Aruba has released ArubaOS 3.1, a new version of the operating system and application engine for all Aruba mobility controllers, and Mobility Management System (MMS) 2.0, the next-generation suite of applications for planning and managing mobility networks. New features and capabilities of ArubaOS and MMS are designed to provide enterprises with a global mobility domain that is scalable, multi-service, integrated with existing security infrastructure, and intelligently managed, the company said.
According to the company, the new features include:
- Virtual Mobile Networks: combines the benefits of centralised control with localised management capabilities
- Management Contexts: enables delegation of management rights for various physical equipment and service to appropriate administrators
- Bandwidth Control: resolves the issue of slow clients and allows per-SSID service level agreements
- Voice Management and Control: expands scalability and performance and provides detailed monitoring and management for Voice over Wi-Fi (VoFi) services
- Security Services Integration: allows easy integration of existing security devices and infrastructure with the Aruba mobility network
The Aruba Mobile Edge Architecture is designed to deliver secure mobility beyond basic wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity, providing consistent network services to a user at headquarters and wherever the user roams, including branch locations, partner sites and home offices, the company added.
"We've progressed from Wi-Fi pilots to moderate-sized deployments and now we're beginning to see the next WLAN connectivity wave", said Stan Schatt, vice president for broadband and wireless networks at ABI Research.
ArubaOS 3.1 is expected to be available on February 23, 2007 and is included at no additional charge as an upgrade for existing customers with support. MMS 2.0 is available now and is included at no additional charge as an upgrade for existing MMS customers with support. MMS 2.0 is available for purchase starting at USD 3,995 North American list price.
