As organizations pursue digital transformation initiatives,
network modernization is critical for achieving new business
outcomes. However, with the growth of hybrid work, new user
engagement models, and challenges resulting from the ‘Great
Resignation’ and widening skills gaps, IT teams must find ways to
achieve greater efficiencies. Yesterday’s time-intensive manual
processes are simply inadequate for today’s quickly-changing
business environment. Powerful analytics, AI-based insights, and
automation supplement – not replace – networking teams by reducing
manual tasks so they can focus on more strategic and higher-value
projects.
In development since 2013, Aruba AIOps capabilities leverage
Aruba’s industry-leading data lake, which continuously and
anonymously collects and analyzes device, user, and location data
from over 120,000 Aruba Central customers, from more than 2 million
network devices and 200 million clients per day. The unmatched
reliability of Aruba’s AI is directly related to the high volume
and wide variety of network and client data, the constant training
of models, and the unique ability to provide insights that tackle
both network and security concerns. This allows network teams from
every industry and size to trust that Aruba AIOps will automate
mundane tasks, shrink the time needed to find and fix problems,
increase security controls, and help ensure that all network users
have the best possible experience.
“For AI results that customers can trust, the key ingredient is
not a mathematical model, but access to a large volume and variety
of data to train the models to produce reliable results across all
network topologies. Without that foundation, so-called “AI” is
nothing more than demoware,” said Larry Lunetta, vice president of
portfolio solutions marketing at Aruba. “Fueled by our data lake,
our AIOps solutions help enterprises reduce trouble tickets by up
to 75 percent while optimizing their network performance by 25
percent or more.”
The new AI-powered IT efficiency features include:
- Aruba Client Insights: Automatically identifies each
endpoint connecting to the network with up to 99% accuracy, which
is especially important as increasing numbers of IoT devices are
added to networks, sometimes without approval from IT. This allows
organizations to better understand what’s on their networks,
automate access privileges, and monitor the behavior of each
client’s traffic flows to more rapidly spot attacks and take
action.
- AI-powered Firmware Recommender: Provides IT teams with
the best version of firmware to run for the wireless access points
in their environments – regardless of model numbers. This greatly
reduces support calls and guesswork that network admins face, and
helps ensure new features and fixes are implemented more
quickly.
- AI Search in Spanish: The same built-in natural language
search function in Aruba Central shows its versatility by now
supporting queries and responses in Spanish to satisfy the needs of
our second largest geographical user community.
- Automated Infrastructure Predictions: Leverages Aruba’s
AI Assist feature and Aruba Support outreach to recognize possible
hardware and software infrastructure issues for preemptive
engagement that can consist of firmware upgrades or recommended
hardware replacement.
“With hybrid work and new customer engagement models, network
complexity is unavoidable as organizations modernize their network
infrastructure to successfully support corporate initiatives,” said
Bob Laliberte, principal analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group.
“When a network vendor demonstrates reliable, real-world AI
solutions, NetOps teams are increasingly adopting and trusting the
actions of machine learning and other automation technologies. In
fact, ESG research highlights that almost a quarter (21%) of
organizations are comfortable with software that automatically
detects, analyses, recommends, and makes network changes, and 59%
report being comfortable with technology that alerts and provides
recommendations, which are then manually executed. We expect these
percentages to climb as more organizations gain experience with and
recognize the benefits AI delivers.”
“We rely on the AIOps capabilities in Aruba Central. With these
new features, not only can we quickly see if our network users are
experiencing problems, but we can also identify actual issues and
take steps to address them before any users are impacted, saving us
many hours of after-the-fact issue investigation and remediation,”
said Justin Kuzara, network engineer at CIC Group. “Additionally,
having client-oriented security analytics helps our team better
protect the organization without having to use a separate
product.”
Pricing and Availability
Aruba Client Insights is available now. AI Search, AI-powered
Firmware Recommender, and Infrastructure Predictions are available
for early access and will be generally available in October 2022.
Each of these features are included in Aruba Central Foundation
licensing.
