AIOps for Wired, Wireless, and SD-WAN Infrastructure

AI Insight provides actionable intelligence on the overall health of the network to simplify troubleshooting and boost performance.
Leveraging a common data lake hosted in the cloud, peer comparisons are available to crowdsource commonly encountered issues.
AI Search offers advanced issue-detection capabilities, simplifying day‑0 to day‑2 operations with context-based troubleshooting and guided remediation steps for quick resolution.
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 when needed.
Additional Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) analytics enable businesses to perform contact tracing and location tracing to support COVID‑19 responses.

Enterprise Scale and Resiliency

HPE Aruba Networking Central delivers increased scale and resiliency for enterprise campus, branch, and remote networks, supporting tens of thousands of devices in a single instance.
Advanced AOS capabilities such as AirMatch, Live Upgrades, and clustering provide improved performance and reliability.
SD‑WAN with new cloud‑connect functionality enhances WAN performance, simplifies branch configurations, 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 Operating System (AOS‑S) switches, and migrate existing Mobility Controllers and campus APs to protect prior investments.
A mobile installer app can provision an access point, switch, or gateway—ideal for system 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, providing real‑time visibility into every endpoint—managed, unmanaged, or IoT. This reduces blind spots and ensures 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, simplifying compliance, eliminating duplication, and ensuring consistent enforcement from a single interface.
