PeoPle Move. Networks Must Follow.®

Aruba Networks® is the leading provider of next-generation enterprise mobility infrastructures.

The company’s Mobile Virtual Enterprise (MOVE) architecture unifies all things mobility – network access, the network infrastructure and applications – into one cohesive and manageable system that strengthens security and simplifies bring-your-own-device initiatives.

MOVE is software-centric so it can adapt to the dynamics of mobility. This enables IT to manage traffic flows on any wired, wireless and remote network and control how devices and work applications are used.

Whether away or at work, MOVE gives users consistent, secure access to the appropriate corporate resources based on who they are, where they are and what device they’re using.

The result is a rightsized network infrastructure that saves IT time, reduces capital and operating expenses, speeds-up service delivery, and provides every user with the highest-quality mobility experience.

Product Overview

Wireless LANs

Access Points

Based on the 802.11ac standard, Aruba APs deliver secure Wi-Fi client access to a variety of indoor and outdoor enterprise WLAN environments. These versatile, high-performance APs can be centrally managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers or deployed in controllerless Aruba Instant™ mode.

In controllerless Aruba Instant mode, a dynamically elected AP automatically distributes the network configuration to other Aruba Instant APs in the WLAN. Simply power-up one Instant AP, configure it over the air, and plug in the other APs – the entire process takes about five minutes.

When managed by Mobility Controllers, Aruba APs offer centralized configuration, data encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as distributed and centralized traffic forwarding.

Aruba APs are available with single- and dual-radios to meet the most challenging security, client performance and density requirements with capabilities such as:

•ClientMatch technology that ensures mobile devices roam efficiently by steering them to the best AP and radio on the WLAN.

•ARM™ technology that ensures Aruba APs stay clear of interference, resulting in a more reliable, higher performance WLAN.

• Integrated wireless security that identifies and mitigates wireless threats and intrusions by rogue devices.

• Integrated spectrum analysis that identifies sources of RF interference and eliminates the need for handheld spectrum monitors with multiple management servers, new APs and dedicated sensors.

Mobility Controllers

Aruba Mobility Controllers create a single, unified network that manages wired and wireless access across indoor, outdoor and remote locations.

Aware of all network devices, users, applications and locations, Mobility Controllers run the ArubaOS™ operating system and also maintain configurations and automate software updates for other Aruba Mobility Controllers, Mobility Access Switches and access points (APs) based on the 802.11ac standard.

With the ArubaOS operating system, Aruba Mobility Controllers perform security and system administration, as well as hardware-based routing, switching and data encryption. ArubaOS supports additional software modules including the Policy Enforcement Firewall™ with AppRF technology, RFProtect™ with Spectrum Analysis and Wireless Intrusion Protection, Advanced Cryptography with military-grade Suite B encryption, and xSec™ advanced Layer 2 encryption.

Wired Networks

Mobility Access Switches

Aruba Mobility Access Switches enable secure, role-based network access for wired users and devices, independent of their location or application. It’s the only wired network solution designed for today’s mobile enterprise workforce.

Installed in the wiring closet or at branch offices, Mobility Access Switches deliver wire-speed Gigabit Ethernet switching and operate as high-performance wired APs when deployed with Aruba Mobility Controllers.

As wired APs, users and their devices are authenticated and assigned a unique role by the Mobility Controller. These roles are consistently applied whether the user is a Wi-Fi client, or connects to a port on the Mobility Access Switch. This eliminates the need to manage and provision separate wireless and wired access policies.

Remote Network Access

Remote Access Points (RAPs)

Ideal for branch offices and home teleworkers, single- and dual-radio RAPs feature wired and wireless network access, zero-touch provisioning, role-based access control, policy-based forwarding, air monitoring, and wireless intrusion protection.

Virtual Intranet Access (VIA)

VIA™ client software provides secure Wi-Fi connectivity for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows mobile devices and laptops. Unlike legacy VPNs, VIA chooses the best enterprise network connection and configures mobile device settings to ensure a simple, zero-touch wireless experience.

Outdoor Wireless LANs

Outdoor Wireless Mesh Routers

Aruba AirMesh outdoor wireless mesh routers are deployed where wired connectivity is impractical or unavailable. They combine a high-performance multi-radio architecture and intelligent Layer 3 routing for greater reliability and scalability.

The result is a high-capacity, multiservice mesh network that is optimized for multimedia applications in municipal, public safety and industrial deployments.

Aruba AirMesh includes ruggedized single-, dual- and quad-radio mesh routers that deliver fiber-like capacity – up to 300 Mbps per radio. Each radio can be configured for Wi-Fi access or mesh backhaul while operating in multiple frequencies for optimal performance and sustained throughput over multiple hops.

Network Access and Management

ClearPass Access Management

The Aruba ClearPass Access Management System™ with its unique WorkSpace capabilities integrates every critical aspect of BYOD – network access control (NAC), mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM) – into a single platform that can be deployed with any network.

ClearPass also simplifies the provisioning of guest network access, allowing employees to create accounts for their own guests or visitors to self-register. Account credentials are sent to guests via text message and can be set to expire automatically. ClearPass offers visibility into all guest access activities, making it easy to audit network usage and meet compliance mandates.

AirWave Network Management

AirWave offers the end-to-end clarity and control over mobile users on multivendor, multisite networks. It includes user location and mapping capabilities, real-time monitoring, proactive alerts, historical reporting, and troubleshooting.

Mobile Application Infrastructure

WorkSpace Mobile App

The WorkSpace mobile app enables users to onboard their own devices, organize work apps, share AirPrint and AirPlay devices, and provision guest network access. Users can even view app policy status, access an enterprise app store, and get a single sign-on for work apps.

Meridian Location Services

Meridian-powered custom and consumer mobile apps leverage location over Wi-Fi information to deliver indoor GPS services to casinos, hospitals and large public venues. Many retailers and resort hotels use Meridian to engage customers with targeted location-based messaging.
