Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has been recognized by Gartner as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SD-WAN, marking the seventh consecutive year the company has held this position. HPE has also earned the title of Customers’ Choice in the 2024 Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer for SD-WAN.
The Magic Quadrant report evaluates vendors based on two key criteria: Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. It provides a summary and assessment of each vendor’s strengths and cautions.
David Hughes, Chief Product Officer of HPE Aruba Networking, stated, “We’re proud to offer customers secure SD-WAN capabilities as part of our AI-powered SASE platform, addressing modern security needs against evolving threats. Being named a Leader for seven years reinforces our position to deliver innovative performance optimization, cloud onramp, and integrated security capabilities, establishing a unified SASE architecture.”
In 2023, HPE strengthened its SD-WAN leadership by acquiring Axis Security, a cloud security provider. The combination of EdgeConnect SD-WAN and HPE Aruba Networking SSE offers a single-vendor SASE solution, meeting the growing demand for integrated networking and security delivered as-a-service.
The Magic Quadrant report, formerly known as the Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge Infrastructure, highlights HPE’s legacy, including the recognition of Silver Peak, acquired by HPE in 2020, as a Leader in previous reports.
