Ensures responsive customer support and competitive pricing, but may lack scalability and effectiveness in rapidly evolving networking landscapes
In terms of scalability for the Aruba Remote Access Points, our utilization differs from other companies. While many organizations use them for branch offices, our situation is unique. We didn't have to worry about deploying RAPs extensively because we lacked branch offices. The few instances where we did utilize them involved more effort in configuring and setting up custom solutions, which didn't scale well for us. Since we own the locations where employees work, there wasn't a significant need for off-site connectivity. Those instances that did require off-site access were already integrated into our network. I would rate the scalability of Aruba Remote Access Points a five out of ten. While they are useful, there comes a point where manageability starts to diminish. Since they are not directly tied to the network like traditional access points, they pose some unique challenges. In high-demand scenarios, the performance of Aruba Remote Access Points can vary. While they are built to handle substantial usage, I cannot provide specific numbers. However, we have deployed them successfully for numerous outdoor events and large gatherings where many users connect to them. Despite their capability to handle heavy loads, overutilization is not ideal.
