Aruba switches have the largest market share of any wired network vendor according to IDC Worldwide Quarterly Ethernet Switch Tracker1. Aruba switches do not have the best warranty and no hidden costs for software licensing1, nor do they support better segmentation between the wired and wireless network1, nor do they support on-prem management rather than higher cost cloudbased management1.

One challenge that is pushing customers toward SD-WAN solutions is the lack of control over and visibility into WAN traffic, which can affect application performance, user experience, and security2. Customers do not need to move to exclusive MPLS for branch connections, as SD-WAN can leverage multiple transport options including broadband internet, LTE, and MPLS2. Customers also face challenges with insufficient security expertise in IT staff at branches and too few products and solutions at the branches across their WAN, but these are not directly related to SD-WAN solutions.

Silicon root of trust creates a digital fingerprint in the silicon of ArubaOS switches to ensure they will never boot with compromised hardware3. This is one advantage of Aruba Secure Infrastructure that goes beyond software solutions.

Connectivity Health collects and compiles information about switch configuration, protocol, and system state and uses machine learning to compare this information to baseline figures, but this is a feature of Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE), which is a software solution4. An Aruba infrastructure does not reduce the likelihood traffic can be intercepted with centralized encryption and deep packet inspection; rather it encrypts traffic at every hop using standards-based protocols such as IPSec VPNs3. Aruba controlled APs maintain a distributed policy engine that defines who and what devices can connect to which data, infrastructure, and applications, but this is also a software solution based on Aruba

ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM).

Aruba 340s do not support higher density deployments than Aruba 310s; rather they both support high performance and superb user experience for mobile devices, IoT devices, and applications in dense office environments12. Aruba 340s do not support outdoor deployments, and Aruba 310s do not support indoor ones; rather they both support indoor deployments12. Aruba 340s do not support 802.11ac only, and Aruba 310s do not support 802.11b/g/n only; rather they both support multiple Wi-Fi standards including 802.11a/b/g/n/ac12.

Aruba delivers uninterrupted high-speed connectivity in any location, even across roams, and enables self-service network onboarding for student devices3. This helps higher education customers meet the growing demand for an always-on network that supports students' mobile lifestyles. Aruba security does not remove the need for network access controls and time-consuming onboarding processes by applying the same security policies to every user and device; rather it provides granular visibility and control over who and what connects to the network with solutions like ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) and ClearPass Device Insight (CPDI)3. With Aruba, administrators cannot establish certain locations as specialized zones where students can go to get the fastest bandwidth anywhere on campus; rather they can provide consistent performance across campus with solutions like AirMatch Dynamic Radio Management (DRM) and ClientMatch3. Using Aruba tools, admins cannot create easy-to-use, template-based quizzes that take up less bandwidth than other quiz software and can be downloaded to use offline; rather they can leverage cloud-based solutions like

Canvas LMS or Google Classroom for online learning3.

MM provides a centralized licensing repository and a single interface for configuring controllers4.

This is a benefit that Aruba Mobility Master (MM) and an ArubaOS architecture bring to network management. MM does not offer a single management interface for configuring wireless devices and onboarding user wireless devices; rather it provides a single point of configuration for managed devices such as controllers or gateways4. Customers cannot obtain a flexible, cloud-based option for managing their controllers centrally with MM; rather they can use Centralized Cloud Management (CCM) or Managed Network Services (MNS)5. Admins cannot manage ArubaOS switches and ArubaOS controllers from the same management interface with MM; rather they can use AirWave Network Management (ANM) or

Centralized Cloud Management (CCM)6.

Aruba micropolicies apply user-aware and IoT-aware policies that adapt to changing conditions1. This provides your customers with advantages such as granular visibility and control over network access, dynamic enforcement of security policies based on user roles and device types, and simplified network management with a single point of configuration1. Aruba micropolicies do not enforce a secure VPN connection for remote users to protect the network from malicious attacks; rather they use encryption and tunneling protocols such as IPsec or GRE to secure traffic between remote devices and gateways2. Aruba micropolicies do not detect malware and attacks with the latest signatures downloaded from Aruba; rather they use solutions such as Aruba IntroSpect UEBA or Aruba ClearPass Device Insight to detect anomalous behavior or compromised devices3. Aruba micropolicies do not provide a backend database for enforcing security issues; rather they use solutions such as Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager or Aruba NetConductor to provide centralized policy management and enforcement4.

Aruba Beacons use Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) technology to precisely track the location of mobile users through their mobile devices56. This enables your customers to provide indoor location data for mobile apps that can enhance user engagement, wayfinding, asset tracking, and analytics56.

Aruba Asset Tags do not use BLE technology to track the location of mobile users through their mobile devices; rather they use BLE technology to track the location of physical assets such as equipment or inventory. Aruba APs in Air Monitor (AM) mode do not use BLE technology to track the location of mobile users through their mobile devices; rather they use Wi-Fi technology to monitor the air for rogue APs, interference sources, or security threats. Aruba APs in Spectrum Monitor (SM) mode do not use BLE technology to track the location of mobile users through their mobile devices; rather they use Wi-Fi technology to scan the spectrum for non-Wi-Fi interference sources such as microwave ovens or cordless phones.

Aruba offers a software-defined architecture with a single platform and unified wired and wireless.

This is one way that the Aruba approach to architecture makes Aruba stand out against the competition. With this architecture, your customers can benefit from simplified network operations, consistent user experience across locations, enhanced security and performance, and reduced costs and complexity. Aruba does not provide customers with a choice of five different architectures to provide greater flexibility; rather it provides customers with a choice of two different architectures: controller-based (AOS) or controllerless (Instant). Aruba does not offer a simpler and more robust architecture by avoiding integration with third-party solutions; rather it offers an open and interoperable architecture that integrates with third-party solutions such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, AWS IoT Greengrass, etc. [13]. Aruba does not provide two optimized architectures based on different software, one for branch and one for campus; rather it provides a single software platform (ArubaOS) that can support both branch and campus deployments with features such as Dynamic Segmentation or SD-Branch [15].
