firefighting, constantly dealing with these emergencies instead of focusing on proactive strategic initiatives.
- Graph databases capture and maintain information about the relationships among the nodes in the network.
We understand the correlations among all the disparate data coming in.
- One of the key insights that the Mist team had early on was that they linked the people in tech support to the data scientists.
Ben Baker, director of data center networking at HPE, speaks with theCUBE's Bob Laliberte about HPE's vision for self-driven networking. UPDATED 12:53 EDT / JULY 29 2026 AI HPE advances its self-driving networking strategy for the AI era by Devony Hof Hewlett Packard Enterprise is making networking central to its AI infrastructure strategy, with a vision for self-driving networks that can anticipate problems, automate operations and reduce the complexity facing enterprise IT teams. AI models and agents are placing new demands on enterprise networking as organizations move larger volumes of data between compute, storage and distributed infrastructure.
Without sufficient bandwidth, visibility and automation, network bottlenecks can increase latency, disrupt applications and diminish the user experience. "The fundamental problem underlying the challenges we have in operating data center networks is ... complexity," said Ben Baker (pictured), director of data center networking at HPE.
"You got virtual networks, [VXLAN Tunnel Endpoints], alphabet soup of protocols, configurations of thousands of physical and logical devices ... We see operators drowning in data but starved for insights.
