- Aruba 7000 Series Mobility Controllers performs Dynamic Segmentation by tunneling both wired and wireless traffic to the built-in Policy Enforcement Firewall for deep packet inspection and policy enforcement.
- Aruba 7000 Series Mobility Controllers can assume the role of an on-premises agent of centrally-hosted third-party firewalls to eliminate the need for dedicated branch firewall appliances.
- The Aruba 7000 Series Mobility Controllers can be repurposed as SD-WAN gateways, providing up to 8 Gbps of throughput, which is up to 10 times that of typical SD-WAN appliances.
Aruba 7005 Cloud Services Controller optimizes cloud services and secure enterprise applications for SD-WAN at branch offices, while reducing the cost and complexity of deploying and managing the network.
The 7005 Cloud Services Controller combines wireless, wired and hybrid WAN services, supports up to 64 APs and 24 Ethernet ports, and feature integrated WAN compression, health checks, zero- touch configuration, and policy-based routing. It also unifies policy management with third-party security services, making it simpler and more secure to create an all-wireless workplace.
Supporting over 4,000 users, it performs stateful firewall policy enforcement at up to 8 Gbps. Secure IP tunnels protect WAN traffic across the public and private transport network to the cloud and data center. Additional features include integrated firewall, secure VPN, 3G/4G LTE cellular failover, threat management with content filtering, and local bridging, based on end-user application or IT traffic forwarding requirements.
The 7005 Cloud Services Controller supports Aruba's Next-Generation Mobility Firewall with AppRF technology, which continuously evaluates app usage and performance for over 1,500 apps, including cloud and web-based services and apps that are hidden as encrypted or web traffic. It then automatically makes configuration changes in real-time to ensure optimal bandwidth, priority, and network paths in branch and remote offices to safeguard the best possible user experience.
A real-time dashboard makes it easy to identify and correct quality-of-service tags, load-balance specific applications across APs, adjust RF management and roaming parameters for latency-sensitive apps, and apply bandwidth contracts per app or application type. Integration with cloud services makes extending security and QoS for mobile unified communications easier and more reliable across the distributed enterprise.
The 7005 Cloud Services Controller handles other enterprise-critical capabilities like authentication, encryption, IPv4 and IPv6 services, Adaptive Radio Management, ClientMatch, and RFProtect spectrum analysis and wireless intrusion protection.
