Digital acceleration is increasing the strain on today’s campus networks
Cloud, IoT, and OT proliferation
As businesses increasingly invest in digital and connected technologies, aging IT infrastructure can negatively impact revenue streams.
Operational complexity
With increasing use of cloud apps, mobile devices, and other smart sensors, every move, add, or change creates an exponential effect on IT workloads.
Reduced IT resources
From staffing shortages to stagnant budgets, network modernization efforts can be delayed by months or years if people resources are taxed.
It’s time to modernize your campus network
Higher scale and performance
Deliver modern campus connectivity to hundreds—even tens of thousands—of users, with advanced automation and programmability tools, tri-band Wi-Fi operation, multi-gigabit Ethernet, and secure access to cloud and on-premise data stores. What’s more, current customers can repurpose much of their existing infrastructure for investment protection.
Increased visibility and control
Begin the journey to consolidate your network management functions using a cloud-native platform that boasts unified wired, Wi-Fi, and SD-WAN management, automated configuration of network and policy definition, and deployment wherever you need it—in the cloud or on-premise.
Enhanced IT efficiency
Identify network, security, and application performance issues before they affect your users—and your business. Using a common data lake, Aruba Central gathers and analyzes metadata to provide optimization tips as your network experiences change, eliminating a sizable portion of manual diagnostics.
Flexible consumption options
Enable your business to quickly and efficiently deploy critical network services to support on-demand use cases such as remote user access, new site deployments, and incremental upgrades—without adding lead times to existing IT initiatives, creating guesswork around finances, or losing control over the decision-making process.
What are your network consumption priorities?
While network as a service (NaaS) is typically defined as a network managed by a 3rd party for a monthly payment, most organization have much broader NaaS needs based on the business outcomes they need to achieve.
