Aruba 9000 Series Gateways provide high-performance
networking, SD-WAN and security functionality in compact
and cost-effective form factors. Ideally suited for branch and
small campus networks, the 9000 Series Gateways serve a
key role within Aruba’s SD-Branch solution, which unifies
WLAN, LAN, SD-WAN and security for distributed enterprises.
The 9000 Series can be easily configured and managed using
Aruba Central, a cloud-based network operations, assurance
and security platform. Onsite deployment is accomplished
with a simple mobile installer application.
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.
ARUBA 9000 SERIES GATEWAYS: ACDX
Versatile, cost-effective branch networking, SD‑WAN, and security
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. For more information, refer to the
ArubaOS datasheet.
