HPE Discover Barcelona 2025 – Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) has announced a major expansion of its AI-native networking portfolio, accelerating its vision for autonomous networking and intelligent IT operations. The update integrates HPE Aruba Networking and HPE Juniper Networking just five months after the completion of the Juniper acquisition—signalling rapid execution against its post-merger roadmap.
The new portfolio launches shared AIOps features and standardised hardware across HPE Aruba Networking Central and HPE Juniper Networking Mist. Together with enhanced HPE OpsRamp Software and new data centre switching and routing solutions, HPE is positioning networking as a core performance accelerator for AI workloads while simplifying interoperability across hybrid and multi-cloud estates. The platform incorporates agentic AI with full compatibility for GreenLake Intelligence.
“In the era of AI, customers need networks that are purpose-built with AI and for AI to handle the rapid growth of connected devices, complex environments, and increasing security threats,” said Rami Rahim, executive vice president, president and general manager, Networking, HPE. “By delivering autonomous, high-performing networks, HPE is poised to disrupt the networking industry with future-ready solutions that redefine user experiences and provide robust, secure connectivity across all environments.”
The unified AIOps approach bridges both networking ecosystems with a shared agentic AI and microservices foundation. New integrated functionality includes:
- HPE Juniper Networking Mist LEM intelligence introduced into HPE Aruba Networking Central
- Agentic Mesh from HPE Aruba Networking added to Mist for sophisticated reasoning and autonomous correction
- Shared NOC-level operational analytics across both platforms
- WiFi-7 access points engineered for cross-platform compatibility
HPE Aruba Networking Central On-Premises 3.0 enhances secure on-site deployments with generative AI-powered diagnostics, proactive remediation features, enhanced automation, and an updated workflow-focused interface.
Supporting next-generation AI networking performance, HPE has introduced the HPE Juniper Networking QFX5250 switch, featuring Broadcom Tomahawk 6 silicon and Ultra Ethernet Transport readiness. The HPE Juniper Networking MX301 router complements this with high-density connectivity designed for inference workloads, metro-scale routing and hybrid enterprise needs.
Through expanded collaboration with NVIDIA and AMD, HPE now offers new AI-factory-ready architectures that combine high-performance Ethernet interconnects, edge routing and AI acceleration hardware. These developments improve workload efficiency across distributed training and inference environments.
Advancements in HPE OpsRamp Software extend hybrid operational intelligence with cross-domain observability spanning compute, storage, networking and cloud workloads. New AI agents, predictive assurance and automated remediation further support autonomous decision-making across distributed environments.
To help organisations adopt AI-native networking more easily, HPE Financial Services is offering financing solutions including zero-percent software financing and leasing programmes providing cost-equivalent savings while enabling upgrades and responsible removal of legacy equipment.
