Unified Infrastructure Management and Network Operations

With a setup wizard, Zero-Touch Provisioning, and a mobile installer app, getting started is just the beginning of a unified approach to infrastructure management.

Once your network is up and running, centralized monitoring and controls gives you a look into the overall health and operation of your environment via a map or grid view. You can toggle your view at the device level for context-based visibility or view and configure all of your network operations at once.

Advanced Analytics and In-Depth Troubleshooting

With AI-powered continuous monitoring, Aruba Central offers real-time visibility and is always learning to provide digestible information about a complex environment. In doing so, the platform can generate comprehensive alerts for device connectivity, network health, and user activity.

To truly understand your application health, throughput, and data usage, Aruba Central also provides a number of scheduled and on-demand reports. These can be used as a catalyst to troubleshoot, learn, and improve.

SD-WAN Orchestration & Management

With Aruba Central, your team can manage SD-WAN infrastructure and route traffic appropriately. Workflows also exist that give device-specific configuration information so you can improve user’s experience. Additional features give graphical representation of gateways, provide application performance scores, and manage routing preferences across multiple branches or locations.

Reliability and security are likely your two highest cloud priorities. Aruba Central has a web-scale database design for responsive performance no matter how much data you are working with.
