HPE Aruba Networking’s SMB business increases focus on helping
customers adapt to greater needs for security and
bandwidth-intensive cloud applications with a new 2.5GB switch and
Wi-Fi 6 access point
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced new
product innovations to enable small and medium-sized businesses
(SMBs) improve customer networks with faster speeds, increased
capacity, and strengthened security.
HPE Aruba Networking is introducing the Aruba Instant On AP22D,
a Wi-Fi 6 access point, and the Aruba Instant On 1960 stackable
switch with 2.5GB port capacity, both designed to optimize network
performance for employees and provide a smoother experience for
customers, guests, and IoT devices.
As many SMBs are migrating their workloads to the cloud and
experiencing significant growth of data-intensive applications,
such as streaming video on end devices, the demands on their
networks have also increased, with a heightened focus on network
security and ability to manage access to their networks.
The combination of the Aruba Instant On AP22D access point and
the Aruba Instant On 1960 stackable switch is ideal for SMBs with
high data demands and a growing number of connected devices that
connect to the network. The new products are designed to seamlessly
and securely handle volumes of traffic generated by a growing
number of connected devices.
“SMBs are looking for high performance, easy-to-use, affordable
network with cloud agility that allows them to expand their
networks along with their businesses,” said Amol Mitra, vice
president and general manager, HPE Aruba Networking global small
and medium business. “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 allows small and medium
businesses to deploy a high-speed network that is easy to set up,
manage, and maintain. The new products introduced today continue to
advance HPE Aruba Networking’s edge-to-cloud strategy by offering a
cloud-first, intuitive and scalable network - at an affordable
price, notable as IDC research 1 expects most SMBs to increase
their IT budgets this year:
- Aruba Instant On AP22D Wi-Fi 6 access point, which can
effectively manage multiple connections at their best possible
speed, also allowing more devices to access the network without
experiencing bottlenecks or performance degradation.
- Aruba Instant On 1960 stackable switch with 2.5 gig port
capacity, which allows for easy expansion of the network as the
organization grows. With the ability to stack multiple switches,
customers can add more ports and capacity without significant
additional investments.
Features of the new product innovations include:
- The Aruba Instant On 1960 stackable switch is available
for cloud stacking or normal physical stacking, with the ability to
manage multiple switches as a single stack.
- Multi-site management to manage traffic at different locations
across the business.
- Policy management capabilities can be created to automatically
manage devices and quality of service (QoS) for different types of
