Key features • Manage up to 10,000 access points for large campus requirements • Support for new 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6), WPA3 and Enhanced Open — and existing standards • Dynamic Segmentation enforces wired and wireless access policies to simplify and secure the network • Application awareness for 3,000+ applications without additional hardware • Built-in AI-powered wireless/RF optimization • Automate deployment with Zero Touch Provisioning and hierarchical configuration
Extended maintenance windows, network upgrades and unplanned outages can mean hundreds or even thousands of hours of lost productivity yearly. More than ever, network infrastructure is mission-critical, and to meet these demands, the HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Conductor delivers the full capabilities of the HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System to scale to today’s enterprise needs. The Mobility Conductor enables high scale and reliability, managing up to 100,000 clients, 10,000 access points (APs) and 1,000 controllers/gateways. It also provides simplified deployment with dynamic license management, configuration hierarchy and a choice of virtual or x86 hardware appliances.
Simple and secure access
The HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Conductor serves a key role in Dynamic Segmentation, providing a single management layer for all controllers acting as policy enforcement agents. Policy enforcement is provided by the HPE Aruba Networking Policy Enforcement Firewall embedded within each controller, and utilizes information on user roles, device type, applications, and network location to simplify and secure wired and wireless network access. This feature can be enabled with the PEF license and eliminates the need to manually configure SSIDs, VLANs or ACLs for each new client on the network.
24×7 mission-critical networking The HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Conductor is deployed as a conductor controller for any combination of HPE Aruba Networking 7000 Series or 7200 Series Mobility Controllers and HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Controller Virtual Appliances. The Mobility Conductor increases scale by joining HPE Aruba Networking controllers to a Controller Cluster, improves reliability using enhanced high availability (HA), adopts configurations seamlessly based on hierarchy, and reduces or eliminates maintenance windows by enabling live upgrades.
HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System provides unique and patented AI-powered machine learning HPE Aruba Networking Adaptive Radio Management features such as AirMatch and ClientMatch (now enhanced with 802.11ax grouping) for automatic RF optimization. These features improve the network’s performance based on changing environmental conditions, noisy or congested RF and resolve sticky client issues during user roaming.Â
Licensing pools The Mobility Conductor enables licensing pools to dynamically manage licenses based on site requirements. By default, all managed devices (e.g. controller) share a global pool of licenses; however, the OS also allows individual controllers access to a dedicated pool of licenses.
HPE Aruba Networking RFProtect (RFP) provides advanced spectrum analysis and wireless intrusion protection (WIPS/WIDS) to help identify and mitigate Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi sources of interference to contain potential security risks.
Enhanced capabilities HPE Aruba Networking AirMatch As an enhancement of HPE Aruba Networking Adaptive Radio Management, AirMatch automates network-wide RF channels, channel width, and transmits power to optimize the highest density environments. By utilizing AI-powered machine learning algorithms, AirMatch proactively learns and acclimates the network based on changing environmental conditions and system capacity.Â
HPE Aruba Networking AirMatch benefits:Â
• Even channel assignment Provides even distribution of radios across available channels, interference mitigation and maximized system capacityÂ
• Dynamic channel width adjustment Dynamically adjusts between 20 MHz, 40 MHz and 80 MHz to match the density of your environmentÂ
• Automatic transmit power adjustment Examines the entire WLAN coverage and automatically adjusts the transmit power of APs to ensure the best coverage and user experience Hierarchical configuration and improved visibility HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System, running on the HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Conductor, uses a centralized, multi-tiered architecture that consolidates all deployment models (e.g. all-conductor, single-conductor/multiplelocal, and multiple-conductor/local) with a single approach. Network configurations can be made and distributed from the Mobility Conductor automatically to all HPE Aruba
