Aruba Zero Trust Security

 

Network security challenges have evolved significantly over the years as users have become increasingly decentralized and attacks have become more sophisticated and persistent. Traditional security approaches that focused primarily on the perimeter of the network have become ineffective as standalone security strategies. Modern network security must accommodate an ever-changing, diverse set of users and devices, as well as much more prevalent threats targeting previously “trusted” parts of the network infrastructure.

Zero Trust has emerged as an effective model to better address the changing security requirements for the modern enterprise by assuming that all users, devices, servers, and network segments are inherently insecure and potentially
hostile. Aruba ESP with Zero Trust Security improves the overall network security posture by applying a more rigorous set of security best practices and controls to previously trusted network resources.

Aruba Unified Infrastructure

 

Network infrastructure and operations teams have never been more stretched. Hyper-distributed edge environments characterized by an increasingly remote workforce, the rapid growth of IoT connected devices, and a continuing need to provide secure connectivity to services hosted in the cloud and data centers are creating insurmountable levels of operational complexity.

ARUBA NetEdit

 

Network administrators face numerous challenges that include device proliferation brought on by IoT and BYOD, as well as the need to provide reliable, secure mobile access to any user, anywhere. The high rate of change to support evolving business requirements is another issue. Non-stop adds, moves and changes can overwhelm what are often short-staffed IT teams, which increases the risk of operator error and, subsequently, performance issues or downtime.

 

In response to these challenges, Aruba NetEdit empowers IT teams to orchestrate the configuration of multiple switches with automation and analytics to ensure deployments are consistent, conformant, and free of errors. The automation workflows allow for changes without the overhead of programming by providing operators with a user-friendly, CLI-like interface. This arms IT teams with the power to smoothly coordinate end-to-end service roll outs, rapidly initiate network-wide changes, and ensure policy conformance after network updates.

 

With embedded analytics delivered from the Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE), this intelligent assistance and continuous validation assure that network-wide configuration changes are consistent and compliant, ultimately improving the overall health and security of the network.

ARUBA CENTRAL FOR WORK FROM HOME INITIATIVES

 

Enterprises and mid-size businesses alike cannot afford to shut down due to man-made incidents, natural disasters, or pandemics. Contingency planning is essential to ensuring business continuity. Using mobile applications and cloud-hosted services not only delivers convenient and instant access to needed information and resources but enables people to work, study, and interact with peers without interruption.

However, in order to implement work from home policies for the line of business (LOB) that handles private or sensitive data as well as organizations that need to maintain compliance, technology solutions that help mitigate risk and address privacy and security concerns are needed. By deploying Aruba Central, a wide range of remote networking requirements can be quickly addressed from a single pane of glass.

Aruba AIOps Solutions Overview

 

Within the next 2 years it is estimated that more than 50% of data will be generated outside the data center or cloud, likely coming from the estimated 55 billion IoT² devices connected
worldwide. Businesses are combining this data with new applications at the Edge, to improve operational efficiencies and create new revenue streams.

But as businesses shift to capitalize on all of this data, the role of their infrastructure, and that of network operations, shifts, too. When you combine the massive amounts of data
with ubiquitous mobility and IoT, it’s clear that a new network operations approach is needed. One that makes life easier for network operations by reducing trouble tickets and ensuring SLAs deliver world-class user experiences. A way to quickly resolve connectivity problems using automated root cause analysis, precise recommendations, and remediation is needed, so that IT can focus on driving business value as opposed to dealing with mundane tasks. And where AI predicts and preempts issues before they happen.

Aruba 802.11AC IN-Depth

802.11AC IN-Depth White Paper


partners-logo-arubaWi-Fi has become such an amazingly successful technology because it has continuously advanced while remaining backwards compatible. Every few years since the 802.11b amendment was ratified, the industry has released successive amendments increasing Wi-Fi data rates and capabilities, but even the latest Wi-Fi systems are able to interoperate with 1999 equipment built to the original standard. This paper
explains the latest advance in Wi-Fi, 802.11ac, which provides the next step forward in performance.

 

The current state-of-the-art Wi-Fi is known as Wi-Fi CERTIFIED n or 802.11n. In the four years since the Wi-Fi Alliance introduced its initial certification, this technology has become hugely popular. According to IHS iSuppli, 802.11n now accounts for over two-thirds of Wi-Fi chipset shipments, and is on track to take over completely from 802.11a/b/g in mainstream applications before the end of 2012.

 

802.11n has become popular because it improves performance. The five-fold increase in bandwidth, along with improved reliability from multi-antenna MIMO techniques, has delivered a better user experience. In fact, a 2007 Burton Group report entitled “The end of Ethernet” accurately predicted a future where Wi-Fi will take over from wired Ethernet as the primary edge connection for corporate networks.

Aruba Client Match

What is Aruba ClientMatch?



Ensuring that all wireless network clients receive appropriate levels of service is a major challenge, especially when phones, tablets, and other mobile devices choose which available SSIDs to connect to regardless of network health. This can have a significant impact on the performance of the client as well as the overall health of the network. Issues can stem from clients that connect with weak signals, connect to an oversubscribed access point (AP), and from clients that stubbornly remain connected to a single AP even when it roams to an area with APs that offer better connectivity (e.g. sticky client issues).
