Aruba Launches ArubaESP, the Industry’s First Cloud-Native Platform for the Intelligent Edge
| Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, today launched the industry's first AI-driven cloud-native platform, Aruba ESP (Edge Service Platform), which is built on AIOps, zero-trust network security and unified architecture. It provides a platform for continuous analysis of cross-domain data, tracking SLAs, identifying anomalies and automatically optimizing, while monitoring unknown devices on the network to ensure device security. Aruba ESP is designed to provide a cloud experience for the edge of the network. It can be used as a cloud service or local service, or it can be provided by Aruba partners, or obtained through HPE GreenLake. In addition, Aruba also provides HPE Financial Services, and customers can flexibly purchase the service platform according to their own budget and operational requirements. The focus of the technology field for nearly 20 years has been on providing ubiquitous mobility, and then gradually shifted to cloud-based applications. Now it has entered the era of data driven by the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and automation, supported by computing and modern networks. Therefore, enterprises will generate a large amount of unstructured data at the edge of the network. To turn these real-time data analyses into meaningful actions, the key is to analyze and process these data at the starting point where people, devices and everything are connected to the network - that is, what we call the "edge". ArubaESP's three "hard cores" drive the future intelligent edge. Unstructured data at the edge requires network telemetry technology and artificial intelligence to process this data at a rate and volume far beyond human capabilities. This requires an AI-driven infrastructure with a "sixth sense" to identify potential problems in advance, accurately formulate solutions, and implement automated operations without human intervention. Aruba ESP provides a single cloud-native platform on-premises or in the cloud, providing comprehensive protection for enterprise networks and unified management of infrastructure based on the following core principles: ▪ AIOps is a key component of Aruba ESP. Artificial intelligence technology and rich analytical tools can accurately determine the root causes of network problems up to 95%, and can automatically fix these problems, proactively monitor user experience, and adjust and optimize the network before problems occur. In real-time deployment, AIOps can increase network throughput by 25%, reduce problem resolution time by nearly 90%, and greatly improve user experience. Unified infrastructure consolidates network operations for switches, Wi-Fi and SD-WAN across all campus, data center, branch and remote work environments under the Aruba Central cloud network integrated management platform (a cloud-native unified console that correlates events across network domains to reduce problem resolution time and human error). In addition, Aruba's unified infrastructure allows customers to choose between on-premises deployment and public cloud services, giving them flexibility. Zero-trust network security combines built-in role-based access technology, dynamic network segmentation, and identity-based intrusion detection to authenticate, authorize, and control every user and device connected to the network, and can detect, prevent, isolate, and block network vulnerabilities before they affect the business. At the launch event, Aruba President and Co-founder Keerti Melkote said: "The intelligent edge is a catalyst that creates possibilities for organizations and enterprises that regard technology investment as their most important asset and hope to use it to accelerate transformation and ensure business continuity. It can be said that Aruba ESP is the result of Aruba's many years of technological innovation. At the same time, pertinent feedback and suggestions from customers have helped us make it a more intelligent network solution." The innovative "black technology" behind Aruba ESP Aruba ESP is currently the industry's most scalable full-stack cloud-native platform, suitable for wired networks, wireless networks, and SD-WAN environments, integrating multiple network elements for centralized management and control. Aruba ESP is optimized based on Aruba's infrastructure, uses open standards, and can be integrated with third-party solutions and services. These major innovations also include: • A cloud-native management platform for any size of enterprise — Aruba Central, the cloud-based integrated network management platform, currently runs mission-critical networks for more than 65,000 customers. Now with the introduction of new ArubaOS services, Aruba ESP is the industry’s only cloud-based platform that can provide full-stack management and operations for networks of all sizes, including campuses, data centers, branches, and remote work locations. • Simplify daily operations through a unified infrastructure — Aruba Central accesses a common data pool through Aruba ESP, enhanced with simplified navigation, advanced search and contextual views, presenting multi-dimensional information through a single control point, eliminating the need for cluttered tools to collect and correlate information across domains and locations. • AI and automation reduce problem resolution time - Aruba has more than a decade of experience in AI-driven innovations such as Aruba ClientMatch, a unique technology solution. Based on modeling data generated by 1.5 billion data points per day from more than 1 million network devices, the new AI Insights can identify those hard-to-find network configuration problems and provide cause analysis, guidance and automatic fixes to reduce troubleshooting time. AI-driven IT efficiency improvements — Aruba Central’s AI-assisted capabilities enable IT teams to quickly resolve issues by extracting comprehensive user and device data from the contextual information presented in the Aruba ESP common data pool using only simple English language queries. For more complex issues, AI-assisted capabilities use event-driven automation to collect and publish all relevant data to support internal help desks and the Aruba Technical Assistance Center (TAC). Granular visibility across applications, devices and networks – Enhancements to Aruba Central enable User Experience Insight to deliver user-centric analytics to more quickly identify client, application and network performance issues. • Extending Next-Generation Switching to Distributed and Midsize Enterprises — To help enterprises accelerate edge transformation, Aruba has expanded its CX switch series with the release of the new Aruba CX 6200 switch series. This series brings built-in analytics and automation capabilities to any network edge. At the same time, the CX 6200 series switches support a single operating model from the enterprise campus and branch access layer to the data center. • Developer Hub drives continuous innovation —Aruba has launched Developer Hub, a comprehensive resource service for developers, including Aruba APIs and documentation, to simplify the development of next-generation innovative edge applications using the open Aruba ESP platform. “Our large-scale network spans multiple campuses and learning centers, which run performance-demanding applications to keep faculty, students and researchers connected and working efficiently,” said Ron Gardner, senior infrastructure engineer at James Cook University. “Enhancements to Aruba Central and ArubaOS simplify network operations while reducing equipment footprint and managing large campus networks and distributed locations from the cloud. Ultimately, we’ll be able to proactively identify and resolve issues before they disrupt the network’s operations.” “Given the scale of our infrastructure and the volume of data generated at the edge, we need a solution that can automatically identify, repair and fine-tune the network,” said Brandon Stratton, network administrator for information technology at the University of Houston. “Aruba’s professional AI-based solutions, such as NetInsight, provide a more practical approach to help us analyze and act on them.” It is reported that in order to meet the rapidly changing business and technology needs of organizations, Aruba has added procurement options, including obtaining services through Aruba’s HPE GreenLake, purchasing Aruba ESP with flexible procurement options through HPE Financial Services, and other initiatives. For example, customers only need to pay 1% of the total contract value each month within 8 months after the contract takes effect to obtain the corresponding technical solution, and the remaining more than 90% of the fees can be postponed to 2021. |
