- Have you heard about Aruba Instant On?
Small businesses deserve great Wi-Fi. "Aruba Instant On" delivers secure, high-speed wireless connectivity that’s hassle-free to set up and manage. Going with Instant On provides the same quality, performance, and exceptional support you’d expect from the premium Aruba brand.
"Aruba Instant On" is an Aruba Network that can be managed via the "Aruba Instant On" App.
The "Aruba Instant On App" lets you configure and monitor your network from anywhere over the Internet. Having remote management access via "Aruba Instant On" is helpful in a number of situations. For example, a business owner can see in real time how many customers are visiting the premises and using the Wi-Fi network or to deal with a problem.
The "Aruba Instant On" App, doesn’t require the manager to check in with the App periodically as it sends push notifications when something goes wrong. For example, if an AP's cable is accidentally disconnected, the manager will be notified. Real-time alerting gives managers the ability to respond and remedy connectivity issues immediately.
Once "Aruba Instant On" is deployed and the AP's are on-boarded and active, they operate according to their configurations even if the link to the cloud management platform is lost. The bottom line is you don’t have to worry that the normal operation of the network depends on a constant connection to the cloud after on-boarding.
A huge advantage of buying "Aruba Instant On" is that small and midsize businesses not only get great network performance, but also the same best-in-class network security used by enterprises.
"Aruba Instant On" is designed to maintain strict data privacy. Aruba’s cloud architecture is used for management and monitoring only. Customer traffic is not sent to the cloud platform nor is seen in any way.
Cybersecurity has to be taken seriously, and Aruba has built in enterprise-class security features that make them a leader in the pack.
To conclude, we think "Aruba Instant On" is a fantastic option for smaller businesses looking for a simple and convenient way to manage an enterprise class network with minimal fuss. Remembering Aruba is now part of HP, they have deep pockets to invest in R&D and will continue to provide fantastic new features to the solution. If you don’t believe Aruba will rock your socks off for any reason, you might also want to consider looking at Ruckus Networks Unleashed which is a competing solution from CommScope.
Whichever solution is right for you, you can’t escape the real need for a good wireless survey and design to get the most out of the network. Having amazing tools are at times only as efficient as the user using them. Making sure a wireless survey has been conducted is one of the very early steps you should take before deciding on investing in new hardware.
