Customers can now extend network segmentation
end-to-end across the LAN, SD-WAN fabric and cloud, while
leveraging the AWS Global Network to improve security and reduce
operational complexity and costs
Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE: HPE), today
announced Aruba SD-WAN support and integration with Amazon Web
Services’ (AWS) new AWS Cloud WAN, an innovative cloud networking
service introduced today at AWS re:Invent. This new solution will
enable Aruba customers to use the policy-based framework of AWS
Cloud WAN to create advanced WAN topologies with integrated network
segmentation that aligns seamlessly with the Aruba SD-WAN fabric.
Now, all the advantages of network segmentation at the edge – in
the LAN and WAN – can be extended from headquarters and branches
across the AWS cloud.
As organizations increasingly utilize the cloud to host their
business applications, they want the most flexible and modern
SD-WAN solution that lets them achieve the highest return on cloud
investments through better economics, control, reliability, and
performance. Of equal importance, these organizations want to
leverage cloud infrastructures like the AWS global network to build
more flexible and secure enterprise WANs.
With this latest development, Aruba now supports the widest
range of integrations with AWS, making Aruba SD-WAN the cloud
onramp of choice for cloud-first enterprises. This year’s re:Invent
marks the third year in a row that Aruba has been a launch
affiliate for new AWS network services. In 2020, Aruba announced
support for AWS Transit Gateway Connect and in 2019, Aruba launched
API-based automation with AWS Transit Gateway Network Manager.
Aruba’s SD-WAN solutions, an integral part of Aruba ESP (Edge
Services Platform), provide enterprises with a sophisticated,
flexible on-ramp to AWS network services, allowing users to easily
integrate their SD-WAN with a wide range of hybrid and multi-cloud
services. Aruba’s integration with AWS Cloud WAN provides complete
support for cloud connectivity use cases which extend LAN/WAN
network segmentation and traffic isolation from the edge to and
through the AWS global backbone network.
The benefits of LAN/WAN segmentation with AWS Cloud WAN
include:
- Improved network security from edge to cloud: Easily
segmenting users, devices, applications, and WAN services into
secure end-to-end zones in compliance with predefined security
policies, regulatory mandates, and business intent provides
consistent security policies and automated enforcement across the
enterprise. Fine-grained LAN segmentation is translated to
course-grained, VRF-like private network segments that extend
across the AWS Cloud WAN.
- Faster spin-up of new branch sites and Cloud VPCs: The
integrated solution, combined with the new “one-click” EdgeConnect
VPC instantiation, automates network deployments, removing the
complexity associated with manual, step-by-step configuration of
the SD-WAN (IPSec tunnels, segmentation, route tables, and VRFs)
with the common AWS Core Network Policy, which can be
time-consuming and error-prone.
Organizations can now extend policy-based network segmentation
from the branch edge – which spans the campus, branch, microbranch,
and remote worker solutions – into the AWS global network. Aruba
SD-WAN integration with AWS Cloud WAN is enabled through Aruba
Orchestrator and Aruba Central, making it easy to deploy, manage,
and operate sophisticated WAN networks over AWS. Aruba Orchestrator
now also supports automated “one-click” deployment of EdgeConnect
SD-WAN instances directly into AWS VPC’s. This new automation
capability is seamlessly integrated with EdgeConnect’s zero-touch
provisioning workflow, and further simplifies the deployment and
commissioning process for solutions using Cloud WAN.
“This latest integration with AWS Cloud WAN changes the game for
enterprises looking to maximize flexibility and reduce operational
complexity while strengthening security posture within their
cloud-centric WAN deployments,” said David Hughes, chief product
and technology officer at Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise
company. “Integrations like these play an important role within
Aruba ESP by enabling edge-to-cloud security for organizations as
they adopt a Zero Trust SASE approach, while maximizing choice and
flexibility as they implement their cloud strategy.”
The new Aruba SD-WAN solution with AWS Cloud WAN will be
previewed at AWS re:Invent, with general availability anticipated
in 2022. For more information, please visit
