Aruba Networks Applications
Secure Enterprise Mesh

Aruba's Secure Enterprise Mesh technology enables a converged data, voice, and video network to be deployed or expanded without installing any network wiring. As an extension to Aruba's WLAN and security solutions, Secure Enterprise Mesh technology is ideal for outdoor enterprise environments and indoor locations that are tough to wire. Both indoor and outdoor deployments are supported through the same infrastructure, without requiring disparate solutions that are separately managed and secured for each area. This makes it easy to design, deploy, and manage a secure enterprise network that contains mesh. Aruba's Secure Enterprise Mesh is designed for business critical applications with an emphasis on security and reliability including mesh clusters for high availability and client-to-core security.

Aruba's Secure Enterprise Mesh solution has several key distinguishing characteristics related to security, reliability, performance, management and ease of installation. Some of these benefits include:

• Full integration with all existing Aruba services. No need for dedicated Mesh hardware - works on all Aruba APs and Controllers
• Securely extends Aruba services to areas difficult to cable
• Central policy definition and management, campus-wide roaming
• Mesh cluster technology for immediate recovery for both wired or mesh related failures
• Cooperative Control for mesh link path optimization
• Client-to-core security over mesh as well as mesh link security
• Easy to deploy - best in class visualization for management and troubleshooting
• Indoor and outdoor deployments for data, voice and video applications
