Aruba Webinars

By 2022, 50% of new network deployments will be managed via cloud-based platforms, as IT seeks to improve operational agility and deliver new services faster. What else is driving this shift to the cloud, and how can you prepare your network?

The world is shifting from traditional data centers to “centers of data”. Enterprise data centers are being augmented by distributed and virtualized data centers, extending out toward where data is processed at an increasing number of edge data centers.

Billions of everyday consumer and enterprise devices use radio to communicate. It is important for security professionals to understand where these devices are and create a geofence boundary to limit where they are allow to go or not allow to be. In high-security, you can set up an automated enforcement when your client device crosses the RF geofence boundary and gets a restricted access policy.

Join us for Aruba Central and the Magic of AIOps as Aruba experts share how built in AI helps with Day 0 to Day N management tasks and frees you up to do the impossible.
