SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Aruba Networks today announced the release of ArubaOS 3.1, a new version of the operating system and application engine for all Aruba mobility controllers, and Mobility Management System (MMS) 2.0, the next-generation suite of applications for planning and managing mobility networks. New features and capabilities of ArubaOS and MMS are designed to provide enterprises with a global mobility domain that is scalable, multi-service, integrated with existing security infrastructure, and intelligently managed. Core to delivering these are new features including:

Virtual Mobile Networks — Combines the benefits of centralized control

with localized management capabilities

Management Contexts — Enables delegation of management rights for

various physical equipment and service to appropriate administrators

Bandwidth Control — Resolves the issue of slow clients and allows

per-SSID service level agreements

Voice Management and Control — Expands scalability and performance and

provides detailed monitoring and management for Voice over Wi-Fi (VoFi)

services

Security Services Integration — Allows easy integration of existing

security devices and infrastructure with the Aruba mobility network

The Aruba Mobile Edge Architecture is designed to deliver secure mobility beyond basic wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity, providing consistent network services to a user at headquarters and wherever the user roams, including branch locations, partner sites and home offices. Anywhere the enterprise user has access to the Internet, Aruba can deliver seamless mobility on the corporate network, complete with user-specific policies, multi-service application delivery, and more. Unlike traditional networks, mobility requires that security and network service policies are tied to a user’s identity. ArubaOS 3.1 and MMS 2.0 enable this user-centric approach to be deployed and managed on a larger scale with greater ease and broader support for integration of new services than prior versions.
