The Aruba EdgeConnect EC-XL-H-10G is a 1 U rack-mountable platform that serves to build an SD-WAN fabric using zero touch provisioning. It supports MPLS, 4G/LTE/5G and internet-based hybrid WAN transport services and a control plane that is automated and secured by the Aruba WAN Orchestrator centralized management software, providing policy-based virtual network segmentation and acceleration of on-premises and SaaS cloud applications.

Key features of Aruba EdgeConnect EC-XL-H-10G include high availability through power supply and storage redundancy, high performance PCIe-based flash network memory for application acceleration, and up to six (6) ports supporting 1/10Gbps SFP+, making it an ideal platform for Data Center and large hub environments with typical WAN bandwidth from 2 to 10 Gbps.

The HPE Aruba Networking 9100 Series Hybrid Gateway is a cloud-optimized edge appliance designed to extend enterprise services securely and seamlessly to large branch and small campus networks. This purpose-built high-performance edge appliance delivers Wi-Fi roaming, 24x7 reliability, and always-on connectivity - even during upgrades. Intelligent automation, AI insights, and unified infrastructure management, provided by HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS-10) and HPE Aruba Networking Central, help drive efficient IT operations.

The 9100 Series provides advanced wireless capabilities, intelligent routing with both wireless and wired tunnel orchestration, and strengthens security with automated and unified role-based policy enforcement for users and IoT across LAN, WAN and SD-WAN. This cloud-based edge appliance takes advantage of AOS-10 distributed software architecture and HPE Aruba Networking Central for greater scalability, security, and AI-powered optimization. Importantly, it adds the versatility for network services to be provided on-premises, allowing the 9100 Series to bring needed scalability to campus wireless gateway use cases or to optimize local routing and services at branch networks.

Ideal for large branch deployments and small campus networks, the 9100 Series is cloud-managed which reduces on-site IT requirements. It can operate in several modes: as an SD-Branch gateway for tunnel and route orchestration, security, and WAN management; as a powerful cloud-based wireless gateway; or VPN Concentrator (VPNC) for remote network and client VPN connectivity.

Enterprise-class performance

For small campuses or large branches that require high performance and 24x7 reliability, the 9100 Series is designed to scale to meet growing enterprise requirements. The modern cloud-native AOS-10 architecture provides the 9100 Series with scale to deliver higher performance than legacy controllers, supporting up to 4K APs and 10K clients with seamless roaming for latency sensitive applications. High-speed 10GbE fiber interfaces deliver up to 20Gbps throughput to minimize traffic bottlenecks.

High availability and resiliency

For always-on connectivity, the 9100 Series Hybrid Gateway supports redundancy, clustering, and live upgrades. The 9100 Series can be deployed with N+1 or NxN redundancy and multiple gateways can be clustered at each location supporting hitless failover that's critical for uninterrupted business continuity.

Dynamic segmentation and policy enforcement

Protecting and delivering network access across enterprise branch and campus sites is critical and complex. To improve security and simplify management, Dynamic Segmentation eliminates the time consuming and error-prone task of managing complex and static VLANs, ACLs, and subnets by dynamically assigning policies and keeping traffic secure and separated. IT can centrally configure with automatic enforcement of role-based policies that define proper access privileges for employees, guests, contractors, and other user groups- no matter where users connect on wired and WLANs. Additionally, the 9100 Series relies on a built-in Layer 4-7 stateful firewall known as the policy enforcement firewall (PEF). It streamlines policy management by working across WLAN, LAN, and WAN and policies are automatically enforced to simplify SSID, VLAN and policy management.

The HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect 10106 SD-WAN Gateway (EC-10106) provides high performance networking and secure SD-WAN capabilities in a compact and cost-effective form factor, ideally suited for small branch and remote office environments. It supports MPLS, 4G/5G/LTE and internet-based hybrid WAN transport services and a control plane that is automated and secured by the HPE Aruba Networking SD-WAN Orchestrator centralized management software. SD-WAN Orchestrator enables policy-based virtual network segmentation and acceleration of on-premise and SaaS cloud applications.

Key features of EdgeConnect 10106 includes support for 1G/10G Fiber connectivity, flexible combo ports, and integrated PoE support for devices up to 60W

The HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect EC-S-P is a compact form factor thin edge branch gateway appliance that serves to build an SD-WAN fabric using zero touch provisioning. It supports MPLS, 4G/5G/LTE, and internet based hybrid WAN data paths and a control plane that is automated and secured by the HPE Aruba Networking WAN Orchestrator centralized management software providing policy-based virtual network segmentation and acceleration of on-premises and SaaS cloud applications. Key features of the EdgeConnect Enterprise EC-S-P include compact size, quiet operations, flexible mounting options, 8 x RJ45 10/100/1000 Mbps ports plus 4 x 1/10 Gbps SFP+ ports (pluggable), and high availability through optional dual redundant power supply and built-in storage redundancy, making it an ideal appliance for large branch and remote office environments with typical WAN bandwidth from 10 Mbps to 3 Gbps.

The HPE Aruba Networking EC-M-H SD-WAN Gateway is a 1 U rack-mountable hub gateway platform that serves to build an SD-WAN fabric using zero touch provisioning. It supports MPLS, 4G/LTE/5G, internet-based hybrid WAN transport services, and a control plane that is automated and secured by the HPE Aruba Networking WAN Orchestrator centralized management software - providing policy-based virtual network segmentation and acceleration of on-premises and SaaS cloud applications.

Key features of EC-M-H include high-availability through power supply and storage redundancy, 8 x 1 GbE RJ45 ports along with 4 x 1/10 Gbps Short Reach (SR) or Long Reach (LR) fiber optical ports, making it an ideal platform for data center and large hub environments with typical WAN bandwidth from 50 Mbps to 5 Gbps (bidirectional).
