HPE Aruba Virtual Mobility Controller Policy Enforcement Firewall

Aruba Virtual Mobility Controller (VMC) is deployed as a Virtual Machine and runs on ArubaOS 8. It provides a flexible deployment alternative to hardware mobility controllers. This virtual controller also provides plenty of capacity and speed for BYOD and IEEE 802.11ac devices for both campus or branch deployments. VMC can be deployed as standalone or managed by the Aruba Mobility Master where it can support up to 100K users. A VMC deployment can benefit customers from operational cost savings as it can reside with other VMs sharing the same existing virtualization infrastructure.

The Aruba Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) provides context-based controls to enforce application-layer security and prioritization.

With PEF, IT can enforce network access policies that specify who may access the network, with which mobile devices and which areas of the network they may access.

AppRF is a PEF feature that is designed to give network administrators insight into the applications that are running on their network, and who is using them. WebCC is an optional PEF subscription feature that includes URL filtering, IP reputation, and geolocation filtering.

Working with Aruba Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology, which optimizes Wi-Fi client behavior and makes sure that APs stay clear of RF interference, PEF delivers intelligent mobile security based on its knowledge of mobile Apps, devices and malicious URLs.
