AIOps for Wired, Wireless, and SD-WAN Infrastructure
AI Insight provides actionable intelligence on the overall health of the network to simplify troubleshooting and improve performance.
Leveraging a common data lake hosted in the cloud, peer comparisons are available to crowdsource commonly encountered issues.
AI Search delivers advanced issue-detection capabilities, simplifying day 0 to day 2 operations with context-based troubleshooting and guided remediation steps to quickly resolve problems.
AI Assist brings support services forward by using machine learning to perform search queries, automatically collect diagnostics, and proactively open a TAC service request when needed.
Additional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) analytics enable businesses to conduct contact tracing and location tracing to support COVID-19 responses.
Enterprise Scale and Resiliency
HPE Aruba Networking Central delivers greater scale and resiliency for enterprise campus, branch, and remote networks, supporting tens of thousands of devices in a single instance.
Advanced AOS capabilities like AirMatch, Live Upgrades, and clustering provide enhanced performance and reliability.
SD-WAN with new cloud connect functionality improves WAN performance, simplifies branch configuration, and enables seamless connectivity to AWS and Azure gateways.
HPE Aruba Networking threat defense enables IPS/IDS, while integration with Zscaler and Palo Alto provides advanced web security capabilities.
Using HPE Aruba Networking’s micro branch, RAP, and SD-WAN light features, work-from-home, teleworker, and remote call center deployments are also supported.
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 to protect previous investments.
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.
