Aruba AirWave is a versatile network management system (NMS) for enterprise campus wired, wireless, and remote connectivity. Supporting a wide range of features such as zero-touch provisioning, enhanced client visibility, traffic analysis, reporting and multivendor integration, AirWave is ideally suited to manage Aruba and third-party network devices.
Deployed as a purpose-built hardware or virtual machine image, each AirWave server supports up to 4,000 network devices (access points, switches, and controllers).
For organizations with the need for more flexible services, higher scale and performance, learn about the next generation management capabilities of Aruba Central, an AI-powered network operations, analytics and security solution that can be deployed in the cloud or on-premises.

STREAMLINED CONFIGURATION AND DEPLOYMENT
AirWave utilizes configuration groups, assigned templates, and step by step workflows to simplify device configuration. Entire config files can be imported, compared, assigned and archived. Modifying and using smaller segments of configuration files across groups of devices is also supported.
These capabilities allow IT to quickly add, modify and deploy devices across distributed locations, while saving time and minimizing mistakes. Aruba's Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) can be used to automatically push configuration files to devices to further simplify the deployment process. Integrated auditing is also provided for security and change management.
CONTACT TRACING AND LOCATION TRACING
Historical Wi-Fi location data from AirWave can be exported, analyzed, and displayed using Aruba Central or a third-party data analysis tool. This includes simple search queries can be run on a per-client basis to identify nearby clients and contact duration. This is intended to expediently provide data for appropriate enterprise and public health entities to manage and counteract potential COVID-19 outbreaks.
