HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Controller Virtual Appliances

HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Controller Virtual Appliances (VA) improve WLAN performance by centralizing all control functionality for individual HPE Aruba Networking access points (APs) to improve AP utilization and client roaming. They also improve security by ensuring all traffic is encapsulated in GRE tunnels for complete encryption from AP to Controller.

Managed by the HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Conductor, VAs are ideally suited for campus and branch environments with existing or growing virtualization infrastructure. Running the same HPE Aruba Networking OS network operating system as a 7000 Series or 7200 Series Mobility Controller, the VA can enforce centrally managed policies to ensure a consistent employee and guest experience. It can also be deployed with zero-touch provisioning to simplify deployment.

The VA manages up to 16,000 concurrent users and 1,000 access points, and can be installed on VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and open-source KVM instances. As campus and branch requirements change, additional VAs, memory and compute resources

What's New

• Utilize your existing virtualization infrastructure to deploy enterprise WLAN at scale without purchasing additional hardware.
• Manage up to 16,000 concurrent users and 1,000 access points with the same functionality as the physical mobility controllers.
• Support for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7, WPA3, Enhanced Open, and existing standards.

• Easily centralize the configuration of role-based access controls with built-in policy enforcement firewall for Dynamic Segmentation.
• Includes built-in AI-powered wireless RF optimization and provides seamless L2/L3 roaming for thousands of users or client devices.
• Simplify deployment using Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP).

Notes:

- The HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Controller VA can be scaled by installing multiple instances of MC-VA-1K.

o 4x instances of MC-VA-1K install can scale up to 4,000 APs and 64,000 clients

o 6x instances of MC-VA-1K install can scale up to 6,000 APs and 96,000 clients
