HPE has introduced Aruba, giving the network the sixth customax Wolf | 10.06.2020
June 8, HPE has introduced the updated solution Aruba ESP (Edge Services Platform), which, as emphasized by the creators, is not a product, namely platform, which incorporates many years of
experience of managing network infrastructure. Aruba, according to developers, becomes a full-fledged system of monitoring and correcting Wi-Fi, wired, and SD-WAN network environment.
Services based on Aruba ESP will move on the three schemes available within the affiliate program Aruba managed services program, launched in may. The program, as the new platform becomes
the next step in the evolutionary process NaaS – providing network as a service. Partners will be able to provide services under their own brand and under the brand Aruba.
Development of control system network infrastructure implies the blurring of the boundaries between the data center and any custom or corporate network devices and IoT devices. Management
equally effective for any path of the network and must ensure the identification of all connected gadgets, monitoring their condition and performance. In this direction work the developers
Aruba, providing detection of any device, whether TV, video or primitive IoT sensor. Is not important brand, software platform and other characteristics. Platform Aruba ESP
captures both the fact of connection, fully identifying the main characteristics of the device. Because of this, any gadget automatically gains access to the framework of the authority for such
kind of devices set security rules. The only way today to build a comprehensive security system.
Based on the AI platform Aruba ESP, according to the developers, not only provides a record of incidents, and forecasting and anticipation of problems, and continuous optimization
network. In particular, we are talking about connecting high-speed devices operating under the new standards, thus to realize to the maximum their potential.
Citing data from Gartner, HP experts say that today almost 50% of the actions related to network management are performed manually, which does not correspond to the needs
companies and the pace of development of the networks. Considering, in particular, with what speed is prirastanie the number of network devices, which every year becomes more in the billions of units. The pandemic has become
another very major catalyst in this process. For IoT devices, you can now safely begin to classify almost all manufactured devices, many of which previously no one would
thought to provide the mandatory network connection, for example, sanitizer.
Aruba ESP, being the creation of a global IT corporations working together as explained by top managers of HP, not just with companies but also with state structures, that is, in fact, with digital
the government of many countries, allows users to see the overall picture of their network, and of any size and geographical distribution, if necessary, even planetary. In this case
very quickly, one click of the mouse to dive to any deeper level, down to specific cities, streets, sensor or video camera.
The platform interface Aruba ESP have tried to make it as easy as possible for a wide range of users, for example, for notification of incident do not need to understand all the details,
simply send a letter about the event, which will be automatically loaded the necessary technical details.
HPE emphasize that Aruba ESP can be considered equally useful for customers and for partners. The first are more flexible, more intelligent and prompt resolution of different kinds of network
problems. The second is a broader set of services and a large profit.
And finally, we must mention that the programmers and architects of Aruba seriously believe that at this stage it is able to give the network a new, sixth sense. And here we should give
aware of the fact that if a network will be more sensitive than humans, it is still unknown who controls who here.
