To integrate Access Point Hardware and Aruba Networks (HPE) with your monitoring system, reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Access Point Hardware and Aruba Networks (HPE) and how that can support your monitoring system.
An Access Point (AP) can involve either a wired or wireless connection, which is why it is commonly referred to as a Wireless Access Point (WAP). It is a networking hardware device that allows other devices to connect to a wired network via Wi-Fi or wired connection.
One option for an AP is as a standalone device. In this case, the AP may have a wired connection to a router which then forwards data packets between computer networks.
In a wireless router, the AP can be an integral component of the router itself. It can be common for an AP that also acts as a switch, DHCP server, router and firewall. This is because it may also provide ports which are used to increase the network’s size, firewall capabilities and a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service.
Aruba Networks is a networking company and a subsidiary of HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprises). Aruba was established in 2002, and it was announced in 2015 that HPE would go ahead with the acquisition. Aruba has over 7000 employees in 7 regions worldwide. They offer many networking products much like the other big networking companies.
They are an industry leader in wired, wireless and security networking solutions. Aruba’s unified mobility networks significantly expand the reach of traditional port-centric networks. This securely delivers the enterprise network to users, whether they work or roam.

MetricFire is a full-scale platform that offers infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. The platform allows you to use either Prometheus- or Graphite-as-a-Service and have your metrics displayed on aesthetically-pleasing Grafana dashboards.
MetricFire offers its users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, which is made up of three of the most popular open-source monitoring software services: Prometheus, Graphite, and Grafana. As well, plugins for a number of other open-source projects are preconfigured, such as StatsD, collectd, and Kubernetes. You get all these within a hosted environment as a single product. Not only does MetricFire fit well into the infrastructure monitoring use-case, such as network monitoring and server monitoring, we also do application monitoring and business intelligence.
Through this hosted environment, MetricFire works to boost the unique features of the open source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance:
Cloud and on Premise Monitoring
Hosted Prometheus
Hosted Graphite
Grafana Dashboards
Whether to use Prometheus or Graphite is a great question. We’ve looked deeper into this decision in our blog article, Prometheus or Graphite. While Prometheus is a newer software that has a multidimensional data structure, Graphite is robust and sufficient. The key thing to remember is that Hosted Graphite by MetricFire is more than just Graphite. Our Hosted Graphite product actually adds data dimensionality and better data storage.
The benefits of MetricFire are:
No vendor lock-ins
MetricFire allows you to request for a full export at any time, because you will always own the data you input. You get all the benefits of an open-source tool with the stability and security of a SaaS tool.
Easy Budgeting
A structured pricing model allows you to save time and work within your budget. The predictability and transparent pricing allows you to keep your costs in check and plan for the future.
Transparency
MetricFire works transparently on all aspects of their operations of SaaS system monitoring. You can see their own internal system metrics at their public status page.
Robust Support
Technical support is provided by engineers for engineers, so you can expect detailed and relevant answers to your queries.
“We now have over ten times the amount of metrics we started with, and on different accounts. One of the great things about MetricFire is that scaling to support this increase has been hassle-free, requiring no additional work on our side.”
“Building and managing an on-premise installation at this scale would require a lot of engineer time, especially in the first year...we use this engineering time to work on initiatives closer to our core business”
“There’s complete transparency with everything MetricFire do which means we can accurately predict what we’ll be spending and comfortably keep within our budget.”
"Every time I have a question, I get an answer from support after just a couple of hours. Their technical knowledge is excellent.”
