The 7005 Cloud Services Controllers support 16, APs, respectively and provide configuration, management, encryption, and application visibility to ensure the reliable delivery of network services. They also unify policy management for wired and wireless, making it simple and cost-effective to create an all-wireless workplace at branch offices. Capable of handling many users, the 7005 performs stateful firewall policy enforcement at up to 8 Gbps. Secure IP tunnels protect branch traffic across the public and private transport network to the cloud and headquarters. Local bridging can be performed, depending on end-user applications or IT traffic forwarding requirements. The 7005 also supports Aruba's Next-Generation Mobility Firewall with AppRF technology, which continuously evaluates app usage and performance and makes configuration changes in real-time to ensure optimal bandwidth, priority and network paths in branch offices. This ensures the best possible app experience in the branch, even for apps that are hidden as encrypted or web traffic. A real-time dashboard makes it easy to identify and correct quality-of-service tags, load-balance specific apps across APs, adjust RF management and roaming parameters for latency-sensitive apps, and apply bandwidth contracts per app or for a group of apps. The 7000 series supports other enterprise-critical capabilities like authentication, encryption, VPN connections, IPv4 and IPv6 services, the Policy Enforcement Firewall, Adaptive Radio Management and ClientMatch technologies, and RFProtect spectrum analysis and wireless intrusion protection.
