Aruba rolls out AI-powered, cloud native platform for the network edge

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.
