Key Features
AIOps for Wired, Wireless, and SD-WAN Infrastructure
AI Insight provides actionable intelligence of the overall health of the network to simplify troubleshooting and boost overall performance.
Leveraging a common data lake hosted in the cloud, peer comparisons are available to crowdsource commonly encountered issues.
AI Search provides more advanced issue detection capabilities, simplifying Day 0 to Day 2 operations with context-based troubleshooting and guided remediation steps to quickly fix issues.
AI Assist brings support services to the forefront by using machine learning to perform search queries, automatically collect diagnostics, and proactively initiate a TAC service request, as needed.
Additional Wi-Fi and BLE analytics enable businesses to conduct contact tracing and location tracing to aid in COVID-19 responses.
Enterprise Scale and Resiliency
Aruba Central delivers higher scale and resiliency for enterprise campus, branch, and remote networks, with support for tens of thousands of devices in a single instance. Cloud, on-premises, and as-a-service options are available.
