HPE Aruba Networking EC‑M‑H 8x RJ45 10/100/1000 4x SFP+ 1/10G SD‑WAN gateway/controller 10, 100, 1000, 10000 Mbit/s

HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN deployed in branch offices, HQ/ data center sites, or public cloud enables you to move to a broadband WAN at your own pace, whether site by site or through a hybrid WAN approach that leverages MPLS and broadband internet connectivity.

HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN is built upon an application-specific virtual WAN overlay model. Multiple overlays may be defined to abstract the underlying physical transport services from the virtual overlays, each supporting different quality of service (QoS), transport, failover, and security policies, delivering outstanding application performance and availability across any transport service.

It automates the integration with leading cloud security partner solutions to create seamless, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture. HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass integration augments application intelligence with identity and role-based policy, enabling Zero Trust Dynamic Segmentation.

Business-driven Management with Policy Automation
- The HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect Orchestration Software enables rapid and consistent implementation of network-wide business intent policies, reducing many of the repetitive and mundane manual steps required to configure and connect remote offices and branch locations.
- The HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect Orchestration Software monitors real-time throughput, loss, latency, and jitter across business intent overlays and the underlying transport services to proactively identify potential performance impacts.
- It directly launches the HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect Orchestration Software from HPE Aruba Networking Central.
- HPE Aruba Networking Central provides the ability to view the enterprise-wide SD-WAN topology, health status, and alarms of HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN in addition to other HPE Aruba Networking wired and wireless network devices.

Best-of-Breed Secure Access Service (SASE)
- HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN automates the integration with leading cloud security partners such as Zscaler, Netskope, Check Point, Palo Alto Networks, McAfee, and others to create a seamless SASE architecture.
- It automates orchestration, using a drag-and-drop interface and, enables IT to configure consistent enterprise-wide security policies based on business requirements.
- HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN offers flexibility and freedom of choice in partnering up with leading cloud security partners. This integration supports local internet breakout to trusted SaaS and IaaS applications while enforcing security controls over traffic flow.

Consistent Security Policy Enforcement, Network-wide from Edge to Cloud
- The HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass integration with HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN augments application intelligence with the user and device identity and role-based policy, enabling Zero Trust Dynamic Segmentation.
- Additional identity-based context enables consistent security policy enforcement that can be implemented network-wide, from edge to the cloud, while also accelerating troubleshooting and problem resolution.
- HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass, Zero Trust Security framework the network can identify, segment IoT devices andtraffic at the network edge to isolate it from other traffic in the network. This new layer of context enables fine-grained segmentation without the complexity of managing multiple VLANs.

Connect to Hundreds of SaaS Applications Using the Fastest Path Available
- With SaaS Express, HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN software verifies that the application traffic is routed to the ideal SaaS entry point, even if it differs from the default location.
- SaaS Express feature uses synthetic polling reinforced by actual packet observations, to continuously identify the best path to reach a set of well-known applications.
- SaaS Express finds the best possible end-to-end path to improve the application performance regardless of how the customer chooses to break out the SaaS traffic.
- HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN software first packet application identification enables secure local internet breakout to the closest SaaS and IaaS doorsteps, delivering outstanding end-user quality of experience for applications wherever they are hosted.
