Dozens of features are introduced to HPE Aruba Networking Central every month and a definitive list can always be found in our release notes. Highlighted feature updates for August focus on purpose-built AI and intuitive Streamlined firmware management observability – core pillars of the Central experience.
- Streamlined firmware management - Accessed through AI Insights card, our improved firmware recommender provides a centralized dashboard to create and manage firmware policies, monitor upgrade status in real time, and ensure version compliance at scale. Flexible scheduling and upgrade options help reduce manual effort and minimize operational disruption.

Combined with flexible filters by role, permission, app type, or server location, this helps IT teams troubleshoot issues more effectively and identify usage trends with greater precision.
