The Gartner report evaluated SD-WAN vendors based on their Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute, providing an analysis of each vendor’s strengths and areas of caution. HPE’s continued leadership in this space is attributed to its AI-powered SASE platform, which delivers secure SD-WAN capabilities to meet the evolving security demands of modern networks.
David Hughes, Chief Product Officer of HPE Aruba Networking, highlighted that it’s consistent recognition affirms its strong market position in offering performance optimization, cloud connectivity, and integrated security to support users and devices while laying the foundation for unified SASE architecture.

This acquisition, along with the integration of EdgeConnect SD-WAN and HPE Aruba Networking SSE, enhances it’s edge-to-cloud security offering and provides a comprehensive, single-vendor SASE solution for businesses.
The company has been recognized in Gartner’s reports since 2020, when it acquired Silver Peak, a previous leader in SD-WAN technology. The company continues to innovate and grow its presence in the secure networking market, driven by its ongoing commitment to delivering flexible and integrated solutions as a service.
