Aruba Why SD Branch?

SD-WAN solutions are evolving to address the rise of Cloud, IoT, and increased complexity at the branch. This requires a comprehensive solution across not only the WAN but the wired and wireless networks at the branch. Thus, SD-Branch (a superset of SD-WAN) addresses the entire distributed enterprise from edge to cloud to core, with strong security and a greatly simplified IT experience.

Aruba SD-WAN Application Polices

Aruba supports end-to-end QoS for over 3200 applications which includes prioritization, traffic shaping, and CoS. Aruba goes beyond traditional QoS by enhancing visibility with user-role context from a hardened policy enforcement firewall. This approach enforces WAN policies within the branch gateway for both inbound and intra-branch traffic.

Aruba SaaS Express

A key challenge in the WAN is the rapidly growing rate of SaaS traffic (such as Office 365, Box, or Salesforce) over the Internet. It’s often difficult to identify the best path for maintaining high performance of these applications. Aruba’s SaaS Express finds the closest SaaS application servers and monitors their health, dynamically steering traffic based on path quality and performance metrics.

Aruba Securing IoT at the Branch

Branch security is critical and has many dimensions. With Aruba SD-Branch, it begins with simplified onboarding and provisioning. Uniquely in the industry, Aruba dynamically microsegments traffic using role-based policies on the LAN, WLAN and WAN. This eliminates the manual configuration and static maintenance of VLANs and access lists. Aruba branch security is further enhanced by deep visibility and a stateful L7 firewall, along with web content filtering.

Aruba Orchestrated Cloud Security

As more and more applications and solutions move to the cloud, a robust partner program offers customers the ability to leverage third-party defenses from vendors such as Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks, and Checkpoint. Instead of sending all traffic to the data center, real-time threat correlation, inline content inspection and other cloud firewall controls make it easy to protect today’s mobile perimeter.
