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.

The HPE Composable Fabric FM 3180 Switch, a top-of-rack connectivity module, delivers an innovative networking solution designed to meet the growing needs of today’s virtual and highly dynamic data center and cloud environments. Designed to support scale-out applications with high-performance east/west traffic needs, Composable Fabric provides an easily scalable, automated Fabric solution for diverse application workloads. The HPE Composable Fabric FM 3180 Switch provides a cost-effective 1U solution for intensive Big Data or Agile IT environments. Industry standard architecture using Ethernet switching to create a high-performance, resilient, low-latency and scalable data center network fabric. A single tier of Composable Fabric connectivity modules can reduce cost, complexity and operational overhead while creating true fabric agility for dynamic workload needs.

The HPE Composable Fabric FM 1006 Switch, a passive optical interconnect module, uses fabric and extender interfaces to connect Top-of-Rack Fabric Modules into a meshed network while maintaining all the photonic switching capabilities of the traditional Composable Fabric solution. The interconnect module provides 12 fabric module port connections that interconnect up to 6 Hewlett Packard Enterprise rack connectivity modules. The module also has extender ports to connect multiple modules together to build larger fabrics. The mesh architecture enables linear scaling, with each additional switch adding fabric capacity, resiliency and multi-path options.

The Aruba 3810 Switch Series provides performance and resiliency for enterprises, SMBs, and branch office networks. With HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit ports for high-speed 802.11ac devices, this advanced Layer 3 switch delivers a better application experience with low latency, virtualization with resilient stacking technology, and line rate 40GbE for plenty of back haul capacity. The Aruba 3810 is easy to deploy and manage with advanced security and network management tools like Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, Aruba AirWave and cloud-based Aruba Central.

Aruba AirWave Management Platform is a scalable, full featured management solution for multi-vendor wired and wireless networks. Organizations gain the visibility, control and troubleshooting tools required to fully manage today’s distributed enterprise environments. AirWave integrates configuration and deployment and real-time visibility and control for comprehensive management and troubleshooting. This provides a flexible platform for maintaining the reliability and performance of Aruba access points, controllers, switches, and selected multi-vendor devices.

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.

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.

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
