Making Sense

HPE Aruba's new NetInsight offering gives partners an opportunity to push a profitable blend of services into a large install base hungry for network performance and analytics solutions that can make sense of the growing number of people and devices on the network.

Introduced at HPE Aruba's Atmosphere conference in Las Vegas, NetInsight continuously monitors the network and relays critical information about its performance to users. It also gives recommendations for how to tackle specific network problems and how to optimize the network for mobile, wireless and Internet of Things devices.

Trent Fierro, director of software solutions marketing at the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company, says partners not only benefit from HPE Aruba's large install base, but also from the newfound ability, via NetInsight, to bridge the gap between corporate real estate and IT departments.

What follows is an edited excerpt of Fierro's conversation with CRN.
