Aruba Central is designed to simplify the deployment, management, and optimization of WLAN, LAN, VPN, and SD-WAN. As the single pane of glass for Aruba ESP, the use of integrated AI-based machine learning, Io T device profiling for security, and unified infrastructure management accelerates the edge-to-cloud transformation for today's intelligent edge. Streamlined workflows, centralized monitoring & control, built-in AIOps, detailed alerts, reporting, and troubleshooting combine to save time & resources. IT can spend less time on managing the infrastructure & more on creating value for the business. Streamlined network operations It all begins with the interface, which is informative & easy to use. Upon login, gain direct access to manage network & security infrastructure & configuration, add or remove devices & licenses, and integrate with existing IT systems. Aruba Central provides quick & easy access to the data required to manage, analyze, and maintain your networks, devices, and clients from a single pane of glass. This saves your valuable time & reduces the learning curve while improving how your network performs. Zero-Touch Provisioning Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) gets infrastructure devices up & running. Configuration parameters are centrally defined for Aruba access points (instant or micro-branch), switches, VPN users, and gateways, and are automatically downloaded as device boot-up. Each device connects to Aruba Central & automatically receives its running configuration, regardless of location. Contact tracing & location tracing Historical Wi-Fi location data is available with Aruba Central & can be exported to third-party data analysis tools as needed. This
Includes:: simple search queries can be run on a per-client basis to identify nearby clients & contact duration. Unified infrastructure management The first thing you'll notice is the network health overview. This primary dashboard provides a global or site view of all managed devices. A detailed list of device usage, utilization & RF noise, along with WAN uplink & tunnel status can be easily viewed. At-a-glance views provide comprehensive visibility & control at the global level. Selecting a site changes the interface to only show those devices relevant for specific sites. The same is true for clients at each site. Supported network devices Aruba Central provides management for Aruba WLAN, wired, SD-WAN, and VPN infrastructure. In addition to Unified APs & other currently supported devices, Aruba Central will expand support for select controller-based APs, switches, gateways, and controller hardware. Advanced AIOps With continuous monitoring, AI-based insights provide real&8209;time visibility & alerts into what's happening in the wireless LAN, switching, and SD-WAN infrastructure. The insights leverage a growing pool of network data, and deep domain experience. User Experience Insight (UXI) integration Directly view & monitor UXI health status on the network health view. When a problem is uncovered, quickly identify systemic issues across a global topography using the enhanced Network Health dashboard
- & access the full UXI dashboard for advanced troubleshooting. Reporting & in-depth troubleshooting Aruba Central
Includes:: the ability to create comprehensive reports that cover device connectivity, network health, and user account activity. A reporting wizard is also provided to generate scheduled & on-demand reports that highlight network & application health, throughput & usage data, device & client inventory, and activity auditing.
