A key use case for Aruba Central is simplifying management for a campus network that offers anytime, anywhere access.

ArubaOS switches provide a Network AnalyticsEngine (NAE) that helps to monitor, troubleshoot and ensure the health of both the wired and connected wireless network123. This is an advantage over other switches that do not have this feature.

The question that will help qualify the customer for the Aruba SD-Branch solution is option C because it relates to one of the main benefits of this solution: cloud connectivity. The Aruba SD-Branch solution is designed for distributed enterprises that need simplified branch networking with integrated security and cloud management. One of its key features is its ability to provide secure access to cloud services such as SaaS applications, IaaS platforms or public cloud workloads through its built-in firewall, VPN gateway or WAN optimization capabilities. Therefore, asking how they access cloud services and what issues they are seeing with their current router will help identify their pain points and opportunities for improvement with Aruba's solution.
