Gateways and controllers

Take control of growing network demands

Overcome complex network challenges

With more devices than ever connecting to corporate networks, many network administrators are struggling to keep up with increasing traffic, data and security demands. Existing management tools are often diverged, meaning network administrators are forced to control and optimise their network with separate software tools –– making the whole process too complicated and inefficient.

Aruba’s portfolio of gateways and controllers combine monitoring, automated route orchestration and security management in a unified, on-premises or cloud-based management appliance. This helps network administrators regain control, simplify network operations and improve the end-user experience.

Enhance network management and performance with Aruba gateways

Aruba 9000 Series Gateways provide high-performance networking, SD-WAN and security functionality in a range of compact and cost-effective form factors. Perfect for branch and small campus networks, the 9000 Series Gateways increase your customers’ ability to efficiently manage routing traffic across their network by unifying WLAN, LAN, and SD-WAN connections and providing role-based security provisions.

The 9000 Series provides connectivity for up to 2,048 users or client devices at up to 6 Gbps of firewall throughput (model dependent). These capabilities offer up to 80 times the client density and 10 times the maximum throughput of typical SD-WAN appliances.

The gateways can be easily configured and managed using Aruba Central, a cloud-based network operations, assurance and security platform. Onsite deployment is accomplished with a simple mobile installer application. And, thanks to ClearPass Policy Manager and ClearPass Device Insight compatibility, your customers can benefit from advanced user, device and IoT policy management and insights.

Centralise control with Aruba controllers

Aruba mobility controllers are designed to enhance mid- to large-sized campus WLAN performance by centralising control for all Aruba access points (APs). Enhanced AP utilisation, security, and client roaming all combine to help your customers deliver a seamless network experience. They are easily deployed using Zero Touch Provisioning and provide Aruba’s Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) to enforce security policies based on user role, device type, application, and network location.

With reliable, high-performance connectivity for up to 32,728 concurrent users or client devices and 2,048 access points (model dependent), Aruba mobility controllers offer unparalleled availability. They use AI-powered algorithms to provide radio frequency (RF) optimisations which improve end-user experiences and network health. They correct for noisy or congested RFs and resolve sticky client issues during user roaming, which helps to deliver uninterrupted mission-critical networking in the most demanding environments.
