Connect, protect, and automate your networks at scale

Built on a microservices architecture powered by HPE GreenLake, HPE Aruba Networking Central (New Central) delivers a unified management solution for network devices across campus, branch, remote, and data center locations. It simplifies operations and ensures secure, high‑performance networking and comprehensive analytics for devices, applications, and data catering to customers of all sizes.

As customers drive innovation through significant technology investments to boost growth and competitiveness, network connectivity use cases continue to multiply. To meet these evolving needs, HPE Aruba Networking Central has been enhanced with a modernized GUI, expanded AIOps toolsets, improved network device configuration and
more — designed to maximize productivity and streamline operations. These new enhancements are available via a

Problem solving for your needs

Modern networks are the foundation for delivering exceptional digital experiences, but managing them presents challenges due to demands for new use cases, reliability, speed, security, and seamless connectivity.

Intuitive, contextual observability

HPE Aruba Networking Central delivers a holistic, connectivity experience with enhanced network visibility and
monitoring across devices, clients, and applications. By leveraging actionable telemetry from our data lake, this
solution facilitates intelligent automation and continuous optimization, ensuring unparalleled efficiency and insights
in the industry.

Streamlined, improved configurability

Rapidly deploy network devices using new consolidated workflows to configure switches, gateways, and access
points across multiple locations through a single configuration interface. Gone are the days of bespoke templates
and configuration workflows that hamper scalability. For organizations that rely on DevOps automation, Central’s
APIs are device agnostic across multiple types, groups, and locations and have been revised for consistency of
configuration in the following ways:

• Hierarchical configuration: Enables detailed, flexible, enterprise‑grade setup at a global, site collection, site, device group, and device level. This reduces configuration time from minutes to seconds, allowing smaller teams to efficiently oversee global networks.
• Device‑agnostic workflows: Automatically translate configurations into device‑specific CLI commands across various devices, abstracting complexity and ensuring operational simplicity.
• 100% API support: Offers consistent, device‑agnostic APIs across multiple types and locations, providing
  enhanced programmability and seamless integration with HPE Aruba Networking and third‑party platforms.
