The solution is well suited for any business, really. For my company, it's easier to use because our warranty structure in South Africa is much better. That's basically the only reason why we use Aruba instead of Cisco. Cisco is more expensive, and while Aruba is still expensive, it's not as costly in our region. If they don't pay attention to their pricing, they might lose to Huawei.

Head Of Technical Department at Modern establishment for supply and trading

Aruba switches are divided into many categories: core, distribution, access, and small switches called Instant On. Small businesses and home users use those. We use 6400 Aruba switches, which are core switches that support the new CX operating system. We also use distribution switches such as the 8300 and category access layers such as the 6100, 6200, and 6300. There are many Aruba category switches in access layers and Instant On switches for small offices, such as Aruba Instant On 1930 and 1960.

We have set up Aruba switches for customers in Egypt's hospitality, and oil and gas industries.

We primarily use the solution for connectivity purposes.  

If you want to connect your network, you definitely need a switch for end-to-end connectivity. The good thing about Aruba switches nowadays is that these particular switches also can be managed through the cloud. You can manage it through the cloud, you can manage it to NMS, and you can manage it to the individual switch also. You can manage it as a cluster.

Michael-Sugg - PeerSpot reviewer

The Aruba switch is supporting a doctor's office, so it's an on-premise switch. These particular switches provide the fundamental network for the entire office, including power over ethernet for the security cameras and wireless access points. The solution also provides network switching between databases and clients. I manage the switches using the Aruba Central public cloud.

Marius Celliers - PeerSpot reviewer
Managing Director Technology at Quantum Design and Engineering

We use industrial switches called Moxa switches for our Edge devices and our Edge networks. For the backbone, we use Aruba switches because of the throughputs.It's much cheaper to put in an Aruba Switch than putting in a Moxa switch. We use it for CCTV cameras and we have about 150 to 200 cameras on the system. 

For each of our clients who use this switch, we assign one of our engineers for maintenance. Our service level agreements determine the type of support they receive and how many of our engineers are needed. One of our engineers handles about four or five clients.

Security & Infrastructure Architect at a consumer goods company with 51-200 employees

The 5400 series is a modular chassis-based switch and it allows us to buy parts for different needs, such as 10 gigs, or a one gig ethernet over copper for workstations. It's really our core switch and we actually have a couple of different models.

That's in our headquarters, and then we have some other sites that use Aruba. I think they're the 2600 series or 2700 series, the smaller, modular ones, and stackable ones. Not the chassis-based.

The primary use case of this solution is for access points. You can look at any site and take the static ID, or the real ID. It's similar to VPN.

With the access point, you take the real ID and install it in the controller, you then access the site with this access point.

We are interior designers and we have many showroom sites, we use the Aruba controller. We have twenty-five Aruba Switches with fifteen to twenty access points.

We are using the 205 and 215 series. The bandwidth is 1gHz.
