description: HPE Aruba Networking is the networking business unit of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE HPE), born of
  Aruba Networks (founded 2002, acquired by HPE in 2015) and reinforced by the acquisitions of Silver Peak (SD-WAN,
  2020), Axis Security (SSE, 2023), and Pensando (data processing units / smart switches, 2022). Its portfolio
  covers campus and branch Wi-Fi, AOS-CX and AOS-Switch data-center and campus switching, the Aruba Central cloud
  management plane, ClearPass network access control, EdgeConnect SD-WAN, the HPE Aruba Networking SSE cloud
  security service, the User Experience Insight synthetic-monitoring sensors, and the HPE Aruba Networking Fabric
  Composer data-center fabric controller. Aruba is one of the most API-first vendors in enterprise networking — its
  developer hub publishes REST, streaming, and webhook documentation; its GitHub org carries 50+ public repositories
  including Python SDKs (pycentral, pyaoscx, pyclearpass, pyedgeconnect, pyafc, pyhpeuxi, pyhpesse), a Go SDK
  (aoscxgo), Ansible collections, a Terraform provider, the Network Analytics Engine script library, and the YANG
  models that back AOS-CX.
