Student & Staff Experience by Design: Building an AI‑Native campus network with HPE Networking

presented by HPE (opens in new tab) and the University of Canterbury

 

With Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s completed acquisition of Juniper Networks, HPE Networking has emerged as a materially different networking vendor, not simply broader, but structurally re‑architected around AI‑native operations, full‑stack networking IP, and hybrid cloud integration. 

This moment creates a clear opportunity to reset market understanding, particularly in higher education where campus scale, research demands, security posture, and funding pressure collide.

To bring this to life, the University of Canterbury will join us to share their real‑world IT networking journey with HPE, highlighting the challenges they faced, the outcomes achieved, and the lessons learned while modernising their campus network to support teaching, research, and digital innovation.
