HPE Aruba Networking Portfolio — India

Ogma supplies and deploys the complete HPE networking portfolio — from campus access switching to data centre fabric, wireless LAN, and SD-Branch.

Aruba CX Switches — Campus Access & Core

Aruba CX series runs AOS-CX — a modern, programmable NOS with REST API, Python automation, and VSX (Virtual Switching Extension) for HA. CX 6300 for campus access (1/10G PoE), CX 6400 for core/distribution, CX 8325 for DC/core at 25/100G. Direct replacement for Cisco Catalyst in most campus designs.

Aruba WiFi 6 / 6E Access Points

Aruba 530 Series (WiFi 6) and 630 Series (WiFi 6E, 6 GHz band) access points — delivering the highest wireless density and throughput for campus environments. AI-powered client match and radio resource management optimize performance automatically. Managed by Aruba Central or on-premises Aruba Mobility Conductor.

HPE FlexFabric — Data Centre Networking

HPE FlexFabric 5940 and 5950 series for data centre top-of-rack and spine switching — 1/10/25/100G with IRF (Intelligent Resilient Framework) stacking. Integrated with HPE Synergy composable infrastructure and HPE Alletra storage fabrics. Supports VXLAN and EVPN for modern DC overlay architectures.

Aruba SD-Branch

Aruba SD-Branch converges WAN, switching, and WiFi into a single managed solution for branch offices — replacing the traditional stack of router + switch + AP with Aruba's integrated branch architecture managed from Aruba Central. Zero-touch provisioning for rapid branch rollouts.

Aruba Central — Cloud Management

Aruba Central is a cloud-native management platform that unifies control of Aruba switches, APs, and SD-Branch gateways from a single dashboard. AI-powered insights detect network anomalies, predict failures, and optimize configuration. Multi-tenant for MSPs and multi-site for enterprise. Available as subscription.

Aruba ClearPass — Network Access Control

Aruba ClearPass (CPPM) provides role-based network access control — authenticating wired and wireless users/devices, assigning VLAN and policy based on identity, device posture, and time-of-day. DPDPA-aligned guest access management and BYOD onboarding included.

Aruba CX vs Cisco Catalyst — India Campus Design

Many Indian enterprises are evaluating Aruba CX as a replacement for Cisco Catalyst when Catalyst goes end-of-life. Here's how Aruba CX compares.

Factor Cisco Catalyst Aruba CX (AOS-CX)
Operating System Cisco IOS-XE (aging) ✔ AOS-CX — modern, Python-native
API support Limited — RESTCONF only ✔ Full REST API — built for automation
Management On-prem DNA Center (expensive) ✔ Aruba Central — cloud, subscription
HA architecture VSS (complex) ✔ VSX — simpler, stateful
PoE budget Standard ✔ Higher — better for dense WiFi
India pricing Higher list price ✔ Competitive — often 20–30% lower
Aruba Central vs DNA DNA Center is on-premises ✔ Aruba Central is cloud-native SaaS
Bundle with HPE servers No native integration ✔ HPE Synergy + Aruba native bundle

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Indian enterprises buying HPE Aruba networking.

Yes — and this is one of Ogma's most common networking projects. Aruba CX uses standard IEEE protocols (802.1Q, LACP, OSPF, BGP, VXLAN) and supports migration from Cisco IOS-XE configurations with script-based conversion tools. Ogma designs the migration with a phased approach — replacing access layer switches while keeping the core stable, then migrating core/distribution switches once access is validated. VSX HA (equivalent to Cisco VSS) ensures zero-downtime switchover at the core during migration.

WiFi 6 (802.11ax) operates on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. WiFi 6E adds the 6 GHz band — providing 1200 MHz of additional clean spectrum with no interference from legacy devices. In high-density environments (conference rooms, auditoriums, manufacturing floors), WiFi 6E's 6 GHz band delivers significantly higher throughput and lower latency. Aruba 630 Series (WiFi 6E) is recommended for new campus deployments; Aruba 530 Series (WiFi 6) suits standard density deployments where 6 GHz client devices are not yet widespread.

Aruba Central is the cloud management plane — switches and APs continue to forward traffic normally if the cloud connection is interrupted (this is called 'offline resilience'). Only management functions (configuration changes, monitoring, alerts) require the cloud connection. For organizations with strict internet egress controls, Ogma configures firewall rules to allow only the specific Aruba Central cloud endpoints, rather than broad internet access from network infrastructure.

Yes. Ogma supplies complete rack solutions — HPE ProLiant servers, HPE storage (Alletra/MSA), and Aruba networking (switches + APs) — from a single authorized HPE partner. Combined orders often qualify for HPE bundle pricing and simplify the procurement process (single vendor, single invoice, single AMC contract). Ogma also designs the server-storage-network integration — including NIC bonding, storage fabric design, and vSwitch configuration.

Yes. Ogma provides post-warranty AMC for HPE Aruba switches, access points, and ClearPass appliances — with hardware replacement SLAs, firmware management, and 24x7 technical support. Post-warranty AMC through Ogma is typically 40–60% less than HPE Pointnext Care Pack renewal, making it economically attractive for organizations with aging Aruba infrastructure. Ogma also provides EOSL support for discontinued Aruba models (2530, 2930F, etc.).
