HPE extends AI-driven Mist networking to SD-WAN and SASE

HPE has integrated its EdgeConnect suite—SD-WAN and SSE in a unified SASE offering—with the Mist AI platform and Marvis AI engine, letting IT teams manage Wi-Fi, campus switches, branches, WAN and cloud security as one environment. Mist support for EdgeConnect arrives this year, with an Aruba Central option in 2027.

• Mist and Marvis collect telemetry from routers, switches, access points and firewalls
• Marvis Actions identifies network issues and recommends remediation steps
• EdgeConnect support in Mist lands this year, in Aruba Central in 2027
• It competes with SD-WAN offerings from Cisco, Fortinet and Cato
