HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN provides a solid foundation for Zero Trust and SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) frameworks to tackle the networking and security challenges of hybrid working and cloud computing. The solution tightly integrates with HPE Aruba Networking SSE to form a single-vendor SASE platform.

Leveraging a built-in next-generation firewall with features such as IDS/IPS, advanced Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) protection and role-based segmentation, HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN enables organizations to seamlessly consolidate their branch equipment by replacing branch firewalls and routers. It allows them to reduce the cost and complexity of building a WAN while reducing MPLS dependency. This is achieved by leveraging broadband internet and cellular links to connect users to applications with advanced features such as path optimization, WAN optimization and multi-cloud networking.

HPE Aruba Networking SD-WAN Software and Gateways are designed for IT staff who need to improve visibility, performance, and security for their legacy routers and WAN connections. With cloud-based services and mobile video and voice, organizations can deploy SD-WAN Software and Gateways to optimize the entire branch experience with rich insight into users, devices, and applications.

The SD-WAN Software and Gateways utilizes a cloud management interface for high scalability and efficient feature updates, without network downtime caused by planned or unplanned maintenance. For network administrators and systems integrators alike, SD-WAN Software and Gateways includes a free mobile application that simplifies the onboarding of branch devices and an SD-WAN orchestrator for automated provisioning of virtual gateways, routes, and tunnels.
