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 […]
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 Virtual Gateway Orchestration for Public Clouds
Aruba Virtual Gateway (vGW) is an entry point into the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environments provided by AWS, and the virtual networks (VNET) in Microsoft Azure. Aruba’s rapid spin-up and lifecycle management of public cloud endpoints improves performance across branches and enterprise headends, while maintaining the convenience of public cloud hosting.
Aruba Seamless SD-WAN Orchestration
Aruba’s SD-WAN Orchestrator removes the need to manually configure VPN tunnels and IP routes between branch and headend gateways in an SD-WAN consisting of hundreds or thousands of branch locations with multiple data centers.
Aruba SD-Branch Solution Overview
Aruba’s SD-Branch combines best-in-class wireless, wired and WAN infrastructure with assurance and orchestration features to maximize both performance and operational efficiencies. Using SD-Branch, IT organizations enjoy cloud-based management to simplify the deployment, configuration, and maintenance of all branch locations
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 […]
