Emerging Technology

What’s common between the Enterprise Edge, Media Edge and Industrial IoT Edge?

They all run on the HPE industry-leading portfolio of Converged Edge Systems. The HPE Edgeline EL4000 Converged Edge System, coupled with Citrix technology, is a perfect enterprise or SMB solution for delivering simple, smart, dense and secure desktops or applications, from anywhere - to any device. Multiple system operators (MSO) and over-the-top (OTT) providers love the ability to cache, rapidly process and easily manage video, audio and other rich media in one converged system. Doing all of this at the edge means huge networking cost savings and a superior consumer viewing experience. Rugged HPE Edgeline systems integrated with precision data capture or control, enterprise-grade security, systems management, and blazingly fast storage are also the ideal choice for harsh industrial IoT environments. Break cloud vendor lock-in and enable true edge analytics through three points of convergence in one box.

Are you struggling to extract business value from the massive amounts of data produced in a plant, branch office, retail outlet, or Internet-of-Things (IoT) edge? Is business agility affected because it’s too slow, expensive or risky to send information from the edge to a data center or cloud for later analysis?

The HPE Edgeline EL1000 Converged Edge System is an industry first, integrating unprecedented levels of edge compute, precision data capture and control, data center-class security, device, and systems management, as well as large and blazingly fast storage capabilities – in one converged box. This rugged and compact system is designed to perform in harsher edge environments with higher shock, vibration and temperature levels. It is perfect for expanding your IoT infrastructure beyond traditional data center confines and can also help break cloud vendor lock-in to enable true edge computing.

This is achieved through three points of convergence in one box.

The Aruba 5400R zl2 Switch Series brings enterprise-class resiliency and innovative flexibility to mobile-first networks. This advanced Layer 3 modular switch provides scalable aggregation with HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit ports for high-speed 802.11ac devices, Dynamic Segmentation, Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stacking technology, hitless failover, line rate 40GbE, robust QoS and security and requires no software licensing. The 5400R is easy to deploy and manage with advanced security and network management tools like Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, Aruba AirWave and cloud-based Aruba Central.

The Aruba 2530 Switch Series provides security, reliability, and ease of use for enterprise edge, branch office, and SMB deployments. Fully managed switches deliver Layer 2 capabilities with optional PoE+, enhanced access security, traffic prioritization, sFlow, IPv6 host support, and power savings with Energy Efficient Ethernet. The Aruba 2530 Switch Series is easy to use and deploy, and delivers consistent wired/wireless user experience with unified security and management tools such as Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, Aruba AirWave and cloud-based Aruba Central.

Are your data centers struggling to consolidate large workloads without compromising performance? Delivering a truly agile and efficient IT infrastructure requires the transformation of traditionally rigid physical systems into flexible physical or virtual resource pools. HPE Synergy 660 Gen10 Composable Compute resources create a pool of flexible compute capacity that can be configured almost instantly to rapidly provision infrastructure for a broad range of applications. The HPE Synergy 660 Gen10 Compute Module delivers higher performance and scalability for your demanding, enterprise data-intensive workloads. The powerful Intel® Xeon® Scalable Family of processors (2 or 4 Socket), broad memory footprint (up to 6 TB of HPE DDR4 memory in 48 DIMM slots) and flexible I/O configuration give your large workloads, such as structured databases and business processing applications, the compute power and memory support they demand.

ArubaOS Software is the operating system for all Aruba controller-managed wireless LANs and Aruba Mobility Controllers. ArubaOS 6.5 is able to deliver a wide range of critical campus mobility services such as unified wired and wireless, enterprise grade security, simplified operations with centralized licensing and application aware visibility and control in AppRF.
ArubaOS 8 deployed as a virtual machine running on servers, is the operating system for all Aruba Mobility Controllers, Virtual Mobility Controllers, Mobility Master and controller-based access points. With an extensive set of integrated technologies and capabilities, ArubaOS 8 delivers automated RF planning ( AirMatch), multi tenancy in AP ( MultiZone), an always-on network (Controller Clustering) to support high density environments.

Aruba AirWave Management Platform is a scalable, full featured management solution for multi-vendor wired and wireless networks. Organizations gain the visibility, control and troubleshooting tools required to fully manage today’s distributed enterprise environments. AirWave integrates configuration and deployment and real-time visibility and control for comprehensive management and troubleshooting. This provides a flexible platform for maintaining the reliability and performance of Aruba access points, controllers, switches, and selected multi-vendor devices.

Aruba ClearPass Onboard Software lets BYOD and IT-issued devices connect safely to your network in compliance with security mandates. It automatically configures and provisions mobile devices and enable them to securely connect to enterprise networks.

ClearPass Onboard allows users configure devices for use on secure networks all on their own, enabling full and limited access based on roles, device type, and security posture. Unique device certificates eliminate the need for users to repeatedly enter login credentials throughout the day.

Aruba Virtual Mobility Controller (VMC) is deployed as a Virtual Machine and runs on ArubaOS 8. It provides a flexible deployment alternative to hardware mobility controllers (72xx and 7xxx). This virtual controller also provides plenty of capacity and speed for BYOD and IEEE 802.11ac devices for both campus or branch deployments.

VMC can be deployed as standalone or managed by the Aruba Mobility Master where it can support up to 100K users. A VMC deployment can benefit customers from operational cost savings as it can reside with other VMs sharing the same existing virtualization infrastructure.
