Aruba Cheat Sheet - Warp Systems

With our competition:Cisco and Aruba: In their redundancy solutions double licensing may be required.Cisco: There is no option for flexible licensing. The installation of additional APs means more hardware,with no license upgrade possible.Meru: Has serious RF instability. Their system can be made to crash in less than 2 minutes. They alsohave a very weak redundancy mechanism with no “Active:Active” redundancy currently available.13. Motorola provides a seamless InterSubnet VoIP and Data RoamingOur L3 or InterSubnet VoIP roaming support makes it possible to roam seamlessly from building tobuilding in campus wide networks.With our competition:In many cases it is just not possible while in other cases proprietary software based mechanisms arerequired.Cisco: Cisco requires a proprietary CCX client to be on the device in order for it to perform this kind ofroaming. Even then, in many cases they will drop the VoIP call.Aruba: Needs an extra licence to offer this InterSubnet Roaming Service.Meru: Uses a proprietary handover mechanism which is not based on standards based roaming.14. Motorola has the state of the art Remote Site Survey tool named LAN PlannerLAN Planner allows us to offer our business partners a standardized remote site survey tool. This willresult in uniformity across our partner community when performing Site Surveys.LAN Planner can also generate surveys from the wireless device point of view.LAN Planner reduces the requirement to physically visit sites, resulting in lower travel costs, enabling ourpartners to perform surveys for more customers in less time.With our competition:None of our customers have this kind of survey solution.15. Motorola offers Out-Of-the-Box Deployment with all their EWLAND productsMotorola provides a superior “out-of-the-box” experience for its customers.Via DHCP we can upgrade, configure and update the configuration of the whole wireless infrastructure.Also, via the RF Management Suite, operational configurations can be monitored and compliancy policiesenforced.With our competition:None of our competition offers this “out-of-the-box” DHCP configuration service capability.16. Motorola designs and sells only Standards based solutions.Motorola promotes the use of Industry Standards in its wireless solutions.Where there is not yet a standard defined, or where we see added value for our customers, we provideenhancements above the standards, not instead of them, in our solutions.In these cases where we provide enhancements to the standards, we then strive to have theseenhancements included in the standards for the future benefit of, and use by, other standards baseddevices.An example of this is WPA pre-authentication and PMK Caching which were introduced as a way ofachieving faster roaming with standards based WiFi devices. These features were later integrated intothe WPA2 standard.Our competition:Aruba: Provides a standards based solution, however, due to a flexible interpretation of the standard,could lead to insecure implementations.Cisco: Cisco focuses on CCX, which is not a standard as it is only availavle on their infrastructure. It alsodifficult for client radio vendors to stay compliant due to frequent changes in the CCX architecture. InMotorola, Inc., Insert Corporate Offices or Sector Name 8/151303 E.
