Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced a range of innovative products designed to empower small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to enhance their customer networks. These new offerings from HPE Aruba Networking are aimed at delivering faster speeds, increased capacity, and enhanced security to SMBs.
HPE Aruba Networking is introducing two key products:
Aruba Instant On AP22D: This is a Wi-Fi 6 access point designed to optimize network performance for employees and provide a smoother experience for customers, guests, and IoT (Internet of Things) devices. It is engineered to effectively manage multiple connections at their best possible speed, accommodating a growing number of devices accessing the network without bottlenecks or performance degradation.
Aruba Instant On 1960 Stackable Switch: This switch features a 2.5GB port capacity and is stackable, allowing for easy network expansion as an organization grows. The ability to stack multiple switches enables customers to add more ports and capacity without significant additional investments. This is particularly beneficial for SMBs with high data demands and a growing number of connected devices.
As SMBs increasingly migrate their workloads to the cloud and experience significant growth in data-intensive applications, the demands on their networks have risen. Network security and the ability to manage network access have become paramount concerns for SMBs.
The combination of the Aruba Instant On AP22D access point and the Aruba Instant On 1960 stackable switch is particularly well-suited for SMBs facing these challenges. These new products are designed to seamlessly and securely handle the growing volumes of traffic generated by an expanding array of connected devices.
Amol Mitra, Vice President and General Manager of HPE Aruba Networking’s global small and medium business division, noted, “SMBs are looking for high performance, easy-to-use, affordable networks with cloud agility that allows them to expand their networks along with their businesses. HPE Aruba Networking simplifies network deployment and management via an intuitive mobile app that delivers a simple, smart, and secure offering for SMB customers.”
The Aruba Instant On portfolio enables small and medium businesses to deploy high-speed networks that are easy to set up, manage, and maintain. These new offerings align with HPE Aruba Networking’s edge-to-cloud strategy by providing a cloud-first, intuitive, and scalable network solution at an affordable price point.
The introduction of these products comes at a significant time, as IDC research expects most SMBs to increase their IT budgets this year. HPE’s commitment to delivering innovative networking solutions is poised to benefit SMBs seeking to improve their network performance, security, and scalability.
