Infrastructure Management Equipment

Multivendor, on-premises campus network management

Aruba AirWave is a versatile network management system (NMS) for enterprise campus wired, wireless, and remote connectivity. Supporting a wide range of features such as zero-touch provisioning, enhanced client visibility, traffic analysis, reporting and multivendor integration, AirWave is ideally suited to manage Aruba and third-party network devices.

Deployed as a purpose-built hardware or virtual machine image, each AirWave server supports up to 4,000 network devices (access points, switches, and controllers).

For organizations with the need for more flexible services, higher scale and performance, learn about the next generation management capabilities of Aruba Central, an AI-powered network operations, analytics and security solution that can be deployed in the cloud or on-premises.

STREAMLINED CONFIGURATION AND DEPLOYMENT

AirWave utilizes configuration groups, assigned templates, and step by step workflows to simplify device configuration. Entire config files can be imported, compared, assigned and archived. Modifying and using smaller segments of configuration files across groups of devices is also supported.

These capabilities allow IT to quickly add, modify and deploy devices across distributed locations, while saving time and minimizing mistakes. Aruba's Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) can be used to automatically push configuration files to devices to further simplify the deployment process. Integrated auditing is also provided for security and change management.

CONTACT TRACING AND LOCATION TRACING

Historical Wi-Fi location data from AirWave can be exported, analyzed, and displayed using Aruba Central or a third-party data analysis tool. This includes simple search queries can be run on a per-client basis to identify nearby clients and contact duration. This is intended to expediently provide data for appropriate enterprise and public health entities to manage and counteract potential COVID-19 outbreaks.

This document details the specifications for the Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences (CMX) 10.0 and newer application running on the virtual and physical versions of the Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE). Cisco CMX is a smart Wi-Fi application suite that uses the Cisco wireless infrastructure to locate smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices and deliver relevant services to them. With it, your organization can directly serve personalized content to users.

What's New with CMX 10.2

• Presence Analytics: CMX now supports presence analytics. Because presence does not require x,y coordinates, a CMX presence deployment can be completed in less than 30 minutes.

• Social Media Analytics - Track to social media postings.

• Automatic Report Generation by Industry: Select your industry and CMX automatically generates reports most relevant to that industry.

• Cisco Hyperlocation Solution: CMX now supports location accuracy to under one meter.

• Cisco CMX FastLocate: Improved for greater location refresh rate, FastLocate is also available for access points without the Cisco Wireless Security Module.

• CMX Connect Portals and Templates: Creating a custom, captive portal has never been easier with more available templates, images, and language support. You can create a customer portal within minutes.

The Cisco® Application Policy Infrastructure Controller - Enterprise Module (APIC-EM) is our software-defined networking (SDN) controller for enterprise networks (in the campus or branch and the WAN). It delivers an elastic platform for policy-based automation that simplifies and abstracts the network. It can enable transformation of business intent to network control. The platform is built to host multiple, easy-to-use SDN applications that use open, northbound representational state transfer (REST) APIs and drive core network automation solutions. The platform also supports a number of southbound protocols that enable it to communicate with the breadth of network devices customers already have in place, and extend SDN benefits to both greenfield and brownfield environments, immediately from the start. The goal of the APIC-EM platform is to power next-generation SDN applications that will dramatically lower operational expenditures and increase network agility to align with business needs.

The APIC-EM platform supports both wired and wireless enterprise networks across the WAN, and access and wireless infrastructures. It offers superior investment protection, and works with both existing and new infrastructure. The APIC-EM platform delivers many significant benefits. For example, it:

• Creates an intelligent, open, programmable network with open APIs
• Can help customers save time, resources, and costs through advanced automation services
• Can transform business-intent policies into dynamic network configuration
• Provides a single point for network-wide automation and control
