It traces its roots to Aruba Networks, founded in 2002 in California and acquired by HP in 2015, and is known for enterprise wireless LAN, CX switching and the cloud-managed HPE Aruba Networking Central platform. Since HPE completed its acquisition of Juniper Networks in 2025, it operates within a combined HPE Networking organisation.
The portfolio spans Wi-Fi 7 access points, CX switches from the access layer to the data centre, EdgeConnect SD-WAN, ClearPass network access control, security service edge and the Instant On range for small businesses, all managed through Central. HPE has announced plans to extend its Saudi Made local production programme, already used for its servers assembled in Riyadh, to the HPE Aruba Networking portfolio for customers across the Kingdom and the wider region.
Cloud-native network management for wired, wireless and SD-WAN, with AIOps, configuration automation, third-party device monitoring and User Experience Insight sensors, now gaining Marvis AI capabilities shared with HPE Juniper Mist.
The HPE Aruba Networking 730 Series campus and 760 Series hardened access points deliver high-capacity Wi-Fi 7 with built-in security, location services and IoT radios for offices, campuses, industrial sites and large public venues.
A single switching family running AOS-CX from the compact CX 6000 access switch to core and data-centre platforms such as the CX 10000, with built-in analytics, dynamic segmentation and Central or Mist management.
HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN and security service edge combine WAN optimisation, zero-trust access and cloud-delivered security into a SASE architecture for branch offices, distributed enterprises and hybrid workforces.
ClearPass provides policy-based network access control and device profiling for zero-trust campus networks, while HPE Networking Instant On offers simple, cloud-managed access points and switches for small and medium businesses.
HPE's networking strategy is the self-driving network: AI that predicts issues, pinpoints root cause and takes action across campus, branch, data centre and AI-factory fabrics. Following the Juniper acquisition, HPE is unifying HPE Aruba Networking Central and the HPE Mist platform on a build-once, deploy-twice basis so both customer bases gain the same AI capabilities.
Marvis, the AI assistant from Mist, and Marvis Actions are now available within Central, bringing conversational troubleshooting and automated remediation to Aruba wired, wireless and SD-WAN estates. Aruba's Agentic Mesh of specialised AI agents is moving to Mist, CX switches are being integrated with Mist AIOps, and Wi-Fi 7 access points and User Experience Insight sensors feed the data these models rely on.
Where HPE Aruba Networking fits in the four-layer AI stack we bring to partners.
Explore the layerHPE brought Marvis self-driving capabilities into HPE Aruba Networking Central, began integrating the CX switching portfolio with HPE Mist AIOps, and introduced HPE Juniper Networking QFX5140 and QFX5252 switches for AI inference clusters and AMD Helios racks.
HPE introduced the HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 Layer 2 access switch with PoE models for point-of-sale, camera and IoT connectivity, added Wi-Fi 7 support to User Experience Insight sensors, and paired Marvis with retail analytics.
HPE set out plans to merge HPE Aruba Networking Central and Juniper Mist into a single AI-native management platform, adding Juniper's Large Experience Model to Central and Aruba's Agentic Mesh to Mist, with shared capabilities rolling out from early 2026.
HPE announced that its Saudi Made local production initiative, which builds HPE servers with alfanar in Riyadh, would expand to include the HPE Aruba Networking portfolio, with Saudi Made products also available in Jordan, Egypt and Gulf countries.
