Top 5 Reasons You Should Be Using Aruba Central in 2022

There are a lot of great reasons to use Aruba Central if you aren’t yet. Here are the top 5:

1. Control your network from anywhere: Aruba Central makes it easy for your IT teams to have complete and comprehensive control over your network across all of your business’s sites. This is particularly useful for companies that have employees working across multiple sites or geographical locations — something that is becoming more commonplace than ever as businesses of all sizes adopt new work policies in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the move away from daily on-premises work.

    

2. Streamline your network operations: One of the biggest challenges with adopting any new system is having to learn to navigate a variety of new, complicated applications and dashboards. With Aruba Central that problem becomes a thing of the past. The platform offers quick and easy access to the data you need in order to manage, analyze and maintain your networks, clients, and devices — and there’s no need to learn to use any tricky applications or dashboards to access it.

    

3. Access advanced analytics and security assurance: Aruba Central offers continuous monitoring and AI-based analytics that deliver real-time visibility and insight into what’s happening in your network. The platform also lets you create comprehensive alerts that cover everything from device connectivity, to network health, to user account activity. That means your IT team doesn’t have to work around the clock to make sure they don’t miss something — they’ll be informed right away if there’s a problem that needs their attention.

    

4. Automate your IoT and mobile device security: It’s easy for IT teams to get bogged down when there are too many devices on a network that they need to keep secure. With Aruba Central, that doesn’t need to happen. Because of Aruba Central’s easy integration with Aruba ClearPass, device security becomes simple and painless. Once a device connects to your network, Aruba ClearPass automatically identifies and categorizes it, applying your predetermined enforcement rules automatically.

    

5. You can deploy Aruba Central with ease: At a time when IT teams are already often short staffed and overwhelmed, the idea of adding a new service that you need to set up and maintain can seem daunting. But with Aruba Central, there’s no special management hardware for you to install or maintain. The deployment process is quick and easy, leaving your IT teams free to focus on bigger problems.
