Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN
One secure WAN edge that connects every branch to the cloud, your way
Overview
Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN brings SD-WAN, next-generation firewall, routing, and WAN optimization together in a single platform you manage from the cloud. It gives distributed teams fast, reliable access to apps in the data center or any cloud, while building the foundation for a single-vendor SASE architecture. The result is a leaner branch footprint, stronger security, and lower WAN costs.
Why Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN
Consolidate the branch stack
A built-in next-generation firewall with IDS/IPS and role-based segmentation lets you retire separate branch firewalls and routers, shrinking hardware and cutting recurring costs.
Zero Trust at every edge
Enforce identity-based, end-to-end segmentation across the LAN and WAN so users and devices only reach what they're cleared for, reducing the blast radius of any breach.
Reliable application performance
Dynamic path steering and path conditioning route traffic over the best available link in real time, keeping voice, video, and SaaS apps responsive even when a circuit degrades.
Simpler multi-cloud connectivity
Automate secure connections to AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and leading SaaS providers, extending consistent performance and policy from the branch to the cloud.
Built-in DDoS protection
Adaptive DDoS defense uses machine learning to adjust thresholds on the fly, shielding branch offices from volumetric attacks without manual tuning.
Central cloud orchestration
Manage the entire fabric from HPE Aruba Networking Central with automation and visibility across wired, wireless, and SD-WAN, so changes roll out fast and stay consistent.

Where it fits
Frequently asked
What does Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN replace in the branch?
It combines SD-WAN, a next-generation firewall, routing, and WAN optimization in one platform, so you can retire standalone branch firewalls and routers. That means less hardware to buy, manage, and maintain at every site.
How does it improve application performance?
It continuously measures link quality and steers each application over the best available path, with path conditioning to overcome packet loss and jitter. Apps stay fast and available whether they live in the data center or the cloud.
Is it a fit for a SASE strategy?
Yes. EdgeConnect SD-WAN is designed as the secure networking foundation for a single-vendor SASE architecture, pairing with cloud-delivered security services like SSE for unified policy.
Which gateway model should I choose?
Models scale by WAN bandwidth, from the 10104 for small branches at up to 500 Mbps to the 10150 for data centers at up to 12 Gbps. Sizing depends on your site's bandwidth and number of users, and we can help match the right model.
How is the platform managed?
The fabric is orchestrated centrally from HPE Aruba Networking Central, a cloud-native console that automates configuration and gives you visibility across wired, wireless, and SD-WAN from one place.
