Hewlett Packard Enterprise has expanded its HPE Aruba Networking Central platform to include new deployment models that address data sovereignty, security, and regulatory compliance. Enterprises and government agencies can now choose from four distinct deployment options: public SaaS, virtual private cloud (VPC), on-premises, or network-as-a-service (NaaS). The new VPC model enables cloud-native AI operations in customer-controlled environments, while the on-premises version can operate disconnected from the cloud to meet air-gapped and compliance requirements.
The on-premises version, including a FIPS 140-2 certified server, supports sensitive government workloads and AI use cases such as data capture, training, and inferencing. The expansion also introduces AI-powered features for always-on network optimization and diagnostics. AIOps agents continuously monitor wired and wireless infrastructure, proactively identifying configuration issues, performance degradations, or security gaps before they impact operations. These services operate across HPE’s global GreenLake cloud footprint, with localized points of presence across North America, EMEA, Asia Pacific, and China.
HPE Aruba Networking Central also extends its observability and third-party monitoring capabilities. A new OpsRamp-powered subscription allows native support for devices from vendors such as Cisco, Juniper, and Arista. Integration with Microsoft Teams delivers improved call quality through real-time telemetry insights. The platform’s growing device telemetry data lake, now covering over 5.2 million devices and two billion network endpoints, powers predictive AI analytics and integrates with external IT tools via open APIs.
Key points:
• HPE Aruba Networking Central now supports SaaS, VPC, on-prem, and NaaS deployments
• On-prem deployment includes FIPS 140-2 certified servers for government and secure use cases
• AIOps features deliver real-time diagnostics, performance optimization, and proactive security alerts
• OpsRamp integration enables monitoring of third-party vendor devices including Cisco, Juniper, and Arista
• Microsoft Teams integration improves QoS for voice and video via native telemetry analysis
• Global cloud PoPs enhance performance across regional and local deployments
• Data lake spans 5.2 million managed devices and over 2 billion network endpoints
“Organizations are increasingly prioritizing data sovereignty, requiring regional and local presence for mission-critical IT solutions. With these innovations, HPE now uniquely addresses the most pressing enterprise challenges for corporate, nonprofit, and government entities with unprecedented network management deployment flexibility,” said Phil Mottram, EVP and general manager, HPE Aruba Networking.
