Webinar TL;DR | Supercharging AIOps with HPE Aruba Networking and ElastiFlow

Better Together - ElastiFlow and HPE Aruba Networking

Thank you to everyone who joined our recent webinar with HPE Aruba Networking, where we discussed critical advances in telemetry for XOps. In case you missed it or want a quick refresher, here are the top three takeaways in a little more detail:

1. Limitations of Traditional Telemetry

Legacy telemetry methods are struggling to keep pace with today's increasingly dynamic and complex data center environments. Typically, network teams rely on probes or agents that are not only costly and challenging to deploy but also fail to deliver complete visibility. These legacy solutions only capture a tiny fraction of the actual network traffic (sometimes as little as 1 in every 8,000 flows, or .0125% of all traffic, but who’s counting?) 

This limited sampling provides an incomplete view, complicating troubleshooting for network operations teams, obscuring security threats, and hindering efforts critical to XOps workflows. Moreover, sampled telemetry diminishes the effectiveness of modern AI and ML tools. Data is the new oil – the fuel – for AIOps and automation engines. Without complete data sets, insights generated by these advanced tools are incomplete or even misleading, reducing the effectiveness of network and security analytics.

2. The Role of DPUs in the Modern Data Center

Data Processing Units (DPUs) shift how telemetry is gathered and utilized. The HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 switch revolutionizes telemetry by embedding DPUs directly within data center switches. These integrated DPUs offload telemetry collection and service processing from primary network components, providing full-fidelity, non-sampled telemetry at scale.

With DPUs integrated into your network fabric, NetOps teams can now gather comprehensive telemetry directly from each network flow, offering unprecedented visibility without performance degradation. Security teams gain deeper insights into east-west traffic, helping detect anomalies and lateral threats faster. Meanwhile, DevOps teams benefit from enhanced telemetry data that empowers automation and accelerates deployment and troubleshooting cycles.

3. Real-World Use Cases & Demo

During our live demo, we showcased how ElastiFlow, paired with HPE’s CX 10000, delivers complete visibility and automation capabilities. ElastiFlow transforms raw telemetry into actionable insights, enabling rapid troubleshooting, proactive anomaly detection, and seamless collaboration across NetOps, SecOps, and DevOps. Real-world examples illustrated how enterprises can identify and mitigate risks in real-time, optimize performance, and simplify operations.

Ready for a Clearer Future?

By harnessing the power of comprehensive telemetry and AI-powered insights, organizations can move beyond the limitations of legacy solutions and unlock new levels of operational efficiency.
