HPE Aruba Networking Private Edge is one of the connector's services, which brokers ZTNA connections to on-premise applications.

Private Edge provides the same service as SSE PoPs, and enables the SSE Agents to connect to on-premise applications directly through the SSE Connector, without being routed through the SSE PoPs.

The HPE Aruba Networking Private Edge is as secure as the SSE PoPs, but does not offer the same level of visibility.

Regular ZTNA Architecture

Traffic is routed from the SSE Agent to the on-premise application through the SSE PoPs.

Private Edge Architecture

Using the Private Edge, traffic is routed directly from the SSE Agent to the on-premise application through the SSE Connector.

Common Use-Cases for HPE Aruba Networking Private Edge

• Traffic stays on network - no need to hairpin to public PoPs.
• Providing a better user experience by reducing latency for on-premises traffic.
• Providing support for thick-client based applications running on-premises or in private clouds (including AS400 apps, etc.) - no site-to-site VPN required.
• Comply with regulations that mandate use of on-premises security software (I.e., due to natural disasters, or unstable Internet connectivity).
