The path to an adaptive, modern network

As the pandemic pushes into its third year, companies seem to have settled into a new norm—one where many employees continue to work remotely, where business requirements are constantly shifting, and where companies know that to win, they must adapt to change at a moment’s notice. When I speak to customers, they confirm the challenges associated with these trends. Managing and securing the network looks different than it did just two years ago—especially given that most of these networks are made up of multi-generations of infrastructure stitched together over time. Those networks were not designed with these changing conditions and new technologies in mind.

在创建自适应网络基础的同时减少复杂性的需求是我们在网络现代化方面的最新创新背后的想法。Today we announcedsignificant advancements toAruba ESP.(Edge Services Platform), with new functionality in Aruba Central to enable organizations to keep pace with rapidly changing business requirements.

Our newAruba Central NetConductorsolution allows enterprises to centrally manage roles, authentication and access permissions of distributed networks with cloud-native services that simplify policy provisioning and automate the orchestration of network configurations in wired, wireless, and WAN infrastructures. Central NetConductor enables network agility for users and IoT deployments while also enforcing Zero Trust and SASE security policies.

This announcement is important because it recognizes the need for organizations to根据三个原则，不断对网络进行现代化现代化：

• Automation -Simplified workflows and AI-powered automation to reduce the time and resources required to plan, deploy, and manage networks that support remote, branch, campus, and cloud connectivity. Central NetConductor includes intent-based workflows with “one-button” connectivity and security policy orchestration.
• 安全 -Increased threat detection and protection with built-in identity-based access control and Dynamic Segmentation that are the foundation for Zero Trust and SASE frameworks. Central NetConductor provides pervasive role-based access control that extends Dynamic Segmentation for Zero Trust and SASE security policy enforcement.
• Agility -Unified, cloud-native, standards-based architecture for investment protection and ease of adoption with NaaS consumption models to optimize budget and staff resources. Central NetConductor uses cloud-native services for a single point of visibility and control to ease the migration and adoption of new services while preserving existing investments.

作为此公告的一部分，我们还介绍了其他进步，以帮助客户进行自适应，现代网络体系结构。

Self-locating indoor access points

We introduced the industry’s first self-locating indoor APs with built-in GPS receivers and Open Locate, a proposed new industry standard for sharing location information from an access point to a device. This means that for IT, we've done away with the need for manually mapping your network, and now it will update access point location dynamically and accurately. For Lines of Business, accurate and affordable indoor location opens the door for a new generation of applications, like we’ve seen with outdoor GPS.

New NaaS offerings

我们的公告中的第三部分围绕我们的网络服务（NAAS）产品。当组织重新考虑他们如何购买和管理网络时，敏捷和灵活的需求是NAAS采用急剧上升的关键驱动力。上个星期，HPE宣布了HPE Greenlake平台的重大进步188网站足彩with 12 new cloud services spanning networking, storage, high performance computing, and compute to help organizations modernize all their applications and data, from edge to cloud.

网络的这s announcement is ourHPE GreenLake for Aruba，或网络作为服务（NAAS）。这为那些寻求解决方案的人提供了敏捷和动态的网络选项，该解决方案可以随着业务需求的转移而弯曲或向下。最新公告包括围绕流行的企业网络用例设计的八个标准化产品，为NAAS部署提供了更大的简单性和加速时间的价值。

The advancements that we introduced today will help customers on their journey to an adaptive and modern network architecture. While none of us can predict the next big shift with absolute certainty, we can plan for change and set up our network—and our business—to be ready for anything.
