"Speaking to journalists ahead of the event, Rami Rahim - formerly CEO of Juniper Networks, now EVP and GM of HPE Networking - said the business' goal is to "unify the experience of these two platforms by leveraging the microservices architecture for both and cross pollinating capabilities from one onto another". What this means in practice, for now at least, is that both Juniper and Aruba Central will co-exist within HPE."
"Marvis, a virtual assistant previously described by Juniper as a "key part of the Juniper AI native networking platform", and Large Experience Models (LEM) will be moving over to Aruba Central. The rationale behind this, Rahim said, is that both these capabilities are AIOps, which is where Aruba Central is strongest. Meanwhile, client profiling and organizational insights from Aruba Central will move over to Juniper Mist."
"At the hardware level, there's also a unification strategy underway, with the announcement of a dual platform Wi-Fi 7 access point (AP), which works across both Aruba Networking Central and Aruba Networking Mist. Describing this as the "first of many" of this type of hardware, Rahim said: "This is a huge breakthrough [with] massive advantages for our customers, starting with flexibility. Dual"
HPE plans to unify Juniper and Aruba networking platforms by leveraging microservices architecture and cross-pollinating capabilities between them. Juniper and Aruba Central will co-exist while selected technologies migrate to the platform best suited to each capability. Marvis and Large Experience Models (LEM) will move to Aruba Central to leverage AIOps strengths. Client profiling and organizational insights from Aruba Central will migrate to Juniper Mist. Initial integration changes are scheduled for the first quarter of 2026, with ongoing cross-pollination and assurances that existing users and deployments will continue to be supported.
