Overview



HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Controller Virtual Appliances offer the functionality of a hardware controller in a cost-effective virtualized environment. They leverage your existing virtualization infrastructure and offer the same functionality as the physical mobility controllers to deliver network services that maximize Wi-Fi performance. The HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Controller Virtual Appliance is deployed as a virtual machine (VM), residing with other VMs sharing the same existing virtualization infrastructure for operational saving. Running on HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS-8), these virtual appliances can be managed by HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Conductor Software for higher scale and deployed using Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP).

What is new supporting point:
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).




At-a-glance



  • As campus and branch requirements change, additional HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Controller Virtual Appliances, memory, and compute resources can be added.
    It simplifies operations by sharing licenses from a global licensing pool.
    Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) reduces operational costs and avoids provisioning errors.

  • Dynamic Segmentation for granular user, device, and application policies across access points and network switches means there is no need to configure separate VLANs, ACLs, and subnets.
    Enabled by the PEF license, wired and wireless user and application traffic can be tunneled to a stateful firewall on the VMC through GRE tunnels for inspection. Policies are then enforced based on user role, device type, application and location.
    Application visibility is enabled by the PEF license, with Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology evaluating and enhancing performance and quality of service policies for over 3,000 applications.
    Support for WPA3 brings stronger encryption and authentication methods, while Enhanced Open brings automatic encryption security to open networks.

  • Manages up to 16,000 concurrent users and 1,000 access points and offers the same functionality as the physical mobility controllers and can be managed by the HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Conductor Software for higher scale.
    HPE Aruba Networking AirMatch automates network-wide RF channels, channel width, and transmits power to enhance the highest density environments.
    Seamless Layer 2 and Layer 3 roaming enables users to roam between floors, buildings or across the entire network without any re-authentication, change to their IP address, or loss of firewall state.
    As part of a controller cluster managed by the HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Conductor Software, the Mobility Controller Virtual Appliances helps enhance scale, improves reliability, and enables live upgrades to reduce maintenance windows.
    Can be installed on VMware ESXi™, Microsoft Hyper-V, and open-source KVM instances.
