Aruba AirMatch is designed to optimize network performance by quickly adapting to system-wide RF conditions. It goes beyond Aruba's Adaptive Radio Management technology by utilizing AI machine learning principles to automate RF optimization across the entire network.

I'm excited by the boost this newsletter has been getting in recent months and wanted to keep the light on while I was out. Three weeks is the longest break I've taken for work in…ever, really. Went to a bunch of museums (do yourself a favor and check out Edward Hopper at the Whitney and Morris Hirshfield at the American Folk Art Museum -- can't recommend them enough) and spent a few days in Aruba, of all places. Still not sure why flights were so cheap, but if you're ever looking for a nice place to stay on the island for $150 a night, let me know. Go make friends with a miniature donkey.

HPE Aruba is an edge-to-cloud networking solutions provider that incorporates Artificial Intelligence technologies. Aruba focuses on providing solutions to large enterprises as well as the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) segment. The Integrator engages with Amol Mitra, Vice President, and General Manager, Global Small and Medium Business at Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, at GITEX 2022. How's your experience at GITEX and how well have you presented Aruba Instant On to the new customers? Aruba has been participating in the event for many years, and this one has been the best one so far.

Network modernization is a key component of digital transformation initiatives for organizations looking to achieve better business outcomes. With that in mind, Aruba has announced its new Aruba Edge Services Platform with AIOps capabilities designed to reduce the time IT professionals spend on manual tasks such as network troubleshooting, performance tuning and Zero Trust/SASE security enforcement. As part of Aruba's growing family of AIOps solutions, these new capabilities aim to supplement overtaxed IT teams as they grapple with increasing network complexity and the rapid growth of IoT. For the first time, AIOps can be utilized for not just network troubleshooting but also performance optimization and critical security controls, Aruba said. With the growth of hybrid work, new user engagement models and challenges resulting from the Great Resignation and widening skills gaps, IT teams must find ways to achieve greater efficiencies and do away with time-intensive manual processes, the company said.

In 2015, there were approximately 3.5 billion internet of things (IoT) devices in use. Today, the number stands around 35 billion, and is expected to eclipse 75 billion by 2025. IoT devices range from connected blood pressure monitors to industrial temperature sensors, and they're indispensable. The challenge was the driving force behind Ordr, a startup focused on network-level device security. Pandian Gnanaprakasam and Sheausong Yang -- who between them had tenures at Cisco, Aruba Networks, and AT&T Bell Labs -- co-founded Ordr in 2015 to address what they call the "visibility gap" in enterprise networks.

HPE has released a pair of systems designed to broaden the uptake and speed deployment of machine learning among enterprises. Swarm Learning is aimed at bringing the wisdom of crowds to machine learning modeling without sacrificing security, while the Machine Learning Development System is meant to offer a one-box training solution for companies that would otherwise have had to design and build their own machine learning infrastructure. The Machine Learning Development System is available in physical footprints of several different sizes, but the company says a "small configuration" uses an Apollo 6500 Gen10 compute server to provide the horsepower for machine learning training, HPE ProLiant DL325 servers and Aruba CX 6300 switches for management of system components, and NVIDIA's Quantum InfiniBand networking platform, along with HPE's specialist Machine Learning Development Environment and Performance Cluster management software suites. According to IDC research vice president Peter Rutten, it's essentially bringing HPC (high performance computing) capabilities to enterprise machine learning, something that would usually require enterprises to architect their own systems. "It is the kind of system that businesses are really looking for, now that AI is more mature," he said.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a buzzword in the IT industry for some time now, but a global pandemic prompting a massive shift in favor of working from home and demand simplifying complicated IT environments has a way of accelerating emerging trends into the mainstream. Changing business needs due in part to COVID-19 is driving adoption of AI and advancements in the technology are making it increasingly accessible to more businesses. In fact, by 2025, a whopping 50 percent of enterprises will have devised AI orchestration platforms to operationalize AI, up from fewer than 10 percent in 2020, according to the Global AI Adoption Index 2021, a report conducted by Morning Consult on behalf of IBM. To meet the growing demand, some of the biggest networking giants in the market have taken it upon themselves recently to up their AI games and inject the technology deeply into more of their offerings. When it comes to AI, here's how Aruba Networks, Cisco Systems, and Juniper Networks stack up and what the company's CEOs have to say about their approach to AI.

Aruba on Tuesday announced a new AI-powered, cloud-native platform for the network edge, designed to pre-emptively spot and resolve problems. The Aruba ESP (Edge Services Platform) uses AIOps, Zero Trust network security and a unified infrastructure approach to improve services for campus, data center, branch and remote worker locations. By leveraging data from the network, users or devices, the new service can help organizations increase throughput capacity on the network and reduce issue resolution time. Aruba ESP uses AI and analytics to identify specific root causes of problems with greater than 95 percent accuracy, according to Aruba, an HPE company. It can auto-remediate network issues, proactively monitor the user experience and tune the network to prevent problems before they occur. Taking a unified infrastructure approach, Aruba consolidates all network operations for switching, wi-Fi and SD-WAN environments under Aruba Central, a cloud-native console.

Nyansa added support for Cisco, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Meraki, Juniper, and Alcatel Lucent hardware to its Voyance AIOPs platform in an effort to eliminate what it's calling IT tool glut. The company claims that by using its software, customers can consolidate their network monitoring and telemetry into a single dashboard and eliminate monitoring tools like Cisco Prime, Aruba Airwave, or SolarWinds. "Customers don't want to have to learn, deploy, get trained on, and pay for a bunch of different performance monitoring systems," said David Callisch, VP of marketing at Nyansa. "They want something that's more modern, that provides more intelligence and analytics to allow them to become more proactive." Callisch added that the problem is compounded for enterprises that use networking equipment from multiple vendors, each of which would normally require its own performance monitoring tools.
