ARUBA CENTRAL NETCONDUCTOR 

WINNER: OVERALL 

Aruba, an HPE company, in March unveiled Aruba Central NetConductor, a new set of capabilities in Aruba Central that uses AI technology to simplify and automate network policy provisioning, including for specific use cases such as IoT device on-boarding and management. As networks become increasingly complex and distributed, solution providers use Aruba Central NetConductor to define network policies, centralize the management of far-flung networks, and automate network configurations in wired, wireless and WAN infrastructures—all without worrying about the underlying network construct. Aruba Central NetConductor was the overall winner in this category and received the highest survey score in customer need. Subcategory Winner–Technology, Revenue and Profit: Eaton 5PX Gen2
