Data Center Portfolio

Mottram said Aruba is making investments to expand its data center portfolio.

Although the vendor’s CX switch series operates in both campus and data center environments, certain customers need advanced features for the data center. Those include support for MPLS and other protocols, Mottram said.

He said Aruba is investing money in 2023 as well as 2024 to fill out the data center portfolio.

“We think that’s a very sensible investment for the company to make. Because obviously, our customers are interested in it from a network perspective, and also we have some offers in the storage and compute space that should be able to use the same platform. So it’s a multifaceted investment from a company perspective,” Mottram said.
