Manufacturing

Yes. Ruggedized and short-depth HPE ProLiant edge servers run inference and analytics next to the equipment that generates the data, so machine-vision quality checks and predictive-maintenance models act in real time without a round trip to the cloud. Results roll up to a central data center, HPE GreenLake, or the public cloud for fleet-wide trending. This keeps latency low and keeps the line running even when the WAN link is degraded.

HPE Aruba Networking enforces identity-based microsegmentation so operational systems like PLCs, HMIs, and robotics sit in their own policy-isolated zones, separate from corporate IT and IoT traffic. ClearPass profiles and authenticates devices, including unmanaged OT endpoints that can't run an agent, and applies role-based access aligned to the Purdue model and IEC 62443. Policies are layered onto the existing network in stages, so you tighten segmentation without re-cabling the plant or taking the line down.

HPE Aruba Networking SD-WAN (EdgeConnect) connects distributed plants, warehouses, and remote sites with application-aware routing over any transport, so production and ERP traffic get priority and branches reach SaaS and cloud directly instead of backhauling everything to one data center. Central provides cloud-based management and zero-touch provisioning, so a new site comes online without sending a network engineer on-site. Built-in security functions let you converge SD-WAN and segmentation into a single SASE-style fabric.

Edge compute collects vibration, temperature, and current telemetry from machines and runs predictive-maintenance models locally, flagging bearing wear or motor faults before they cause a stoppage. HPE storage and data-pipeline tooling aggregate that signal across the fleet so reliability teams can plan maintenance during scheduled windows instead of reacting to failures. Pairing it with resilient networking means a single link or device failure doesn't cascade into a line-down event.

Uniqcli is an authorized HPE and HPE Aruba Networking partner, and the ProLiant compute and Aruba networking we quote are TAA-compliant and available through GSA, SAP/FAR channels, and GPC vehicles. That matters for manufacturers in defense and federal supply chains who must show country-of-origin compliance. We can structure the purchase as a capital buy or as pay-per-use capacity through HPE GreenLake so plant-floor refreshes fit operational rather than capital budgets.

We phase the refresh so production and safety systems stay untouched while we modernize the compute and network layers around them. New Aruba switching and ProLiant edge nodes are deployed alongside existing equipment, validated, then cut over during planned maintenance windows, and segmentation policy is migrated incrementally rather than in a single risky change. HPE GreenLake can also smooth the refresh into a consumption model so you avoid a large one-time forklift upgrade across every site at once.
