    This is a serious question, why is no aruba engineer answering this question?  The datasheets do not elaborate any difference at all.   Can somone please answer this question.  Thank you in advance for a quality answer.  ;)

    I am sure that if you reach out to your Aruba SE or partner, you will get an answer. You may not necessarily get one on this forum

    Just to throw one more datapoint in the mix - I had a pair of 7240 locals running around 1200 APs.  On 6.4 code, they were around 40% to 50% memory utilization.

     

    After upgrading to 8.1, though, they shot up to > 90%.  I took immediate advantage of the trade in/upgrade option, and the additional memory in the XM model put me back under 50% again.
