Hewlett Packard (HPE) Expands Bethesda's Networking System

Hewlett Packard Enterprise HPE announced that it has enhanced Bethesda Health Group’s networking infrastructure by implementing HPE Aruba Networking Security Service Edge. The enhancement will help Bethesda offer continuous support across its residential communities throughout the day and via in-home services.

Bethesda started transitioning from Cisco Systems CSCO networking infrastructure to HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN through the hands of InterVision. The healthcare provider migrated to HPE’s networking system to gain from the centrally managed and high-performance WAN that CSCO’s Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) was unable to deliver.

Cisco IOS MPLS is an easy-to-set-up networking solution that integrates with the client’s existing setups without requiring major changes. The solution can easily integrate with a customer's IP, frame relay, ATM, or ethernet. However, Bethesda eventually moved from this traditional system and adopted HPE’s multiple solutions, which include Wi-Fi access points for wireless connectivity, CX series switches for wired networking, Aruba Networking Central and ClearPass. The new networking solution has been added to the preexisting HPE networking infrastructure that Bethesda is already using.
