David Hughes, SVP and GM, SASE & Security at HPE, discusses the convergence of networking and security through agentic AI that can autonomously troubleshoot issues, identify root causes, and implement remediation while leveraging data lakes with anonymized telemetry from millions of devices to detect anomalous behavior and zero-day threats. He emphasizes the importance of using networks as both sensors and enforcement points for cybersecurity defense, predicting that within a couple of years customers will trust AI to make autonomous network configuration changes due to its explainable and transparent reasoning capabilities.

Andrew Border, VP Product Management, Telco Solutions at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, showcases their private 5G solution that integrates AET's software core and complements Wi-Fi in challenging environments like stadiums and hospitals. Through Aruba Central, the solution enables seamless management of both Wi-Fi and private 5G networks, making it easier for administrators to implement private 5G networking in North America.

Mahesh Subramaniam, Sr. Director of Product Management at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, demonstrates the Ultra Ethernet Consortium specification implementation at the OCP Innovation Village, showcasing advanced networking technologies for AI data centers. The demonstration features Hewlett Packard Enterprise's QFX 50240 switches handling both Ultra Ethernet Transport and RoCE v2 traffic simultaneously, along with an advanced packet trimming feature for congestion management.

Amit Sanyal, Senior Director, Data Center Product Marketing at HPE, presents the company's AI native networking solutions at OCP, which are designed from the ground up to solve operational challenges and optimize networking performance for AI applications. HPE showcases key innovations including liquid cooled switches, UltraEthernet consortium solutions with packet trimming capabilities, and support for OCP-specified OB3 racks, reinforcing the company's commitment to open networking solutions purpose-built for AI.

If you think you know AI-in-Networking, think again. It's changing fast. Here is HPE's Larry Lunetta on new capabilities like built-in Network Detection and Response, third-party observability integration, and Gen Search capability, all powered by their extensive integrated networking data lake.

David Hughes, Chief Product Officer at HPE Aruba Networking, highlights the potential of NaaS to transform business operations, emphasizing its adaptability to customer needs and the role of partners in scaling NaaS solutions. Hughes predicts that the NaaS market will grow as barriers are removed, overcoming the idea of NaaS being relevant only for greenfield deployments.

Andrew Border, VP Product Management of Telco Solutions at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, has announced the launch of Telco Core Automation, a new product that uses AI to automate and simplify operations in multicloud, multivendor, multi-domain public 5G network buildouts. The product aims to accelerate service delivery to the market, transforming basic operations of a 5G network and enabling a faster time to market with new services.

Jaye Tillson, SD-WAN & Field CTO from Hewlett Packard Enterprise, provides guidance around the importance and benefits of unified SASE from a single vendor. He reminds customers that not all SDWAN vendors are equal, and explains how to differentiate between them.

5G will become for the enterprise what 4G was for the consumer. However, this requires a redesign of the core and radio access networks. In this video, Ignacio García-Carrillo, Telco Infrastructure Pre-Sales Leader at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, talks about why the infrastructure matters in an open RAN deployment and how Telcos can succeed in open RAN with HPE’s Open RAN infrastructure approach.
