Course Overview
This course provides aspiring professional-level architects with the skills needed to design an HPE Aruba Networking Campus Access solution and support the implementation team in executing the design. It also prepares learners to articulate the business value of HPE Aruba Networking solutions to various stakeholders. An architect is an IT professional skilled in interpreting technical requirements and designing secure, scalable, resilient, and highperforming infrastructures aligned with validated solution guides and business needs. They are capable of analyzing complex requirements and constraints to create optimal solutions, demonstrating how the solutions meet both technical and business goals, and defending the proposed solutions. Architects require extensive technical knowledge of the products and solutions, including migration and deployment strategies for existing architectures. They must also understand the impact of third-party hardware and software interoperability on solution design. Additionally, learners bring experience in building solutions and optimizing applications and workloads to meet organizational objectives.
