"Aruba's ESP solution, a next-generation, cloud-native architecture, helps organizations to hasten the digital journey"

In a chat with VARINDIA, Raunak Jagasia, Director Enterprise Business and Alliance, Savex Technologies discusses about opportunities in the network security segment, network edge bringing opportunity to partners and VARS, adoption of edge to Cloud technology and much more

How do Savex Technologies foresee opportunities in network security in the country?

With the shift to a hybrid workspace, the organization's security playground has moved from the safe confines of the workspace to the absolute edge - the home of the worker. Also with people accessing systems from multiple devices and apps, the traditional security architecture is no longer relevant. Public cloud, private cloud, on-prem - the sheer options available for organizational networks today means new requirements for network security.

The “enemy” has too many options now and only the paranoid will survive. Unfortunately security is like insurance, one only realizes the importance after the fact. We at Savex see a huge opportunity for the channel and ourselves to help organizations move the battle to the edge along with Aruba.

How are the latest innovations from Aruba on Network Edge able to bring momentum in the partner and VAR communities?

Aruba technology gives us the ability to proactively manage the entire network from one centralized location, making it easier to diagnose and solve problems.

Aruba’s leading Edge Technology and as-a-service offerings have helped drive efficiency, financial flexibility, and enabled partners to stay connected with the latest network technologies.

Aruba ESP is a next-generation, cloud-native architecture that enables organizations to accelerate digital business transformation through automated network management, edge-to-cloud security, and predictive AI-powered insights.

We have been early adopters of Aruba Technology and are proud that our entire network runs on Aruba – switching, routing and SD-WAN.

How is Aruba adding value to its partners by offering Network-as-a-Service?

NaaS is becoming a top priority for organizations around the world. Aruba’s Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) provides the hardware, software and services based on its subscription model. Demand for NaaS is accelerating, driven by shorter planning cycles and network management concerns. IDC has published its findings and key takeaways from its global survey of over 1,000 IT leaders in 11 countries on NaaS adoption trends. NaaS allows organizations to outsource the provisioning, deployment, network management, maintenance, and lifecycle management of network infrastructure. For partners who have been trying to make the jump into managed services, cloud-based services, remote solutions and business continuity, Aruba’s offerings will help start the conversation with their customers.

Aruba is ahead of the curve versus competition and we are keen to jointly shape this move in customer mindset. We believe that customers will soon want everything as a service only and own only absolutely mission critical assets.

Kindly share your experience on how the latest innovations from Aruba are helping your business to grow?

Aruba with its solution offerings can help organizations face new IT challenges. Aruba’s ESP solution, a next-generation, cloud-native architecture, helps organizations to hasten the digital journey. The continuous innovation on the software stack which helps productivity, boost efficiency and make the network run seamlessly is a must have for any organisation going forward as most companies will be competing in the quality of their digital infrastructure and Aruba is very well poised to solve a lot of emerging customer needs.

The new offerings from Silver Peak will have a huge impact on the best-in-class digital offerings of tomorrow and just like hyper-converged in the data center, will lead to consolidation and simplification in the network architecture for organisations.

How do you see the adoption of edge to cloud technology among organizations?

The Aruba program equips partners with the skills, tools, and support needed to expertly deliver solutions for the edge-to-cloud in an as-a-service model. Every organisation is moving to an edge to cloud architecture and Aruba being as strong as the edge, has the best in class solutions to help customers with this journey.
