Heavy Networking 514: Aruba’s Vision Extends From The Data Center To The Edge (Sponsored)

On today’s Heavy Networking we talk about building a unified network infrastructure with Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company. While Aruba is best known for wireless, the company also has a portfolio of data center and campus switches, SD-WAN, and an access control and policy enforcement system to bring it all together.
This is a sponsored episode, and our guests are Keerti Melkote, Aruba President and Founder; and Michael Dickman, Senior Vice President and GM of Switching.
We discuss:

* Aruba’s origins in wireless
* AOS-CX, a revamped network operating system that runs across Aruba’s switch portfolio
* The company’s vision for unifying the network from the edge to the data center
* Transforming SD-WAN into SD-Branch
* The primacy of wireless as the access layer
* Aruba ClearPass as a compelling differentiator
* More
