configured in a traditional two-tier architecture with 5950 switches at the core and 5940 access switches configured using IRF stacks per cabinet
