HPE Networking brands

HPE completed its acquisition of Juniper Networks on 2 July 2025 ("HPE closed its acquisition of Juniper Networks Inc. on July 2, 2025", HPE investor relations; confirmed in HPE's Form 10-Q for the quarter to 31 July 2026). HPE now sells the combined range as HPE Networking, and its UK site lists three brands:

Already running Aruba or Juniper kit? Staying with the platform you know usually saves the most, and HPE is bringing the two closer together (see below).

Subscriptions sold with HPE Networking hardware

  • HPE Aruba Networking Central: HPE says it "provides two primary subscription tiers: Foundation and Advanced", with separate gateway subscriptions. Advanced is "required to enable AI features such as Copilot". We confirm the tier and term for each switch and access point at quote.
  • HPE Mist access points: HPE calls the Wireless Assurance subscription (SUB-MAN) mandatory, one per access point, sold alone or in a bundle. HPE's FAQ says that if it lapses the devices "remain operational", but the management portal is disabled until renewal.
  • HPE Juniper Networking EX switches: the Standard tier ("basic Layer 2/3 features") is included; Advanced ("IGMP, OSPF, and VRF") and Premium ("BGP and IS-IS") licences and HPE Mist Wired Assurance are optional.
  • Juniper SRX firewalls: system part numbers include Junos Software Base or Enhanced; security subscriptions and Mist WAN Assurance are optional.
  • HPE Networking Instant On: managed with the Instant On app, with no Central or Mist subscription in our catalogue.

Each range page lists the subscription codes from HPE's price list beside the hardware, with Add buttons.

Aruba and Mist, together

HPE has started to let the two platforms manage each other's kit. Its "HPE Mist Supported Hardware" page (5 Nov 2026) lists the CX5420, CX6300 and CX6400 under "HPE Mist Wired Assurance — Supported CX Series Switches", running AOS-CX 10.18.1002 or later, and describes the AP-723H as "a dual-platform access point that supports both HPE Aruba Networking Central and HPE Mist". So a site with Aruba CX switches can still choose HPE Mist for its Wi-Fi.

If you are comparing HPE Mist with Cisco Meraki, see Meraki vs Juniper Mist (opens in a new tab) on our sister store.
