HPE Aruba Networking MCR‑HW‑5K Mobility Conductor Hardware Appliance Support for upto 5K Devices

Mission-critical Networking

The HPE Aruba Networking Hardware Mobility Conductor Series deliver seamless roaming, enhanced security, and live upgrades, eliminating the need for planned maintenance windows or downtime.

Increases scale by joining HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Controllers to a controller cluster, improves reliability using enhanced high availability (HA), and adopts configurations seamlessly based on hierarchy.

Reduces maintenance windows by enabling live upgrades.

Enhanced Performance and Security

HPE Aruba Networking AirMatch automates network-wide RF channels, channel width, and transmits power to optimize the highest density environments.

Seamless Layer 2 and Layer 3 roaming enables users to roam between floors, buildings or across the entire network without any re-authentication, change to their IP address, or loss of firewall state.

User sessions and access point traffic are load-balanced within a controller cluster managed by the Hardware Mobility Conductor Series. This optimizes network utilization during peak periods and maximizes availability during unplanned outages.

Serving a key role in Dynamic Segmentation and acting as policy enforcement agents, the Hardware Mobility Conductor Series provides a single management layer for controllers and virtual controllers.

Support for WPA3 brings stronger encryption and authentication methods, while Enhanced Open brings automatic encryption security to open networks.

Simple and Flexible Deployment

Leverage existing virtual infrastructure by running the HPE Aruba Networking Hardware Mobility Conductor Series as a virtual appliance.

Dynamically manage licenses based on site requirements by accessing licensing pools.

Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) reduces operational costs and avoids provisioning errors. By deploying without local IT resources, a managed device will automatically discover the mobility conductor and download its local configuration.

Can be deployed as a conductor controller for any combination of HPE Aruba Networking 7000 Series Mobility Controllers or HPE Aruba Networking 7200 Series Mobility Controllers and HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Controller Virtual Appliances.
