Aruba is proud to announce major
enhancements to its ArubaOS Mobility Software, extending the
company’s industry leadership position in scaling pervasive
enterprise Wireless LANs (WLANs).
With the new software release,
enterprise IT departments can significantly reduce the operational costs
associated with scaling dense campus WLANs, increase the resilience of
distributed branch office WLANs, and affordably deliver telecommuter WLAN
deployments. These new capabilities come at a critical time for the
market, as customers are moving toward wireless as their primary network
access method and scaling their mobility deployments to provide pervasive
coverage.
Aruba’s new mobility software
scales enterprise WLANs by delivering major new enhancements to the
mobile edge architecture. For the first time, enterprise IT will be able
to deliver
| • |
AAA FastConnect™, a new capability supported on all
mobility controllers delivers user connection rates ten times faster than
competitivealternatives. This enables consistently fast connect times
and ensures easier integration with existing back-end AAA services with
increased resilience of WLAN connections to ensure high uptimes. |
| • |
VLAN Pooling™ for flexible, non-disruptive design and
provisioning of campus WLANs |
| • |
Self-configuring mobility controllers for zero-touch branch WLAN
provisioning |
| • |
Scalable, centralized
management for thousands of distributed branch WLANs |
| • |
Affordable, secure WLANs for
telecommuters and nomadic remote offices |

Aruba Networks has joined the Juniper
Networks J-Partner Solutions Alliances program, enabling joint customers
to extend their investment in Juniper’s security products across
their mobile workforces. The joint collaboration ensures that Aruba
mobility controllers are pre-tested for interoperability with
Juniper’s firewall/VPN devices and AAA/802.1X solutions to save enterprises
the operational costs of integrating multiple systems. The two companies
have already signed their first customer, McCarran International Airport
in Las Vegas.

Impact to
existing customers:
| -1. |
Any customer who has either an ESI
license installed, or an Advanced AAA license installed, will get the
full functionality of both after upgrading to 2.5.3 |
| -2. |
License management inside the controller will recognize only a single license
called ESI. If both ESI and AAA are installed, the controller will still
display just a single license |
| -3. |
No impact at all to customers
without either license installed
If you regularly order the Advanced AAA license, please begin ordering
ESI instead to get the same functionality. |
