Hpe Aruba MC-VA-250 RWF1 Controller E-LTU Software

Aruba MC-VA-250 RWF1 Controller E-LTU.



Elevate your network management capabilities with the HPE Aruba MC-VA-250 RWF1 Controller E-LTU, a powerful software-based solution that delivers the full enterprise-grade functionality of a hardware Mobility Controller in a flexible virtual appliance. Designed for medium-sized enterprises and distributed branch networks, this Electronic License to Use (E-LTU) allows you to leverage your existing virtualization infrastructure (such as VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V) to deploy a robust, centralized WLAN management platform. The MC-VA-250 simplifies network operations, enhances security, and optimizes wireless performance for up to 250 Aruba Access Points (APs), all without the need for additional physical hardware.

By centralizing traffic engineering, IP services, and policy controls, the Aruba Virtual Mobility Controller ensures a consistent and secure user experience across your entire wireless network. It is powered by the advanced ArubaOS, which provides comprehensive visibility and control over users, devices, and applications. This solution is ideal for organizations seeking to reduce their hardware footprint, streamline deployment, and lower the total cost of ownership while scaling their network infrastructure efficiently.

Key Benefits

* Optimized Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Eliminate the need for a dedicated physical appliance by running the controller on your existing virtual servers, reducing capital expenditure, power consumption, and rack space.
* Centralized Management & Control: Gain a single point of control for configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting your entire Aruba WLAN, simplifying administrative tasks and ensuring consistent policy enforcement.
* Enterprise-Grade Security: Fortify your network with a suite of integrated security features, including a powerful stateful firewall, role-based access control, and wireless intrusion protection to defend against evolving threats.
* Enhanced Performance and Reliability: Utilize Arub´s patented Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology to automatically optimize Wi-Fi performance by minimizing interference and dynamically allocating resources for a superior user experience.
* Flexible and Scalable Deployment: Easily deploy and scale your network capacity as your business grows. The virtual appliance format offers unparalleled flexibility for deployment in data centers or private cloud environments.

Main Features

* ArubaOS Software: Runs the same powerful and feature-rich operating system as Arub´s hardware controllers.
* Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF): Provides integrated, identity-based security with deep packet inspection and a Layer 7-aware stateful Firewall to enforce granular access policies for users and devices.
* Adaptive Radio Management (ARM): Ensures fair airtime access and a high-performance RF environment for all connected clients by intelligently managing radio channels and power.
* RFProtect (RFP): Offers advanced spectrum analysis and wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS) capabilities to detect, classify, and mitigate rogue APs and wireless threats.
* Zero-Touch Provisioning: Drastically simplifies the deployment of access points at remote or branch locations, allowing for plug-and-play installation without onsite IT staff.
* Secure Guest Access: Features a fully customizable captive portal for guest and visitor access, with options for self-registration, social logins, and sponsorship workflows.
* High Availability: Supports N+1 or N:N redundancy with live, in-service upgrades and hitless failover to ensure maximum network uptime and business continuity.
