Hi, by deploying Aruba Central. What on prem hardware can we reduce (controller, Airwave, Mobility Master, Clearpass server) ?
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.
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
