Aruba Networks Installation & Support in Southern California
Hire a local Aruba installer to design and deploy CX switching, Wi-Fi 6/6E, EdgeConnect SD-WAN, and ClearPass NAC—managed in Aruba Central—across Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino. We document and support everything for day-2 success through managed services.
Why Aruba with WCC
Aruba brings powerful campus switching with AOS-CX, high-performing Wi-Fi with AI-assisted RF, role-based security via ClearPass, and unified operations in Aruba Central. We tailor designs for performance, visibility, and predictable operations—then help you run them with managed services.
Aruba CX Campus & Data Center
Modern AOS-CX switching for core/distribution and access—rich telemetry, programmability, and high availability.
- High-throughput core/distribution with redundancy
- Advanced routing, segmentation, and QoS
- Automation-ready (NQE, APIs) with deep telemetry
Aruba Central, Wi-Fi & SD-Branch
Cloud-managed operations with Central, AI Insights, and templates—ideal for rapid rollout across many sites.
- Wi-Fi 6/6E with ClientMatch & AI-assisted RF tuning
- EdgeConnect SD-WAN for resilient branch connectivity
- Zero-touch provisioning and policy templates

Aruba FAQs
Do you manage Aruba with Central or on-prem tools?
Aruba Central is our default for new deployments: unified dashboards, AI Insights, templates, and zero-touch provisioning across CX switches, APs, and EdgeConnect. For environments that require it, we can support hybrid or on-prem components and build a roadmap to Central.
How do you implement identity and role-based access with ClearPass?
We deploy 802.1X with ClearPass Policy Manager to assign roles dynamically based on user/device posture, group membership, and location. Guests and contractors get isolated roles and short-lived credentials. IoT devices can be profiled and placed in scoped roles to limit east-west risk.
What’s the rollout timeline for a mid-size Aruba refresh?
Typical phases run 2–6 weeks per site after procurement. We stage configs and templates in Central, ship pre-labeled gear, and execute change windows with rollback checkpoints. Cabling, permits, and lead times often drive the calendar—we plan these early to minimize downtime.
How do you tune Wi-Fi 6/6E for high-density spaces?
We combine predictive design with onsite validation, then use features such as ClientMatch, band steering, power/channel planning, and application QoS. Post-cutover, we monitor AI Insights in Central and adjust based on live telemetry and user experience.
How are Aruba licenses and support handled?
Aruba Central subscriptions cover management and AI features for switches/APs. EdgeConnect includes tiered subscriptions for SD-WAN capabilities. ClearPass includes platform/appliance licensing and optional add-ons. We provide a BOM with terms, renewals, and support entitlements so budgeting is clear.
What do we receive at handoff?
As-builts (diagrams, configs, IP plans, port maps), Central templates, ClearPass policies, and runbooks. We do live admin walkthroughs. With managed services, we add proactive monitoring, alerting, incident response targets, and recurring health checks.
