HPE Aruba Central On-Premises Foundation

Streamlined network operations

It all begins with the interface, which is informative and easy to use. Upon login, gain direct access to manage network and security infrastructure and configuration, add or remove devices and licenses, and integrate with existing IT systems. Aruba Central provides quick and easy access to the data required to manage, analyze, and maintain your networks, devices, and clients from a single pane of glass. This saves time and reduces the learning curve while improving how your network performs.

Zero-Touch Provisioning

Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) gets infrastructure devices up and 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 and automatically receives its running configuration, regardless of location.

Contact tracing and location tracing

Historical Wi-Fi location data is available with Aruba Central and 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 and 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 and RF noise, along with WAN uplink and tunnel status can be easily viewed. At-a-glance views provide comprehensive visibility and 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 and 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‑time visibility and 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 and 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 - and access the full UXI dashboard for advanced troubleshooting.

Reporting and 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 and on-demand reports that highlight network and application health, throughput and usage data, device and client inventory, and activity auditing.
