Aruba Central is a cloud-native network management platform that enables organisations to manage wired, wireless, and SD-WAN infrastructure from a single dashboard. It uses AI-powered analytics (AIOps) to optimise performance, improve security, and simplify operations across distributed enterprise networks.
Aruba Central is a cloud-native network management platform from HPE Aruba Networking (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) that enables organisations to manage wired, wireless, and SD-WAN infrastructure from a single dashboard.
It uses artificial intelligence (AIOps) to automate troubleshooting, optimise performance, and strengthen security across campus, branch, remote, and data centre environments.
Aruba Central acts as the management core of Aruba ESP (Edge Services Platform), delivering unified visibility and control across distributed enterprise networks.
Aruba Central connects your network infrastructure; switches, wireless access points, gateways, and SD-WAN devices, to a centralised cloud platform.
From one interface, IT teams can:
Provision new devices
Monitor performance in real time
Apply policy-based controls
Automate configuration changes
Detect anomalies using AI
Perform root cause analysis in minutes
Instead of reactive troubleshooting, HPE Aruba Central enables predictive network operations.
Aruba Central provides centralised management for switches, wireless access points, gateways, and SD-WAN devices across multiple locations. IT teams can deploy, configure, monitor, and troubleshoot networks from a single cloud-based interface, ensuring consistent policy enforcement across all sites.
Aruba User Experience Insight (UXI) is fully integrated into the Central dashboard, providing real-time monitoring of end-user experience. Synthetic testing and application performance visibility ensure service levels remain consistent across locations.
Machine learning algorithms correlate data across wired, wireless, and WAN infrastructure to detect performance degradation, client issues, and configuration errors automatically.
Aruba Central enables full SD-WAN orchestration, including:
Application-aware routing
WAN health monitoring
Branch traffic optimisation
Centralised policy management
This ensures secure, high-performance connectivity across distributed offices.
Built-in artificial intelligence continuously analyses network telemetry to: Detect anomalies before users are impacted Identify root causes faster Provide automated remediation guidance Improve client and application performance This reduces downtime and significantly lowers Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR).
Aruba Central integrates with Aruba ClearPass to deliver role-based access control, device profiling, and Zero Trust policy enforcement. Security policies follow users and devices across wired, wireless, and WAN environments, ensuring consistent protection without manual intervention.
