Aruba Networks has been pushing the limits of software-defined networking and cloud-first networking for the past several years, but the COVID-19 pandemic has forced these networking trends into the forefront as businesses grappled with a suddenly remote workforce off of the safe and reliable enterprise network.
To that end, the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company introduced the Aruba Edge Services Platform (ESP) during the Aruba Atmosphere 2020 virtual event that can analyze data across domains and identify any issues or abnormalities and self-optimize, all before users notice any impact. The platform is a great option for MSPs, or partners that want to adopt the MSP model, but perhaps don’t have the resources to build out their own infrastructure at the moment, said Aruba CTO Partha Narasimhan.
Narasimhan sat down with CRN during the virtual event to talk technology trends like SDN, 5G, and how valuable network data can actually help organizations get back to business, with the help of channel partners.
What follows are excerpts from the conversation.
