Aruba Network joins hands with Microsoft Azure for integrating IoT
Posted On Mar 25, 2021The recent news with Aruba Networks is more favourable with their networking devices and switches being used by a larger group of companies. The recent one being Ingles Market- a grocery store chain with 200 stores in the US replacing Cisco Networks. With this demand on the go, Aruba has to improve the networking solutions for many business infrastructures to sustain their demand.
The future of networking can be seen with IoT which automates complex processes that take time and efforts to simpler, effective and manageable things. At this point, the information of IoT is not with more and requires external parties to manage. Moreover, there are costs associated with each add, move or change.
Aruba Networking Devices have already moved its access points to fully-fledged IoT platforms. These IoT devices will be connected to Microsoft Azure IoT Hub. This will help customers to monitor, control and analyse IoT systems.
This IoT integration between Aruba Network and Microsoft Azure was announced at the event of Microsoft Ignite 2021 this month. Aruba Edge Services Platform’s (ESP) edge to cloud capability is expected to be strengthened with IoT by Microsoft Azure. The solutions that come under this union are - Aruba IoT Transport for Azure and the Aruba Central cloud management platform.
How it works?
Aruba products access points that are instant as well as controller-based act as virtual IoT gateways connecting IoT devices to Azure IoT Hub wirelessly and bidirectionally. This takes place through secure tunnels establishing secure connections.
The benefits are that customers no more need to assign to create a network connection as this edge to cloud transfer solution manages it all. There will be no more usage of intermediary connections to make it happen.
Moreover, these new solutions resulted from the union of Aruba and Azure is expected to cut off dependency on hardware, licensing costs and other maintenance fees. The number of networking devices can also be reduced which are used to monitor.
Aruba Networks assures the use of IoT in the present networking infrastructure without breaking down the current and using network structure.
As for customers, the integration of IoT can help in many ways in their business processes. The enterprise environment that is being followed today will be entirely changed with more easiness using the IoT. So, this is the time to look into Aruba products and their solutions before they increase the cost of usage.
