HPE announced the integration of HPE Networking EdgeConnect with both HPE Mist and HPE Aruba Central, bringing together HPE's premier SASE, wired access, and wireless LAN solutions together under a unified agentic framework. The integration extends HPE's self-driving networking strategy by delivering enhanced visibility and simplified agentic NetOps and SecOps capabilities from the edge to the cloud.

As enterprises become more distributed, user experiences and IoT use cases increasingly span campus, branch, WAN, cloud, and security environments. Yet network and security teams often lack a unified view across these domains, making it harder to troubleshoot issues, maintain security, and deliver consistent digital experiences.

“As Australian organisations accelerate their adoption of AI, the demands on enterprise networks are changing significantly. With more devices, applications and AI systems operating across increasingly distributed environments, organisations are managing greater complexity and security risks, often without the additional resources to keep pace,” said Andrew Fox, General Manager, HPE Networking ANZ. "For Australian businesses, this is placing growing pressure on IT teams to maintain secure, reliable connectivity while managing increasingly complex networks".

“The next evolution in enterprise networking is moving from reactive troubleshooting to networks that can anticipate and resolve issues before they impact the business. Businesses need networks that can adapt as their requirements change, and support security from the outset, rather than treating it as an additional layer. Bringing networking and security operations together under a more unified, intelligent approach is critical to making this possible, giving IT teams greater oversight and control while allowing them to move beyond routine troubleshooting towards more strategic priorities. By integrating HPE Networking EdgeConnect with HPE Mist and HPE Aruba Central, we're helping organisations take that next step towards self-driving networks, where greater visibility, intelligent automation and integrated security enable IT teams to operate more efficiently and deliver better experiences for employees and customers.”

HPE Networking EdgeConnect delivers unified SASE, which brings together advanced SD-WAN and SSE to securely connect branch locations and employees to applications wherever they are while improving performance and resilience. Additional built-in security features help protect users, applications and branch offices from cyber threats, while also simplifying network management. 

“HPE Networking is becoming an increasingly important driver of HPE’s growth strategy and a connective layer for the AI-ready enterprise,” said Bob Laliberte, Principal Analyst & Founder at Liberte Research Group. “HPE Marvis is expanding as a common intelligence layer, while HPE works to bring together the strengths of HPE Mist, HPE Aruba Central and the broader Juniper portfolio without forcing customers into disruptive migrations.”
