    Hello,

    have customer running some Cisco gear for VPN towards HQ. Cca 80 offices, small branches, from 5 to 15 users. Right now there is a need to move towards solution which can be easy managed. Customer looking at some SD-WAN solutions and also asked us to see what is avaliable from HPE side in this area. So, what would be best  proposal for this desing in terms of redundancy at HQ (dual internet links) and having braches with one link. One of desires is to have local filtering towards internet (web filter, antivirus) and only business traffic goes towards HQ. QoS is must here. 

    Tnx,

    imadam

    AOS 8 has support for "branch-in-a-box". Where the 7000 series controller can act as router / vpn gateway / waas / wireless controller. Also with full support for ZTP over Activate.

    Correct... 70xx series at branches using AOS8 and bigger 72xx series serving as VPN concentrators in your DC´s DMZ. Management is done with the Mobility Master.

     

    You can find the user guide here:

    but I recommend reaching out to your nearest Aruba team and have a chat with them about this

    Where IMC Enterprise comes to play or what is future of Aruba management tools since it doesn't make sense to have few tools for same purpose within portfolio?

     

    Talked to HPE Presales and they proposed IMC instead of Mobility Master.
