Aruba ClearPass Onboard Software lets BYOD and IT-issued devices connect safely to your network in compliance with security mandates. It automatically configures and provisions mobile devices and enable them to securely connect to enterprise networks.

ClearPass Onboard allows users configure devices for use on secure networks all on their own, enabling full and limited access based on roles, device type, and security posture. Unique device certificates eliminate the need for users to repeatedly enter login credentials throughout the day.

Aruba ClearPass Guest Software is a scalable, easy-to-use visitor management solution that delivers secure automated guest access workflows for visitors, contractors, shoppers and partners on wireless and wired networks using any type of mobile device.

ClearPass Guest supports hundreds to thousands of guests, while reducing the threats associated with unauthorized guest access. ClearPass Guest operates on the ClearPass Policy Manager platform, which offers a core set of authentication, authorization, accounting, profiling of devices, reporting and policy enforcement capabilities.

ArubaOS Software is the operating system for all Aruba controller-managed wireless LANs and Aruba Mobility Controllers. ArubaOS 6.5 is able to deliver a wide range of critical campus mobility services such as unified wired and wireless, enterprise grade security, simplified operations with centralized licensing and application aware visibility and control in AppRF.
ArubaOS 8 deployed as a virtual machine running on servers, is the operating system for all Aruba Mobility Controllers, Virtual Mobility Controllers, Mobility Master and controller-based access points. With an extensive set of integrated technologies and capabilities, ArubaOS 8 delivers automated RF planning ( AirMatch), multi tenancy in AP ( MultiZone), an always-on network (Controller Clustering) to support high density environments.

Designed for the digital workplace, the Aruba 2540 Switch Series is optimized for mobile users. With advanced security and network management tools — Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager and Aruba AirWave — this Layer 2 access switch is easy to deploy and manage. With support from cloud-based Aruba Central, you can quickly set up remote branch sites with little or no IT support. The 2540 delivers entry level features for the enterprise campus, SMB and branch offices. It provides built-in 10GbE uplinks, robust QoS, static and RIP routing, IPv6, PoE+ models and requires no software licensing.

The HPE FlexFabric 5945 Switch Series are high-density, ultra-low-latency, and top-of-rack (ToR) switches ideally suited for deployment at the aggregation or server access layer of large enterprise data centers. The HPE 5945 is also powerful enough for deployment at the core layer of medium-sized enterprises. With the increase in virtualized applications and server-to-server traffic, customers require spine and ToR switches that can meet their throughput requirements. With the HPE 5945, data centers can now support up to 100GbE per port, allowing high performance server connectivity and the capabilities to handle virtual environments. The HPE FlexFabric 5945 Switch Series provides choices that fit your budget and IT environment by cut-through with ultra-low-latency and wire speed, offering different port density and speeds of 100GbE/40GbE/25GbE/10GbE spine/ToR connectivity.

Aruba Virtual Mobility Controller (VMC) is deployed as a Virtual Machine and runs on ArubaOS 8. It provides a flexible deployment alternative to hardware mobility controllers (72xx and 7xxx). This virtual controller also provides plenty of capacity and speed for BYOD and IEEE 802.11ac devices for both campus or branch deployments.

VMC can be deployed as standalone or managed by the Aruba Mobility Master where it can support up to 100K users. A VMC deployment can benefit customers from operational cost savings as it can reside with other VMs sharing the same existing virtualization infrastructure.

Aruba ClearPass OnGuard Software agents perform advanced endpoint posture assessments on leading computer operating systems to ensure compliance is met before devices connect.

Running on the Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager platform, the advanced network access control (NAC) framework in ClearPass OnGuard offers exceptional safeguards against vulnerabilities. In addition to anti-virus, anti-spyware and personal firewall audits performed by traditional NAC products, OnGuard agents can perform additional posture and health checks to ensure a greater level of endpoint compliance

The HPE OfficeConnect 1850 Switch Series offers choice and flexibility for smaller organizations that require ease of use and affordable high performance connectivity. The series consists of four basic smart-managed, fixed configuration, Gigabit Layer 2 switches and one 10 Gigabit aggregator switch to deliver high performance 10G connectivity to the edge. They come in an easy-to-administer solution that has the latest energy-saving capabilities.
These switches are plug-and-play out of the box, where network operation can be fine-tuned through a simple Web browser-based GUI, when needed.

The HPE FlexFabric 5980 Switch Series is a high-performance and low-latency 10 GbE top-of-rack, data center switch designed to meet the increasing requirements for higher-performance server connectivity, convergence of Ethernet and storage traffic, the capability to handle virtual environments, and low latency. The switch includes 100Gbps uplink technology and is ideally suited for deployment at the aggregation or server access layer of large enterprise data centers or at the core layer of medium-sized enterprises.
