According to Aruba's website1, Zero Trust Security provides "context-based" access policies because it can identify and profile users and devices on the network, and define roles and assign granular role-based policies to them2. This means that the solution can give different access rights to the same user based on additional factors, such as device type, time, and location3.Reference:https://www.arubanetworks.com/solutions/zero-trust-security/

According to Statista1, the total amount of data created, captured, copied, and consumed globally is forecast to increase rapidly, reaching 64.2 zettabytes in 2020 and more than 180 zettabytes in 20252.However, this does not tell us where the majority of data will be generated by 2022.According to IDC3, a leading market research firm, the majority of data will be generated at the edge by 2022. The edge refers to the devices and locations that are closest to the data sources and users, such as sensors, cameras, smartphones, laptops, etc. IDC predicts that by 2026, more than half of all data will be created and processed outside centralized cloud data centers3.

According to Aruba's Unified Infrastructure Solution Overview document3, two key opportunities that Aruba recommends that you pursue to sell Aruba Unified Infrastructure in the campus are:WI-FI 6 upgrades: WI-FI 6 is the latest wireless standard that delivers faster speeds, higher capacity, lower latency, and better power efficiency. It also supports more devices and applications on the same network. Aruba offers a range of WI-FI 6 access points and switches that can help customers upgrade their wireless infrastructure and improve user experience.Transitions to Aruba ESP: Aruba ESP is a platform that enables unified infrastructure management, AI-powered insights and automation, security and compliance assurance, and flexible deployment options. It can help customers simplify their network operations, optimize their performance and reliability, enhance their security posture, and reduce their costs.

According to Aruba's website1, Aruba Unified Infrastructure is a solution that provides a single architecture from edge-to-cloud, eliminating network constraints with seamless integration across wired, wireless, WAN, and VPN infrastructures2.It is a key part of Aruba ESP (Edge Services Platform), which is a cloud-native platform that offers improved efficiency, orchestration, and automation for network operations2.One business benefit of Aruba Unified Infrastructure is that it enables customers to apply the benefits of AIOps and Zero Trust Security across wired, wireless, WAN, and 5G networks3. AIOps is a solution that integrates artificial intelligence with recommended and automated actions to provide fast response and proactive prediction and prevention of network issues4. Zero Trust Security is a framework that verifies every device and user before granting access to network resources, minimizing the risk of breaches and data loss5.

According to Aruba's website1, Aruba AIOps is a solution that uses artificial intelligence and analytics to identify exact root causes of network issues, auto-remediate problems, proactively monitor user experience, tune the network to prevent issues before they occur, and optimize and secure the network using peer benchmarking and prescriptive recommendations2. It is built into Aruba Central, a cloud service that manages networking equipment that runs ArubaOS services3.One reason that Aruba AIOps is more powerful than many competing solutions is that Aruba has extensive data stores on which to draw, based on tens of thousands of customers over multiple years4. This enables Aruba AIOps to leverage a large amount of anonymized data from diverse network environments and use machine learning algorithms to provide accurate and actionable insights for network operations5.

It is built into Aruba Central, a cloud service that manages networking equipment that runs ArubaOS services3.One differentiator that makes Aruba the best choice for AIOps is that Aruba AIOps extracts insights from a very large data set collected from over 65,000 customers of all sizes and 1 million network devices and growing. This enables Aruba AIOps to leverage a large amount of anonymized data from diverse network environments and use machine learning algorithms to provide accurate and actionable insights for network operations.

According to HPE's website1, HPE and Aruba Edge-to-Cloud Solutions are solutions that enable customers to connect, protect, analyze, and act on data from edge to cloud. They include networking, security, compute, storage, and cloud services that are delivered as a service or onpremises.One characteristic of HPE and Aruba Edge-to-Cloud Solutions is that they provide RESTful APIs to make them open to easy integration with other applications2. This allows customers to leverage existing tools and workflows and customize their solutions according to their needs.Reference:https://www.arubanetworks.com/products/security/https://www.hpe.com/us/en/solutions/network.html

According to Aruba's website1, Aruba CX Switches are switches that deliver cloud-native design, endto- end programmability, and built-in analytics for modern data center environments. They support a range of use cases from edge access to data center top-of-rack deployments.One distinguishing feature of Aruba CX Switches for a modern data center environment is that they are based upon a micro-services architecture that makes them resilient and fault-tolerant2. This means that each switch function runs as an independent process that can be updated or restarted without affecting other processes or causing network downtime.Reference:https://www.arubanetworks.com/products/switches/

According to Aruba's website1, Aruba Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions are solutions that allow customers to consume Aruba's technology as a service with HPE GreenLake for Aruba. This means that customers can access Aruba's entire portfolio of networking, security, and edge services without having to own or manage any hardware or software.What distinguishes an Aruba SaaS solution from a simple subscription-based solution is that with the SaaS solution, Aruba handles maintaining and updating the software2. This means that customers do not have to worry about software patches, upgrades, or licenses. They also get access to the latest features and innovations from Aruba.Reference:https://www.arubanetworks.com/solutions/naas/

Aruba branch gateways provide role-based access control and content filtering for both wireless and wired traffic at the branch12. This is a unique feature of Aruba SD-Branch that enhances security at the edge of the network3.
