Your network serves as the backbone of your business, and that foundation needs to be strong: whether your staff rely on it to connect to one another, customers demand regular access to services, or your systems need to stay online. Investing in network infrastructure that will work today and adapt to your needs tomorrow – or a year from now – presents a particular challenge for small-medium businesses (SMBs), especially with growing connectivity demands.
You might be able to establish a starting point for your SMB with network hardware that works with your existing operations. But if your business grows rapidly, it could quickly outpace the load your network is able to support. An increase in new clients can overwhelm your network, as can an increase in remote work with the need for high-bandwidth video connections.
Without scalable infrastructure, it’ll be hard to adapt to meet those demands. Network bottlenecks not only mean slow connections — they can also impact your company’s growth. And having to replace your existing equipment to support the increased demands can be prohibitively costly.
Aruba provides a solution for SMBs’ most concerning networking challenges.
A quick and easy upgrade
From the outset, Aruba makes it easy to upgrade your network with wireless access points and switches that are smart, scalable, and secure. You don’t need deep, technical know-how, a massive IT team, or long periods of disruptive downtime to deploy Aruba’s networking solutions. Management is made simple with an intuitive web-based dashboard where you can monitor, control, and troubleshoot the entire network through a single pane of glass.
Your network needs to keep up with your operations. The Aruba 500 Series offers wireless access points with modern Wi-Fi 6 technology that use new protocols for communicating reliably with devices at extra high speeds, eliminating bottlenecks and providing support for many devices all at once. By using the latest technology, your network won’t leave your staff in the lurch, waiting on a file transfer or struggling to stay connected on a conference call. Instead, they’ll get the speeds they need to stay productive.
The Aruba CX Series switches are designed to max out speeds on your network. Gigabit and multi-gigabit options can physically stack and scale to meet the growing demands of your business. Add a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch to the stack to provide power and reliable throughput to security cameras, access points, and VOIP phones while reducing cable clutter.
And all the data flowing through that hardware needs protection. Enterprise-grade security offers granular capabilities along with role-based policy enforcement. It enables just the right amount of access where needed, keeping your data safe and accessible only to the people you trust.
Enterprise-level performance for SMBs
Your business’s network shouldn’t be a many-headed hydra that you’re constantly fighting just to keep operations afloat. It should be a many-laned highway that facilitates the work you do without bottlenecks and traffic jams. Employees and customers alike expect seamless connectivity to work without interruption — Aruba makes this simple.
Aruba’s network gear has been battle-tested in enterprise workplaces yet is accessible for SMBs. Because it’s simple to deploy, you can get your new network up and running quickly. And advanced security, detailed analytics, and easy-to-use management tools allow your IT department to focus on improving rather than fixing. The high-speed, high-bandwidth hardware Aruba provides won’t slow you down. Whether you’ve got one hundred or one thousand employees, Aruba fits your business’s needs today, and can scale with the growth of your business tomorrow.
