AIOps for Wired, Wireless, and SD-WAN Infrastructure

AI Insight provides actionable intelligence of the overall health of the network to simplify troubleshooting and boost overall performance.
Leveraging a common data lake hosted in the cloud, peer comparisons are available to crowdsource commonly encountered issues.
AI Search provides more advanced issue detection capabilities, simplifying day 0 to day 2 operations with context-based troubleshooting and guided remediation steps to quickly fix issues.
AI Assist brings support services to the forefront by using machine learning to perform search queries, automatically collect diagnostics, and proactively initiate a TAC service request, as needed.
Additional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) analytics enable businesses to conduct contact tracing and location tracing to aid in COVID-19 responses.

Enterprise Scale and Resiliency

HPE Aruba Networking Central delivers higher scale and resiliency for enterprise campus, branch, and remote networks, with support for tens of thousands of devices in a single instance.
Advanced AOS capabilities like AirMatch, Live Upgrades, and clustering provide enhanced performance and reliability.

Simplified Deployment and Lifecycle Management

HPE Aruba Networking Central provides Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) through a common configuration and deployment framework.
Manage HPE Aruba Networking CX switches alongside HPE Aruba Networking Switch Operation System (AOS-S) switches and convert existing Mobility Controllers and campus APs for investment protection.
A mobile installer app can be used to provision an access point, switch, or gateway– ideal for systems integrators or third-party contractors.
REST APIs are available through the API Gateway, and include protected OAuth access and rate-limiting capabilities.
View, analyze, and enforce policies for traffic based on individual applications, application categories, web categories, and web reputation.

Built-in security

Client Insights: Delivers continuous, AI-powered device discovery and profiling with up to 99% accuracy, enabling real-time visibility into every endpoint—whether managed, unmanaged, or IoT. This reduces blind spots and ensures that only trusted devices access the network.
Central NAC: Enforces dynamic, policy-based access control based on user roles, device types, and risk posture. It automatically applies least-privilege access, minimizing lateral movement and exposure to threats.
Policy Manager: Centralizes policy orchestration across wired, wireless, and WAN environments. It simplifies compliance, eliminates duplication, and ensures consistent enforcement from a single interface.
