Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, has announced a new set of capabilities and solutions for Aruba ESP (Edge Services Platform).
Updates include new AIOps, IoT and security features for Aruba Central – the cloud-native, AI-powered network management and analytics platform that sits at the heart of Aruba ESP – as well as additions to the Aruba CX Switching portfolio that are purpose-built for the Intelligent Edge.
New cloud-native management capabilities in Aruba Central, which also serves as the foundation for HPE’s Compute Cloud Console announced today, include:
- Self-healing AIOps that deliver on the promise of closed-loop remediation, so problems are automatically surfaced and fixed before end users or business performance are impacted, without requiring any manual effort on the behalf of IT operators.
- A new IoT Operations service that extends network monitoring capabilities to sensors, connectors, and other IoT infrastructure, along with an integrated app store that enables customers to deploy best-of-breed applications from Aruba IoT partners in a few clicks.
- New cloud-based authentication and policy capabilities that provide automated, secure network connectivity for end users across a wide range of devices, including SIM-enabled clients – providing a seamless user experience while easing operations for IT admins who manage network access .
Aruba is also expanding its flagship CX Switching portfolio to include two new series of switches, specifically:
- The Aruba CX 4100i, a family of ruggedised switches designed to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh environments, well-suited for industrial IoT applications that require always-on PoE and high-performance wired connectivity.
- The Aruba CX 6000, a cost-effective, layer 2 solution purpose-built for remote offices and the SMB market.
