新解决方案简化了物联网设备的连接，并将Aruba ESP带到Microsoft Azure
加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉 - （商业资讯） -Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE: HPE), in collaboration with Microsoft, announced two new solutions that enable organizations to accelerate their digital transformation from edge-to-cloud by delivering deeper integration betweenAruba ESP（边缘服务平台）和Microsoft Azure。在Microsoft Ignite 2021, the first solution is Aruba IoT Transport for Azure, a service that enables IoT devices connected to Aruba access points (APs) and controllers to bi-directionally communicate with the Azure IoT Hub. In addition, Aruba announced the introduction of the Aruba Central cloud management platform hosted on Azure, bringing Aruba’s enterprise-grade cloud networking solution, with more than 1 million devices already under management, to Azure.
Expressway for IoT Data
IoT devices are the eyes and ears of any smart facility. When powered by a secure, cloud-native infrastructure, the value of the data they collect increases exponentially, especially when the infrastructure has the ability to provide data that interacts seamlessly with business and facility applications. The better instrumented a facility is with IoT devices, the more hyper-aware it becomes, thus yielding better, richer insights, which can then be utilized across the infrastructure in support of business objectives.
然而，安全和经济地实施物联网监测和控制设备的设备可能具有挑战性。数据及其来源的广度，与使用不可接受的协议，确保数据路径的旧IoT设备的接口以及实施的高额成本只是组织在进行设施现代化项目时可能遇到的一些障碍。
Aruba与Microsoft紧密合作，开发了Aruba IoT运输Azure Service（用于通用应用程序中的第一家），以应对这些挑战。Aruba IoT运输Azure的运输使Aruba ESP的力量无缝地实现了与Aruba AP和控制器连接的IoT设备的安全，双向移动，使客户能够利用各种服务和应用程序，可在Azure中提供广泛的服务和应用。Azure的Aruba IoT Transport消除了对中间网关，服务器或应用程序的需求，从而减少了处理延迟。此外，该解决方案允许客户在其现有的Aruba基础架构上运行物联网系统和服务，从而减少了开发本土或定制解决方案的时间，成本和风险。这使客户着重于仪器设施，实现超明显，并从其业务流程中获得更深入的见解。
在IoT方面，安全总是和中心的，因为许多物联网设备从根本上都是不可信的。Aruba的Azure物联网运输是从地面上设计的，并以安全为基石。灵活，内置的凭证管理和身份验证政策可以防止北行数据平面和南行控制平面上的安全威胁。
企业级云网络用于Azure
Technology research firm IDC states that by 2022, 50 percent of infrastructure deployed will be in critical edge locations, and by 2024, over 75 percent of infrastructure in edge locations will be consumed or operated via an as a service model.1但是，将分布式基础架构作为服务管理需要一个可扩展，安全且可扩展的平台。Aruba ESP结合了统一的基础架构，物联网和操作技术（OT）设备，零信任安全框架以及AIOPS来提供一个自动化的云本地平台，该平台连续分析跨域中的数据，以预测和解决网络边缘的问题。
Aruba Central是Aruba ESP的关键要素，是一项云本地服务，旨在统一校园，分支，远程和数据中心网络的管理。Azure上的Aruba Central将允许IT管理员从单个控制点管理和优化网络。
“Edge networking and IoT have had a profoundly positive impact on businesses, however, their recent convergence has surfaced interoperability challenges across platforms, applications, and systems,” said Michael Tennefoss, vice president of IoT and Strategic Partnerships at Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company. “Simplifying the integration of edge IoT and cloud services using the advanced cloud capabilities of Aruba ESP with the extensibility and power of Microsoft Azure overcomes these challenges. And it does so without sacrificing security, manageability, or reliability. The ubiquity of Azure, and its 99.99 percent regional availability, makes the solution attractive to customers worldwide that want better informed decisions and continuous process improvements.”
“物联网帮助组织做出更聪明的决定 - 因此，他们可以更有效，更具弹性，并为客户和员工提供更好的体验，” Microsoft Azure IoT的公司副总裁Sam George说：“我们与Aruba的合作简化了这一过程。for IT Administrators who are adding IoT devices to their traditional enterprise environments, allowing them to use their existing Aruba network to connect devices to Microsoft Azure IoT Hub in a bi-directionally secured way. It’s a cost-effective, seamless path to powerful transformation.”
Aruba IoT运输Azure和Aruba Central on Azure将于2021年提供。有关Microsoft的Aruba Solutions的更多信息，请访问//www.nexbus-cng.com/partners/microsoft-solutions/。
