Modern data center networking for Edge-to-cloud
Automate IT operations, accelerate service delivery, and deliver a cloud-like operational experience.
Modernizing Datacenter and Edge Networks for Cloud-Era Centers of Data
The shift to distributed centers of data means challenges
Traditional data centers were built with siloed infrastructure layers, purpose-built hardware, and fragmented management, resulting in complex deployment models and operations.
Operational complexity
Most organizations have disparate network architectures and management tools with multiple switching hardware platforms, operating systems, and licensing or subscription plans.
Slow service delivery/SLAs
This operational friction leads to longer lead times because IT spends countless hours on infrastructure requests and manual tasks, while stakeholders demand a faster cloud-like experience.
Difficulty troubleshooting
In the data center, lack of visibility across both the physical and virtual networks means that IT spends about 70% of their time trying to identify and diagnose issues.
Simplify IT ops, speed up provisioning, and save time
Introducing Aruba’s new architectural approach—one that is edge-centric, cloud-enabled, and data-driven.
Simplify and automate IT operationsSimplify and automate IT operations
Built on a microservices based architecture with identical operation for all switches, whether deployed in a data center or campus environment. Aruba is unique here because our common architecture delivers a consistent and cloud-like operational experience across every domain of the enterprise network.
Accelerate service deliveryAccelerate service delivery
Building on an already robust AOS-CX-based automation framework, Aruba is introducing a new network orchestration solution which solves the problems faced by data center and IT administrators who often struggle with manual and siloed activities for IT service provisioning across compute, virtualization, storage and network infrastructure environments.
