ARUBA 7000 SERIES MOBILITY CONTROLLER
Extend the digital workplace to branch oces
Aruba 7000 series Mobility Controllers optimize
cloud services and secure enterprise applications
for SD-WAN at branch oces, while reducing the
cost and complexity of deploying and managing
the network.
Aruba 7000 Series Mobility Controllers optimize cloud
services and secure enterprise applications for hybrid WAN
at branch oces, while reducing the cost and complexity of
deploying and managing the network
The 7000 Series Mobility Controllers combine wireless,
wired and hybrid WAN services, support up to 64 APs and
24 Ethernet ports, and feature integrated WAN compression,
health checks, zero-touch conguration, and policy-based
routing. The 7000 series also unify policy management with
third-party security services, making it simpler and more
secure to create a digital workplace experience in head-end
and branch locations.
Supporting over 4,000 users, the 7000 series per forms stateful
rewall policy enforcement at up to 8 Gbps. Secure IP tunnels
protect WAN trac across the public and private transpor t
network to the cloud and data center. Additional features include
integrated rewall, secure VPN, 3G/4G LTE cellular failover, threat
management with content ltering, and local bridging, based on
end-user application or IT trac forwarding requirements.
The 7000 series suppor ts Aruba’s Next-Generation Mobility
Firewall with AppRF ™ technology, which continuously
evaluates app usage and performance for over 1,500 apps,
including cloud and web-based services like Sk ype for
Business, SharePoint, Box, Salesforce.com and apps that
are hidden as encrypted or web trac. It then automatically
makes conguration changes in real-time to ensure optimal
bandwidth, priority, and network paths in branch and remote
oces to safeguard the best possible user experience
A real-time dashboard makes it easy to identif y and correct
Quality-of-Service tags, load-balance specic applications
across APs, adjust RF management and roaming parameters
for latency-sensitive apps, and apply bandwidth contracts
per app or application type.
Integration with cloud services such as Palo Alto
Networks GlobalProtect and Microsoft Skype for Business
make extending security and QoS for mobile unied
communications easier and more reliable across the
distributed enterprise, while reducing local complexity
The 7000 series handles other enterprise-critical capabilities
like authentication, encryption, IPv4 and IPv6 ser vices,
Adaptive Radio Management™, ClientMatch™, and RFProtect™
spectrum analysis and wireless intrusion protection.
The 7000 series can be deployed in minutes with zero-touch
provisioning via cloud-based Aruba Activate™, enabling IT to
deploy branch locations simpler and more eciently.
PRODUCT SUMMARY
• 7005 Mobility Controller is a compact, fanless entry-level
branch platform that can be powered by a power-over-
Ethernet (PoE) switch.
• 7008 Mobility Controller is a compact, fanless entry-
level branch platform with 8 integrated PoE and PoE+
switch ports for small branch locations with some PoE
requirements
• 7010 Mobility Controller is designed for mid-sized branch
deployments that require several PoE and PoE+ switch
ports.
• 7024 Mobility Controller is designed for mid-sized branch
oces that require up to 24 switch ports for unied wired
and wireless access.
• 7030 Mobility Controller is ideal for mid- to large- sized
branch deployments that require unprecedented scale
and performance.
