"The powerful features of ClearPass have made possible a host of benefits we did not even consider at the time of evaluation. After meeting and exceeding our expectations for NAC, ClearPass enabled us to implement Wi-Fi self-registration and onboarding, Wireless Security Policy Management, BYOD support and guest management."
"Our advanced and flexible Aruba network gives us the ability to layer on applications and solutions that differentiate us from all of the other properties in the market."
“There should no limit on how the network is used, but we need clear policies in place for who can do what.”
"Before AirWave, when someone had a connectivity problem, we didn't have an easy way to prove that the issue was not with the Aruba AP. We would have to invest a lot of time and effort looking for a problem that wasn't there. Now, we can pinpoint client problems immediately."
"With ClearPass, we can easily place users and devices into specific roles as we move to district-wide student BYOD. This adds wireless security features that we lacked, previously."
"Our infrastructure needed to be designed so these new devices could be used by students and teachers,and managed appropriately."
"Using Aruba’s wireless networks in the new seven-story student residences will eliminate roughly 1,050 Ethernet ports and fourteen 80-port switches per building, saving roughly $250,000 per building and 25 metric tons of carbon emissions per year."
"With Aruba, we've gained everything we set out to gain, and we're extremely pleased."
"Aruba gives me everything I need: security, centralized management, and ease of deployment and maintenance.There's no limit to what we can do with the Aruba system."
"It’s a huge advantage to us that AirWave supports both the Aironet and Airespace products, so we can migrate from one architecture to another without sacrificing any essential management functions."
"Using a standard approach to the deployment and tools like AirWave allows us to increase the size of our network without increasing staff."
"Seven years ago we were quite late in university terms putting in wireless, but not so many people were using it. Then three years ago we saw an explosion in the usage. We have a huge number of students with smartphones or tablets. it went from one wireless device between three or four people to three devices per person. Now everyone uses it students, staff, visitors and so on and they expect coverage in every corner."
"Network rightsizing with Aruba wireless LANs reduced our wiring closet refresh costs by more than 70%, and will save approximately US $1.4 million dollars as we complete the second phase of our campus-wide network expansion."
"The Aruba platform is very important to us. It controls all of our remote and wireless access. It is a critical part of our operation."
"AirWave is quite intuitive. You can click almost anything and get to the information you need. Our staff can put in little pieces of what they know and find the rest of the pieces they need to solve a problem."
