    Aruba Central can be used instead of Airwave appliance. but it will not replace ClearPass, MM or any controllers.

    However if you deploy Aruba instant APs, then you dont need any physcial controllers.

    Hi thanks for the answer :D
    So still no direct competition with Meraki solution. We have project that compete with Meraki, and the client is asking for cloud controller like Meraki one from Aruba.

    Aruba Central is a Cloud based mgmt and is currently used for Aruba Instant APs (IAP). IAPs do not require controllers, as soon as tey are on the same subnet or vlan, they form a cluster and one of them takes the role of a controller
