The best features of the HPE Aruba Networking UXI revolve around LAN services in most cases, including configuration for monitoring and the ability to set up Aruba Central across different tenants on the same platform. However, security used to be a gap because many think of Fortinet for security. In the past, Aruba's SD-WAN solution was not fully developed, but today they have a more advanced SD-WAN security solution. Previously, we relied more on Fortinet for security. Other Aruba solutions, such as switches, WLAN, routers, and LAN communication infrastructure, were used extensively. The AI-driven insights for optimizing network operations with the HPE Aruba Networking UXI focus primarily on SD-WAN. Due to the difficulties with communication links in Brazil, especially between LAN and WLAN, we often rely on satellite links such as Starlink or mobile networks such as 4G and 5G. The infrastructure varies significantly across the country, with better service in bigger cities than in smaller ones. The government is increasingly investing in improving communication quality for smaller businesses in these regions. The integration of HPE Aruba Networking UXI with other security and networking tools is quite robust. The integration improves monitoring significantly, as we commonly use Zabbix in Brazil. The HPE Aruba Networking UXI integrates with Zabbix, allowing us to collect information from firewalls, routers, access points, and more. From Zabbix, we also use Grafana to present our clients with monitoring information over time. This enables our operational team to identify potential problems proactively before clients need to open support tickets, allowing us to address issues swiftly and keep our clients informed.
