What is the maximum number of mobile devices the HPE Aruba JW830A can support?
The Aruba 7200 series Mobility Controller supports up to 32,000 mobile devices, making it ideal for large enterprise deployments with extensive BYOD and 802.11ac device requirements. This capacity is backed by a next-generation central processor with up to eight cores and four threads each, providing the equivalent of 32 virtual CPUs for handling demanding wireless traffic.
What are the network connectivity options available on the JW830A?
The JW830A features 4x 10GBase-x (SFP/SFP+) ports and 2x dual media ports that support either 10/100/1000BASE-T or SFP connectivity. This flexible port configuration allows you to integrate the controller into both copper and fiber-based network infrastructures, providing high-speed uplink capacity for your wireless network.
How does the AppRF technology on the Aruba 7200 series improve network visibility?
AppRF provides unique application-level visibility that allows IT teams to see applications by user, including popular web-based applications like Facebook and Box. This granular visibility enables better network management, policy enforcement, and bandwidth optimization across your wireless infrastructure.
What firewall performance can I expect from the JW830A controller?
The JW830A performs stateful firewall policy enforcement at 40 Gbps, delivering enterprise-grade security without compromising network performance. This throughput capacity ensures that security policies can be applied consistently across all 32,000 supported mobile devices without creating bottlenecks.
Is the HPE Aruba JW830A compliant with government and security standards?
Yes, the JW830A is FIPS and TAA compliant, making it suitable for deployments in regulated environments and government organizations. The controller includes one 350W AC power supply and is available with restricted regulatory domain configuration for US-only deployments.
How much memory does the JW830A include and why does it matter?
The JW830A comes with extended memory featuring 16GB of DRAM, which is essential for handling the processing demands of 32,000 concurrent mobile devices and running advanced features like AppRF application visibility. This substantial memory capacity ensures smooth performance even under peak load conditions with multiple simultaneous wireless connections and policy enforcement operations.
