    ClearPass Universal profiler: Automatically identify anything that connects

     

    Aruba’s ClearPass Universal Profiler is a standalone virtual appliance that can be deployed and running in minutes. It gives granular visibility into all connected devices, even controllers and switches. A customizable dashboard lets you see categories and families of devices and individual attributes for everything connected – a critical feature in a BOYD and IoT world.

     

    Aruba ClearPass Universal Profiler is designed for those organisations that are not ready for a complete NAC solution, or for remote or restricted areas where NAC has not been deployed. It is available to fit any organisation’s scalability needs.
