Editor's Notes
- #3 Most people know Aruba as a Wireless LAN company because that’s how it all started, but things have changed. Over an 11 year period, Aruba has really become a leading supplier of enterprise mobility solutions. Specifically, Aruba’s portfolio has grown from offering the first secure enterprise-class WLAN solution to now including a family of access switches, and multivendor network access and policy management solutions. Because of our commitment to customer success: Aruba is trusted by over 40K customers to deliver the latest innovation Aruba maintains strong financials And changes in the market have positioned Aruba as a long-term technology and channel partner for companies like HP, Juniper, CDW and more
- #8 Now lets look at what makes Instant SIMPLE. You will love how easy it is to set up. They won’t really need a network expert to deploy and manage. Here’s how it works. Simply power up the first AP and connect to the internet. It will first look to see if there is an existing Instant WLAN to join. If not, it will automatically pull down any predefined configuration you’ve set up for it. You can define a config for an AP before it even ships! And then when it’s plugged in on location, the AP will pull down that config automatically. After that first AP is running, it elects itself as the master AP, or virtual controller. That means it does all the controller and firewall functions on behalf of the WLAN “cluster” for any other APs in the area. Then, when you plug in any other Instant APs, they follow the same process as the first one. They power on and find an existing WLAN cluster to join, they connect to the master AP and pull down firmware and configs. Basically, you only ever configure the first AP, and even that can be preconfigured. AND your entire network can be up in minutes. On top of how simple this… This unique architecture is completely built with redundancy… if the master AP is unreachable or fails for some reason, the next most senior AP will automatically take over… so seamless that the network will continue running and users won’t see a difference.
- #10 And this… is Aruba’s complete Instant portfolio. Going from left to right… you are looking at entry-level and most affordable APs, then the most popular ones, and then best performance. AND to the right most the outdoor APs. D So, depending on your customers’ requirements and affordability, you have a wide range of APs to offer. The top… 200, 210 & 220 series APs are the new 802.11ac standard APs. Note that Aruba offers Limited Lifetime Warrantee on all APs, and there is no additional licensing for any Instant APs.
- #12 You can choose to manage their Instant network locally, in the cloud or on premises. The free management interface we saw earlier that provides visibility into the network & all capabilities required to manage a single Instant network. The additional choices include Aruba Central for management hosted in the cloud or Aruba Airwave for an on-premises management system. Customers typically prefer one over the other based on a few criteria.
- #13 Aruba AirWave is for business who prefer an on-prem solution and or need a solution that not only manages Aruba APs and switches, but also wired and wireless infrastructures from a wide range of third-party manufacturers.
