With the next generation of HPE Aruba Networking Central, a cloud-native network management solution, Datacentrix, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), and HPE Aruba Networking assist IT teams in streamlining network administration procedures and enhancing operational agility. In addition, Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) capabilities simplify the acquisition, deployment, and management using the HPE GreenLake platform.
As IT teams remain understaffed, many institutions lack the personnel to manage multiple networking products and capabilities. To alleviate time spent on network troubleshooting and optimisation, the HPE Aruba Networking Central cloud network management platform has been re-designed to simplify operations, reduce manual tasks and improve productivity by leveraging artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps).
HPE Aruba Networking’s Agile NaaS framework is designed to make on-demand networking easier for end-user customers to consume. New service pack capabilities added to HPE GreenLake give customers the flexibility to bundle the services they specifically need with a monthly NaaS subscription.
“A modernised network is the backbone for powering next-generation digital experiences and enabling new business models,” said Phil Mottram, executive vice president, and general manager, of HPE Aruba Networking. “The evolution of our AIOps and Agile NaaS represents the next step toward more effectively managing operational complexity while connecting with expanding workloads from edge to cloud for a seamless hybrid work experience.”
The new features of the next generation of HPE Aruba Networking Central include operator-centric design, a ‘point-in-time’ view of the network; multi-layer views to transform visualisation of complex networks; intelligent assurance indicators for device health and client experience; AI-powered full-stack insights for enhanced root cause analysis (RCA), impact assessment, and precise recommendations; and device-agnostic workflows with 100% API support to automate network configurations at scale.
“Institutions are needing a new generation of management tools and solutions to help manage the modern network,” says Francois Jacobs, Business Unit Manager at Datacentrix. “HPE GreenLake for Aruba networking service packs are available from Datacentrix to help institutions focus on modern networks that are agile, responsive to business needs, and simple to operate – while being powerful drivers of transformation. Datacentrix recognises that each institution has unique needs and, in partnership with HPE and HPE Aruba Networking is delivering more business-outcome focused networking through a mature portfolio in the areas of AI, security, automation, and Network as a Service.”
