HPE announces AIOps-driven network management solution

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has introduced the next generation of its cloud-native network management solution – Aruba Networking Central. The platform will now leverage artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) to reduce manual tasks and improve productivity.

In addition, HPE Aruba Networking also announced a monthly subscription-based network-as-a-service (NaaS) offering for customers to acquire, deploy, and manage on its edge-to-cloud platform HPE GreenLake.

“The evolution of our AIOps in HPE Aruba Networking Central and Agile NaaS represents the next step toward more effectively managing operational complexity while connecting with ever-expanding workloads from edge to cloud for a seamless hybrid work experience,” said Phil Mottram, executive vice president and general manager, HPE Aruba Networking.

As per HPE’s statement, the AIOps-enabled Aruba Networking Central platform will be able to deliver a range of business outcomes like automated factory operations, customised customer experience, omnichannel retail operations, and reduced carbon footprint.

“In recent years, the Government of India has been prioritising digital transformation initiatives among businesses,” said Prakash Krishnamoorthy, Director - India at HPE Aruba Networking. “ With HPE Aruba Networking’s new game-changing product innovations, we're excited to empower businesses to stay ahead of the curve in today's fast-paced digital world, unlock the full potential of their network infrastructure, and optimise their IT resources,” he further added.

Notably, HPE recently acquired Athonet for private 5G connectivity and Axis Security to expand its SASE security solutions portfolio. The deal with Axis Security was closed in March and its edge-to-cloud security solutions are already integrated with Aruba Networking. On the other hand, the Athonet transaction will be closed in the fourth quarter of the 2023 fiscal year; HPE plans to integrate its solution HPE Aruba Networking portfolio and existing telco software.
