HPE Aruba Networking Central AP Foundation 1‑year Subscription E‑STU

 

HPE Aruba Networking Central is a powerful, cloud-based networking solution that unifies management of wireless, wired, and WAN infrastructure across campus, branch, data center, and remote worker locations. Featuring built-in, AI-driven analytics and intelligent alerts, it provides actionable insights required to proactively monitor, troubleshoot, and improve network performance.

This solution provides enterprise-grade scale and resiliency, delivers advanced security and threat management capabilities, and offers flexible deployment options with cloud, on-premises, and as-a-service models, making it a perfect fit for large enterprises with limited IT personnel. A real-time summary of network-wide health is delivered through an intuitive dashboard that can be accessed from anywhere, including through a mobile app for on-the-go operations. Whether managing one location or several hundred, network management is now far simpler with this solution.

 

Features :

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.
• SD-WAN with new cloud connect functionality improves 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 provide 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 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.
