I have some very hot news for you today.
as soon as The newly updated HPE Aruba Networking product catalog for 2026no see!

2 years ago 2024 CatalogCompared to the past, I realized once again that the speed of technological advancement is truly frightening.
In particular, this 2026 catalog goes beyond a simple product lineup update and reveals the direction of integrated HPE Networking.

We'll highlight what's changed in the 2026 catalog and highlight key points to keep in mind.


1. "AI Beyond AI" – Transforming the Operator Experience

While the 2024 catalog emphasized the adoption of AI through the AI-powered Edge Services Platform (ESP), the 2026 catalog goes into a different depth.

  • Full-scale introduction of generative AI (GenAI): Beyond simply detecting problems, generative AI directly assists with troubleshooting and autonomous network operation.
  • Agentic AI & Digital Twin: Agentic AI and digital twin technology are applied to optimize the network, maximizing the user experience.
  • Large-Scale Empirical Model (LEM): A new concept called 'LEM' has emerged to ensure the performance of applications and focuses on optimizing app performance.

2. Hardware Evolution: The Era of Wi-Fi 7 and 800G

There have also been notable changes in the hardware specifications that form the basis of the network.

  • Wi-Fi 7 access pointWi-Fi 7, initially introduced in the 2024 catalog as an early model (such as the AP-730 series), has now become a mainstream product line. The lineup has been expanded with models like the cost-effective AP-720 and AP-740 to meet customer needs.
  • Optimized for 800G and AI Workloads: 800G interface support has been specified for data centers and core switching areas, a crucial evolution to handle increasingly large AI workloads.
  • CX Switch Lineup Expansion: The 2026 catalog includes a new modular switch, the CX 5420 series, as well as new products in the CX6300M and CX8325 series, expanding your network building options.

3. Completing Security and Integration: Unified SASE and SSE

On the security front, the slogan "The Secure AI-Native Networking" has become even more robust.

  • Unified SASE Platform: The Unified SASE platform, which combines SD-WAN and Security Service Edge (SSE), is further emphasized. It clearly demonstrates the business value of managing all security functions, including ZTNA, SWG, CASB, and DEM, on a single platform.
  • HPE GreenLake Integration: The 2026 catalog will feature increased emphasis on integration with the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform and the As-a-Service model, supporting a complete transition to a cloud operating model.

If you have been thinking about 'how to integrate AI into networks', 2026 is the year when AI becomes part of the network and operates autonomously.It heralds the dawn of a new era. In particular, the popularization of Wi-Fi 7, 800G-class performance, and generative AI-based management tools will provide network operators with a whole new level of convenience.
