HP plans to extend the features in each of its 3 solutions. The 3 solutions cover the main categories in SDN solution. In the SDN App Store there are additional applications that tend to fall into these same categories.
Protector is the HP Security SDN solution
Today Protector provides DNS reputation inspection with blocking and quarantine
The future for Protector is to add additional detection of security anomalies, as well as additional actions.
RESTful API to open quarantine and other reactions
Optimizer is currently focused on MS Lync. We plan to do deeper integration with MS Lync to add new UC&C features. Optimization has a wide range of use cases from Internet bandwidth control to Application QoS.
Visualizer is HP’s third application that uses SDN’s features to provide unprecedented visibility into network traffic.
Trending and historical data coupled with real-time packet capture covers a broad spectrum of network visibility options.

Except that Tunneled Node is not supported in 2620 and 2530
For older products, we will add ClearPass support only in:
5400 (v2)

There is no plan to support these features in 8200, 6600, 6200, 2910, 2915, 2615
What’s our strategy? Very simple: no license skus!
Now, customers can not only reduce their cost but completely avoid the hassle of procuring a license, auditing it, maintaining it in the networks.
From Gartner MQ report 2015 for Aruba Networks (Hewlett-Packard Enterprise)
In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) acquired Aruba Networks. The combination of HPE’s wired switching line with Aruba’s WLAN and mobility products creates a strong access solution. When measured by 2014 revenue, this deal combines the No. 2 campus switching vendor with the No. 2 WLAN vendor. However, as with any large acquisition, execution within the first 12 months is critical to success, and Aruba Networks (HPE) is faced with the daunting task of integrating and rationalizing multiple hardware, software and management product lines, and merging corporate cultures. We anticipate that new division will continue to leverage the HPE internal switching line, but will promote Aruba Network’s WLAN portfolio and ClearPass to be the flagship WLAN and policy management software, while Aruba’s AirWave and HPE’s IMC management applications will be merged. Clients globally should considered for Aruba Networks (HPE) for all wired/WLAN access layer opportunities.
Strengths
Gartner clients report a high degree of satisfaction with Aruba's ClearPass, which provides guest access, device profiling, posture assessment, onboarding and more.
Aruba’s FlexCampus switching provides a broad range of fixed-form and modular switches, and is aggressively priced with a lifetime warranty in deals that Gartner reviews.
Aruba’s management and service applications (ClearPass, IMC, Meridian and AirWave) support non-HP devices, which simplifies orchestration within multivendor environments.
Cautions
Aruba Networks (HPE) has yet to reveal a committed roadmap that includes post integration efforts for the combined Aruba Networks/HPE access layer portfolio. This increases the risk that customers could acquire a product that is not strategic to the new division.
Due to the acquisition, we anticipate continued changes in Aruba’s existing partner relationships. Organizations acquiring Aruba Networks via OEM partners (Dell, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, Brocade or Juniper), should consider moving their supply to Aruba Networks (HPE).
Customers that have recently purchased Aruba Network wired switches or legacy HPE wireless access points should request detailed support and migration plans.
