"HPE was an early mover in identifying the opportunity at the edge and that trend is accelerating in a post-COVID world," said Antonio Neri, president and CEO of HPE. "With this acquisition we are accelerating our edge-to-cloud strategy to provide a true distributed cloud model and cloud experience for all apps and data wherever they live. Silver Peak's innovative team and technology bring critical capabilities that will help our customers modernize and transform their networks to securely connect any edge to any cloud."

"Bringing together Silver Peak's advanced SD-WAN solutions with Aruba's industry leading networking portfolio provides an unprecedented opportunity to deliver comprehensive business-driven solutions to our customers," said David Hughes, founder and CEO of Silver Peak.

"The Silver Peak and Aruba teams share a common vision and goal to provide simplicity, scalability, and application-awareness at the edge. With Aruba's extensive go-to-market, we will further accelerate our ability to drive faster adoption of these transformational technologies."

The combination of Aruba's all-in-one SD-Branch strategy and remote worker solutions with Silver Peak's SD-WAN and WAN optimization offerings will allow HPE to better address a greater set of customer requirements and capitalize on this market opportunity.

In 2018 HPE announced its strategic plan to invest $4 billion in Intelligent Edge over four years, and the company has been identifying opportunities to better help customers convert their data - from every edge to any cloud - into actionable insights that drive seamless interactions, while delivering simplified user and IT experiences.
