The HPE Aruba Networking 9100 Series Hybrid Gateway is a cloud-optimized edge appliance designed to extend enterprise services securely and seamlessly to large branch and small campus networks. This purpose-built high-performance edge appliance delivers Wi-Fi roaming, 24x7 reliability, and always-on connectivity - even during upgrades. Intelligent automation, AI insights, and unified infrastructure management, provided by HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS-10) and HPE Aruba Networking Central, help drive efficient IT operations.
The 9100 Series provides advanced wireless capabilities, intelligent routing with both wireless and wired tunnel orchestration, and strengthens security with automated and unified role-based policy enforcement for users and IoT across LAN, WAN and SD-WAN. This cloud-based edge appliance takes advantage of AOS-10 distributed software architecture and HPE Aruba Networking Central for greater scalability, security, and AI-powered optimization. Importantly, it adds the versatility for network services to be provided on-premises, allowing the 9100 Series to bring needed scalability to campus wireless gateway use cases or to optimize local routing and services at branch networks.
Ideal for large branch deployments and small campus networks, the 9100 Series is cloud-managed which reduces on-site IT requirements. It can operate in several modes: as an SD-Branch gateway for tunnel and route orchestration, security, and WAN management; as a powerful cloud-based wireless gateway; or VPN Concentrator (VPNC) for remote network and client VPN connectivity.
Enterprise-class performance
For small campuses or large branches that require high performance and 24x7 reliability, the 9100 Series is designed to scale to meet growing enterprise requirements. The modern cloud-native AOS-10 architecture provides the 9100 Series with scale to deliver higher performance than legacy controllers, supporting up to 4K APs and 10K clients with seamless roaming for latency sensitive applications. High-speed 10GbE fiber interfaces deliver up to 20Gbps throughput to minimize traffic bottlenecks.
High availability and resiliency
For always-on connectivity, the 9100 Series Hybrid Gateway supports redundancy, clustering, and live upgrades. The 9100 Series can be deployed with N+1 or NxN redundancy and multiple gateways can be clustered at each location supporting hitless failover that's critical for uninterrupted business continuity.
Dynamic segmentation and policy enforcement
Protecting and delivering network access across enterprise branch and campus sites is critical and complex. To improve security and simplify management, Dynamic Segmentation eliminates the time consuming and error-prone task of managing complex and static VLANs, ACLs, and subnets by dynamically assigning policies and keeping traffic secure and separated. IT can centrally configure with automatic enforcement of role-based policies that define proper access privileges for employees, guests, contractors, and other user groups- no matter where users connect on wired and WLANs. Additionally, the 9100 Series relies on a built-in Layer 4-7 stateful firewall known as the policy enforcement firewall (PEF). It streamlines policy management by working across WLAN, LAN, and WAN and policies are automatically enforced to simplify SSID, VLAN and policy management.
