One challenge that is introduced by an increasing number of IoT devices on the network is that traditional perimeter solutions are no longer sufficient as more potentially insecure devices connect from within1 . Perimeter solutions such as firewalls and VPNs are designed to protect the network from external threats but do not address the risks posed by internal devices that may be compromised or misconfigured. Therefore, a zero trust approach that assumes no device or user is trusted by default and applies granular policies based on context and behavior is needed to secure IoT networks.

According to surveys, well over half of smartphone owners keep location services on to receive directions and recommendations12. Location-based technology is one of the mobile trends that are dominating 2020 and beyond, as it enables personalized and contextual experiences for users based on their real-time location1. Location services can also help businesses deliver targeted ads, offers, and content to their customers.

Aruba switches bring performance, security and operational simplicity to enterprise networks with innovations like segmentation and Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE)3. Segmentation is a feature that allows network administrators to create logical groups of users, devices, and applications based on their roles and policies, and enforce them across wired and wireless networks3. NAE is a feature that provides real-time monitoring, troubleshooting, and analytics for network health and performance3.

Aruba MM enables Aruba AirMatch, which better optimizes RF in dense environments than simple Adaptive Radio Management (ARM)12. AirMatch is a feature that uses cloud-based algorithms and machine learning to dynamically optimize radio frequency (RF) settings such as channel, power, and band steering for all access points in a network12. AirMatch can also coordinate RF optimization across multiple controllers and Mobility Masters1.

Aruba Central offers two benefits that you should explain to a customer who has many branch offices with limited staff of IT generalists: Central is designed for varied expertise levels, with wizards and easy drill-downs3, and Central offers Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for streamlined deployment with no on-site expertise3. Central is a cloud-based platform that provides unified management, visibility, and analytics for Aruba wired and wireless networks3. Central allows users to easily configure devices, monitor network health and performance, troubleshoot issues, generate reports, and apply policies across multiple sites3. ZTP is a feature that enables devices to automatically download their configuration from Central when they connect to the network for the first time3.

The benefit of a higher quality guest wireless experience with features such as ClientMatch, AirGroup, and Cape Networks is relevant to Aruba's wireless solution and its value proposition.

The "better than cloud" approach is one of Aruba's guiding principles that lets customers know that Aruba offers a flexible network architecture that can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud2. The "customer first, customer last" approach is not specific to Aruba but rather a general principle of HPE3.

A good question to ask a customer who might benefit from an Aruba mobile engagement strategy is "How could a mobile app help you find innovate ways to increase customer satisfaction scores?"12. This question helps qualify the customer by assessing their interest in using locationbased services and personalized push notifications to enhance the guest experience at their venues12. Aruba mobile engagement is a solution that enables new location-aware services and personalizes the visitor experience by infusing mobile apps with context-aware location services and personalized push notifications based on guests' opt-in preferences12.

A characteristic that could make a Virtual Mobility Controller (VMC), as opposed to a hardware controller, a good solution for a customer is need for flexibility in moves and changes3. VMC is a software-based controller that runs on x86 virtualized servers3. VMC provides more flexibility than hardware controllers because it can be easily deployed, moved, or scaled up or down according to changing network demands3.
