Aruba Central

Aruba Central is a cloud-native network management and operations platform developed by Aruba Networks, a subsidiary of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). It provides a single pane of glass for managing wired switches, wireless access points, and SD-WAN gateways, with capabilities including zero-touch provisioning, AI-powered analytics (Aruba AIOps), real-time monitoring, and policy orchestration. The platform is delivered as a subscription service and is widely used by enterprises, education, healthcare, and retail organizations to simplify IT operations across distributed sites. Aruba Central is positioned as part of HPE's edge-to-cloud strategy, integrating with HPE GreenLake and Aruba's security fabric. It competes with cloud-managed networking offerings such as Cisco Meraki and Juniper Mist. The brand is known for its user-friendly interface, strong wireless focus, and tight integration with Aruba's hardware portfolio.

Aruba Central was introduced by Aruba Networks as a cloud-based management solution for its wireless access points, later expanding to switches and SD-WAN. Following HPE's acquisition of Aruba Networks in 2015, Aruba Central became a key component of HPE's networking portfolio. The platform has evolved to incorporate AIOps and integration with HPE GreenLake, reflecting the industry shift toward cloud-managed networking.
