Hewlett Packard Enterprise has introduced an expansion of HPE Aruba Networking Central, with new deployment options, including a virtual private cloud (VPC) environment for customers who demand the agility of cloud with specific data security, data control or regulatory requirements, and an on-premises option that can operate while being disconnected from the cloud.
HPE Aruba Networking Central On-Premises for Government provides a new deployment option, which includes FIPS 140-2 certified server hardware to meet related government security requirements. This comprehensive network management solution boosts enterprise efficiency for emerging use cases such as AI data capture, training, and inferencing, which require greater control via air-gapped on-premises and cloud-based VPC options. The public cloud and VPC deployment choices leverage the global presence of HPE GreenLake cloud.
Other HPE Aruba Networking Central features include an always-on, automated network AIOps capability that continuously monitors critical wired and wireless network operations to optimize network operations and detect performance issues. A fabric of AI assistants acts as network architects, monitoring and gathering data, providing diagnostics and recommendations to extend existing capacity and performance, close security gaps, and identify configuration errors before they impact network operations.
HPE Aruba Networking Central has also expanded full-stack network observability and data lake telemetry for both heterogenous network environments and critical IT applications with enhanced IT monitoring solutions. New additions include a one-year subscription powered by OpsRamp, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, for monitoring capabilities of third-party devices. HPE Aruba Networking Central will also provide deeper visibility into real time apps such as Microsoft Teams for significantly improved voice and video call support.
Specific new features and benefits in HPE Aruba Networking Central include four distinct deployment options, always-on, AI-powered Automated Network Assistant, increased global points of presence, device telemetry data lake of more than 5,2-million devices managed and over 2-billion network devices served, broadening availability of third-party observability, end-to-end telemetry to boost Microsoft Teams Quality of Experience, and extensive Integration APIs.
