HPE Aruba Networking is the networking business unit of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE HPE), born of Aruba Networks (founded 2002, acquired by HPE in 2015) and reinforced by the acquisitions of Silver Peak (SD-WAN, 2020), Axis Security (SSE, 2023), and Pensando (data processing units / smart switches, 2022). Its portfolio covers campus and branch Wi-Fi, AOS-CX and AOS-Switch data-center and campus switching, the Aruba Central cloud management plane, ClearPass network access control, EdgeConnect SD-WAN, the HPE Aruba Networking SSE cloud security service, the User Experience Insight synthetic-monitoring sensors, and the HPE Aruba Networking Fabric Composer data-center fabric controller. Aruba is one of the most API-first vendors in enterprise networking — its developer hub publishes REST, streaming, and webhook documentation; its GitHub org carries 50+ public repositories including Python SDKs (pycentral, pyaoscx, pyclearpass, pyedgeconnect, pyafc, pyhpeuxi, pyhpesse), a Go SDK (aoscxgo), Ansible collections, a Terraform provider, the Network Analytics Engine script library, and the YANG models that back AOS-CX.
