"Aruba Central shows us what's happening in real-time on a robust dashboard and, because it's cloud-based, we can add access points, troubleshoot potential connectivity issues, monitor analytics, and generate detailed reports without having to be on a local network. This saves us time and allows us to work more efficiently. Next, the Aruba IAPs were proven to maximize mobile Wi-Fi performance and eliminate drops when users visit different parts of the office. This is a tremendous benefit because many of our employees go from our 11th floor to our 12th floor, and vice-versa, with their mobile devices."

随时随地访问

Plus, our employees can use their mobile devices to make personal phone calls or browse the Internet inside sound isolation rooms that are conveniently located in our lobby."

"It's no secret that first impressions about our company are formed while guests are waiting in the lobby. By offering them a password-protected Wi-Fi connection, they can use their mobile devices to catch up on important emails, surf the web, or respond to text messages while they wait."

Balboa Capital的IT团队配置和安装了IAP，而无需雇用外部顾问或商业Wi-Fi安装公司。还创建了两个受密码保护的Wi-Fi网络；一位适用于普通用户（Balboa Capital的员工和客人），另一个用于Balboa Capital的高级管理人员和IT团队。

"Installing our access points was relatively simple and straightforward," said Mr. Vargas. "We determined where the IAPs needed to be placed, and we connected each one to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection. We then logged onto Aruba Central, added the serial numbers of each access point, and introduced them via the cloud. Once we finished the installation process, we conducted tests to confirm that all the access points were recognized on our network, and we were ready to go."

Aruba Central像1-2-3一样容易

Balboa Capital's IT team wanted the ability to manage the company's Wi-Fi settings, reporting, and bandwidth, among others, in a simple and efficient manner.

"One of the biggest advantages of Aruba Central, outside of its wide array of capabilities, is how easy it is to use," said Mr. Vargas. "There is no need to switch from one application or dashboard to another in order to get the network information you need. With Aruba Central, everything you need is conveniently accessible via the cloud on a single dashboard. It's as easy as one-two-three. Lastly, we did not have to buy any servers, which saved us both time and money."

Balboa Capital的IT团队成员正在忙于为公司中每个部门（包括销售，运营，会计，营销和客户服务）管理关键任务。结果，这些有技术意识的人无力浪费时间，以与新技术或应用有关的复杂或冗长的设置流程。

I just imported our existing wireless network configuration and followed the on-screen instructions to complete the process."
