Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise SD-WAN platform deployed in branch offices, HQ/ data center sites, or public cloud enables customers to move to a broadband WAN at their own pace, whether site-by-site or via a hybrid WAN approach that leverages MPLS and broadband internet connectivity.
Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise is built upon an application-specific virtual WAN overlay model. Multiple overlays may be defined to abstract the underlying physical transport services from the virtual overlays, each supporting different QoS, transport, failover, and security policies, delivering the highest application performance and availability across any transport service.
Automated the integration with leading cloud security partner solutions to create seamless, secure access service edge (SASE) architecture. Aruba ClearPass integration augments application intelligence with identity and role-based policy, enabling zero trust dynamic segmentation.
Features
Business-driven Management with Policy Automation
- Aruba WAN Orchestrator, included with Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise SD-WAN platform, enables rapid and consistent implementation of network-wide business intent policies, reducing many of the repetitive and mundane manual steps required to configure and connect remote offices and branch locations.
- Aruba WAN Orchestrator monitors real-time throughput, loss, latency, and jitter across business intent overlays and the underlying transport services to proactively identify potential performance impacts.
- Directly launch Aruba WAN Orchestrator from Aruba Central.
- Aruba Central provides the ability to view the enterprise-wide SD-WAN topology, health status, and alarms of all Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise gateways in addition to other Aruba wired and wireless network devices.
Best-of-Breed Secure Access Service (SASE)
- Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise SD-WAN platform automates the integration with leading cloud security partners such as Zscaler™, Netskope©, Check Point®, Palo Alto Networks, McAfee®, and others to create a seamless secure access service edge (SASE) architecture.
- Automated orchestration,using a drag-and-drop interface, enables IT to configure consistent enterprise-wide security policies based on business requirements.
- Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise offers flexibility and freedom of choice in partnering up with leading cloud security partners.This integration supports local internet breakout to trusted SaaS applications and IaaS while enforcing security controls over traffic flow.
Consistent Security Policy Enforcement, Network-wide from Edge to Cloud
- Aruba ClearPass integration with Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise augments application intelligence with the user and device identity and role-based policy, enabling Zero Trust Dynamic Segmentation.
- Additional identity-based context enables consistent security policy enforcement that can be implemented network-wide, from edge to the cloud, while also accelerating troubleshooting and problem resolution.
- With the Aruba ClearPass Zero Trust security framework the network can identify and segment IoT devices and traffic at the network edge and isolate it from other traffic in the network. This new layer of context enables fine grained segmentation without the complexity of managing multiple VLANs.
Connect to Hundreds of SaaS Applications Using the Fastest Path Available
- With SaaS Express, Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise SD-WAN platform verifies that the application traffic is routed to the ideal SaaS entry point, even if it differs from the location's default.
- SaaS Express feature uses synthetic polling reinforced by actual packet observations, to continuously identify the best path to reach a set of well-known applications.
- SaaS Express always finds the best possible end-to-end path to improve the application performance regardless of how the customer chooses to breakout the SaaS traffic.
- Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise first packet application identification enables secure local internet breakout to the closest SaaS and IaaS doorsteps, delivering the highest end user quality of experience for applications wherever they are hosted.
