Aruba 800-4 Controller Wireless Access Point Wireless LAN Controller

The Aruba 800 Controller is a full-featured wireless LAN controllerthat aggregates up to 16 access points (APs) and deliverscentralized control and security for wireless deployments.The Aruba 800 delivers solid performance and military-gradeencryption through dedicated control, network and encryptionprocessors.

Intended for small branch office wireless deployments, the Aruba 800 is easily installed without disrupting the existingwired network. The Aruba 800 acts as the head-end portion of Aruba’s virtual enterprise network architecture, whichuses central controllers in the data center to manage complex and processing-intensive management and securityfunctions. Edge services are virtualized and implemented in cost-effective APs at the network edge, which move usertraffic to data center controllers through secure IP tunnels over a public or private transport network. Running theArubaOS operating system, the Aruba 800 comes standard with advanced authentication, encryption, wireless radiomanagement, secure enterprise wireless mesh and L2/L3 networking features. Optional ArubaOS software modulesdeliver additional functionality, including policy enforcement firewall, VPN server, remote access gateway and wirelessintrusion prevention.

Controller clustering and centralized management allow large enterprise networks with hundreds of controllers tobe managed and maintained with minimal staff overhead. A designated master controller can manage multiple localcontrollers, or for larger networks the AirWave Management Platform provides unprecedented visibility and control forthe IT staff.
