ESP = Edge Service Platform is cloud based microservice architecture combining AIOps, Zero Trust Security and infrastructure (WLAN, LAN and SD-WAN) cloud-native single pane of glass management and monitoring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aruba ESP is comparable to Cisco Meraki and Juniper Mist which are also cloud-based microservice architectures providing similar LAN, WLAN and SD-WAN services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aruba ESP can be divided to service, policy and infrastructure layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Service Layer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Aruba Center is the single pane of glass for Aruba ESP, hence the “key” component for Aruba ESP providing the service layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aruba Central is used to provision, provide visibility and control to access points, switches and sd-wan gateways. Guest wifi access, location based presence analytics, connectivity health\/analytics optional services can be enabled in Aruba Central by service token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Policy Layer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Policy layer in Aruba ESP is provided by Clearpass AAA server and access points and gateways have build-in policy enforcement firewall (PEF), which they can utilize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infrastructure Layer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Infrastructure layer is the actual network device layer, hence includes the access points, switches and gateways connected and managed by Aruba Central. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Licensing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Device management subscription is needed per managed device. Service subscription is needed per managed device AND per optional service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example an access point with optional guest wifi, location analytics and connectivity health are wanted for 3 years, following licenses are needed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 x 3 year device management subscription <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 x 3 year service subscription<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Note! You can move free subscriptions between managed devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
