We virtually met Nicola Villa, the company’s Sales Manager, who talked to us about how his company relies on the services of Aruba Central .

Aruba Central: a single dashboard to manage customer infrastructures

The cloud-based Aruba Central platform is at the heart of HPE Aruba’s strategy and allows companies as well as those providing them services, as in the case of ABS Computers, to set up complex network infrastructures in a short time and manage them remotely. From the point of view of end customers, companies that rely on services, the advantage is that they do not have to worry about the costs to set up the architecture or have the skills to manage and maintain it at home, as well as being able to scale quickly in case of necessity. For companies like ABS Computer, those that resell these services, the advantage of simplicity of implementation is added to the possibility of managing all customer infrastructures from a centralized dashboard.

Instead of having to switch from one dashboard to another, with the additional complication of having to have numerous credentials, you can count on a single control panel, through which you can monitor the systems of dozens, if not hundreds of companies.

ABS Computers and Aruba Central

Among the services offered by ABS Computers is that of network management : ABS can take control of the existing network, thus leaving the customer’s IT resources free, or building one from scratch. In both cases, one of the most important tools for remote management is Aruba Central, which allows ABS to easily manage numerous customers. Also thanks to the artificial intelligence algorithms , which support the operators in every phase. Aruba Central is able to automatically optimize the network based on usage, even optimizing the RF transmission parameters of the wireless access points to ensure the best signal coverage.

Aruba Central’s AI analyzes the data of all connected devices (switches, gateways, access points), evaluating which ones can represent a bottleneck and offering suggestions on how to optimize the infrastructure. A considerable advantage for companies like ABS Computers, which can remotely identify any critical issues in a short time, and intervene where necessary. HPE Aruba does not just make the cloud “intelligent”: the Aruba Esp platform is designed to apply the artificial intelligence even at the edge. Thanks to Aruba ESP it is possible to solve problems with Wi-Fi, wired or SD-WAN networks and adopt a zero-trust approach to the network, guaranteeing greater security for those who connect remotely, for example in the case of smart working.
