Has supported dynamic user segmentation and centralized management across campus networks
The best features of Aruba Switches are their stability and reliability. Hardware failures are rare because the switches have been running for years, and it is uncommon to encounter hardware issues or impacting bugs. From an operational perspective, Aruba Switches are stable and easy to configure through centralized management solutions. Initially managed through AirWave and now through Central, the configuration can be managed easily with audit records and visibility to switch health and other parameters. Another advantage is that Aruba Switches work seamlessly with ClearPass as a NAC server. This integration allows for dynamic policies, dynamic downloadable user roles, and enables seamless segmentation of users for network security. The real-time analytics provided by Aruba Switches for network efficiency are valuable when needed. All information visible in the analytics dashboard is truly helpful. With Aruba Central's migration to AI capability, additional value is being provided, offering more information and making troubleshooting easier with user-friendly features where you can search for anything and receive relevant results.

Provides faster output with manageability and reliability
Other switches often lack sufficient ports, particularly for fiber connections like SFP modules. For instance, a 24-port LAN switch might only include a limited number of SFP ports, typically just four. More switches with a higher number of SFP ports are needed to better accommodate various networking requirements. Having more SFP ports would benefit us, clients, and system integrators. Additionally, as technology evolves, devices with advanced features, like those offered by DeepLink, will become increasingly valuable. DeepLink regularly updates and improves its range of network switches and access points, offering enhanced capabilities each year. They need to streamline the device reset process. For instance, resetting an Omada access point currently involves about seven steps. Improving this process to make it faster and simpler would be beneficial, as the current method takes too long.
