Aruba delivers uninterrupted high-speed connectivity in any location, even across roams, and enables self-service network onboarding for student devices3. This helps higher education customers meet the growing demand for an always-on network that supports students' mobile lifestyles. Aruba security does not remove the need for network access controls and time-consuming onboarding processes by applying the same security policies to every user and device; rather it provides granular visibility and control over who and what connects to the network with solutions like ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) and ClearPass Device Insight (CPDI)3. With Aruba, administrators cannot establish certain locations as specialized zones where students can go to get the fastest bandwidth anywhere on campus; rather they can provide consistent performance across campus with solutions like AirMatch Dynamic Radio Management (DRM) and ClientMatch3. Using Aruba tools, admins cannot create easy-to-use, template-based quizzes that take up less bandwidth than other quiz software and can be downloaded to use offline; rather they can leverage cloud-based solutions like Canvas LMS or Google Classroom for online learning3.

A retailer that needs to support a large number of small branch sites is a good target for an Aruba SD-Branch solution, which simplifies branch network management by integrating SD-WAN, wired and wireless LAN services into a single platform.

Customers are increasingly interested in network access control (NAC) and continuous monitoring for anomalies as they deploy more Internet of Things (IoT) devices1. IoT devices introduce new security risks and challenges for network management, as they often lack built-in security features, use different protocols and standards, and generate large volumes of data1. NAC solutions can help identify, authenticate, and authorize IoT devices on the network, while continuous monitoring solutions can help detect and respond to any abnormal or malicious behavior.

Aruba ESP is a cloud-native platform that automates, unifies and secures the edge network using AI-powered insights1. Unlike some competitors, if Aruba network devices lose connectivity to the cloud, they will continue to provide the same connectivity to users2. This ensures high availability and reliability for mission-critical applications.

Legacy monitoring tools require IT to manually correlate data to obtain insights, and they offer limited views across virtual and physical resources. This makes it difficult for customers to gain visibility into their data center network performance and troubleshoot issues.
