Aruba 9000 Series Gateways
Perfect for branch and small campus networks, the next generation 9000 Series Gateways can be used for SD-WAN capabilities in the branch or for enhanced Wi-Fi scalability and security.
Versatile, cost-effective branch networking, SD‑WAN, and security
Flexible use cases
The 9000 Series can be deployed as an SD-Branch gateway to support data center, public cloud, and SaaS routing. Or alternately, it can be used as a Wi-Fi gateway for greater scalability.
Scales to 2,048 users or client devices
Delivering 10x throughput and 80x the client density of typical SD-WAN devices, the 9000 Series is purpose-built to support high density and 6 Gbps of firewall throughput.
Integrated LTE connectivity
The 9004-LTE can use high-speed LTE as a dedicated or redundant WAN uplink for business continuity and greater flexibility.
Threat defense with IDS/IPS
To improve security, gateways deployed add role- and identity-based intrusion detection and prevention capabilities (IDS/IPS) on top of existing security features.
Policy Enforcement Firewall
A Layer 4-7 stateful firewall delivers 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.
