Overview:

The Aruba 9000 Series Gateways are ideally suited for branch deployments both large and small, and serve as network appliances for SD-WAN and security. Cellular connectivity is also available. Multiple gateways can be grouped as a cluster in each branch for high availability and resiliency.

The 9000 Series is configured and managed via Aruba Central, a simple-to-use cloud-based network operations, assurance and security platform. An optional mobile installer app simplifies on-site deployments to optimize IT resources.

Designed with the flexibility to support the most demanding branch environments - the 9000 Series Gateways provide connectivity for up to 80 times the maximum client density and up to 10 times the maximum throughput of typical SD-WAN appliances.


Key Features

  • Cloud-managed and purpose-built for branch SDWAN requirements
  • Up to 10 times the performance and 80 times the client density of typical SD-WAN appliances
  • Unified policy enforcement for wired and wireless traffic through Aruba Dynamic Segmentation
  • Visibility into over 3,000 applications with no added hardware
  • Integrated LTE option available

SD-WAN management

Simple SD-WAN management with great scalability
Deploy SD-WAN using a simple mobile app and provide up to 10 times the performance of typical SD-WAN appliances with a maximum 6Gbps of throughput.

Dynamic Segmentation

Dynamic Segmentation for network traffic enforcement
Supports simple to use mobile and IoT device policy enforcement for wired and wireless.

Built for IoT and the cloud

Built for IoT and the cloud
Supports up to 2,048 devices using cloud access, which is up to 80 times greater density than average SD-WAN appliances.


Features

HIGH PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY

For distributed enterprises with increasing performance and bandwidth needs, the 9000 Series is designed with scale and flexibility, and equipped with plenty of horsepower at a competitive price-point.

The 9000 Series provides connectivity for up to 2,048 users or client devices at up to 6 Gbps of firewall throughput. These capabilities are up to 80 times the client density and 10 times the maximum throughput of typical SD-WAN appliances.

For enhanced resiliency and high availability, the multiple 9000 Series can be clustered together at each branch.

IOT AND INTEGRATION READY

The 9000 Series includes flexible connectivity options:

  • 4xGbE - 9004
  • 12xGbE (6xPoE+) - 9012
  • USB 3.0 ports
  • IoT Radio that supports BLE technologies
  • Integrated LTE connectivity - 9004-LTE

The gateway also uses integrated device profiling to improve client visibility, and works with Aruba Central, ClearPass Policy Manager or ClearPass Device Insight to provide advanced user, device and IoT policy management and insights.

SD-WAN DEPLOYMENT

For organizations that are now managing multiple WAN connections, 9000 Series Gateways can be connected to Aruba's SD-WAN fabric right out of the box. SD-WAN is a rich WAN management solution that is used to simplify management of traffic entering and exiting branch sites. Role-based intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS), Dynamic Segmentation, and stateful firewall deliver integrated security requirements. Please refer to the SD-WAN datasheet for more information.

BRANCH AND CAMPUS DEPLOYMENT

9000 Series Gateways can also be re-purposed as Mobility Controllers to provide WLAN and LAN services such as Dynamic Segmentation, stateful firewall and Live Upgrades. In this mode, the 9000 Series cannot simultaneously be used for SD-WAN.

UNIFIED POLICY ENFORCEMENT

To simplify and secure wired and wireless network access, the 9000 Series Gateways are a pivotal component of Aruba Dynamic Segmentation. Wired and wireless traffic can be tunneled to a Gateway, which then consistently provides policy enforcement based on user role (e.g. guest, contractor, employee), device type, application and network location.

MICROSOFT FEATURES

Aruba's integration with Microsoft enables unique application intelligence that detects Microsoft 365 (Office 365), Teams, and Skype for Business traffic and then prioritizes them over less critical applications. Through management interfaces on Aruba Central, ArubaOS, and Aruba AirWave, IT can visualize call quality metrics such as MOS, latency, jitter, and packet loss for additional insights.

ENHANCED CAPABILITIES

Policy Enforcement Firewall

The 9000 Series includes a Layer 4-7 stateful firewall with PEF to deliver a consistent user, device, and application awareness across WLAN, LAN, and WAN. When deployed alongside Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, policies are automatically enforced to simplify SSID, VLAN and policy management.

Threat Defense with IDS/IPS

To improve security against a growing attack surface, gateways deployed in SD-WAN mode add role and identitybased intrusion detection and prevention capabilities (IDS/IPS) on top of existing security features

Application visibility and control

Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology, which is a component of PEF, consistently evaluates and optimizes performance and usage policies for over 3,000 applications. This ensures the highest possible Quality of Service (QoS) - even for encrypted traffic.

High Availability

The 9000 Series can be deployed with N+1 or NxN redundancy, and can also join a controller cluster when deployed as a Mobility Controller managed by Mobility Master. This increases performance and scale for enhanced resiliency.

Simple to use, mobile provisioning

Allows on-site personnel to use a mobile app to onboard gateways. A central IT team can verify device location, licenses, and status with no additional steps required. Available for iOS and Android.

Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC)

Visualize and troubleshoot networks based on call quality metrics such as MOS, latency jitter and packet loss. Supported applications include: Teams, Skype for Business, Wi-Fi Calling, FaceTime, SIP, Jabber, Spark and more.
