Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, has announced a brand new suite of integrated networking software and hardware solutions that enable enterprises to address the digital workplace requirements of today’s highly mobile workforce as well as the connectivity demands of Internet of Things devices. The new portfolio allows IT teams to anticipate and resolve connectivity problems and create secure policies to build highly productive digital workplaces.
Legacy networking models—with their static, wired desktop clients—are now out of place in today’s interconnected environment. The entry of the Bring Your Own Device phenomenon, IoT-enabled devices, and cloud-based services is posing a challenge to enterprises anchored on traditional connectivity and mobility requirements. With the new workplace, where out-of-office collaboration and non-routine schedules are the norms, organizations must adjust their approach to properly implementing employee-centric facilities to attract and retain skilled workers.
Aruba’s new set of networking solutions and software-powered approach advance its offerings beyond fixed, hardware-focused networking solutions to integrated wireless services with innovations in network management and security.
Some of the new Aruba offerings include Aruba Clarity for quick detection and resolution of network problems; Aruba ClearPass policy manager for easy management of BYOD employees; and new multi-gigabit 330 series Wave 2 APs with HPE Smart Rate technology for bandwidth and latency optimization.
