Simplicity at enterprise
scale: Aruba Central and
infrastructure enhancements
Aruba’s SD-Branch solution enables IT
organisations to effectively manage more
branch locations with less staff while
leveraging a consistent approach for
security and compliance across locations. By
integrating and centralising management
while eliminating costly MPLS connectivity,
customers can realise savings up to 75% as
compared to traditional deployments.
Aruba Central with new SD-WAN support
has been enhanced to provide automated
configuration capabilities, granular visibility
and easy-to-use troubleshooting tools.
Aruba’s Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and
intuitive mobile app for automated device
onboarding, provides non-technical staff
at the branch a plug-and-play experience
that eliminates the need for manual onsite
configuration and costly, time-consuming
truck rolls.
As it continues to expand its global presence,
high-end, luxury retailer Vera Wang is an
organisation that is facing this challenge as
it scales its operations.
“We need to get stores up and running
quickly and maximise our WAN availability
and efficiency,” said Stewart Ebrat, CIO
