New Switches Create a Unified Network
Infrastructure that Delivers Simplicity through Hands-off
Management and Automation
Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE: HPE), today
announced the expansion of the Aruba Instant On product family to
include a new series of switches that enable small businesses to
deploy a unified, high-speed network that is easy to set-up, manage
and maintain. Whether deployed as part of a business continuity
strategy or connectivity upgrade project, the new Aruba Instant On
1930 Series of smart-managed switches seamlessly integrate with
existing Instant On indoor/outdoor access points (APs), and can be
centrally managed with the Instant On mobile app.

Patron expectations for seamless and secure connectivity are
high, whether they are engaging with a large, multi-national chain
or a small local business. This places undue pressure on small
businesses that often do not have the resources to keep IT
personnel on staff to address networking challenges. The issue is
further compounded when unexpected crises strike – such as the
current global pandemic. The social distancing mandates that have
resulted are fundamentally changing the business engagement model
from mostly in-person interactions to online-only, which can cause
fluctuating network demand. Local grocers, restaurants and other
essential businesses have had to make a major shift in operations
in order to stay viable in the current environment. According to
the SMB Group, “71% of SMBs have already moved activities from the
physical world to the virtual one, and 16% are planning to do
so.”1
“With this latest addition to the Instant On portfolio, Aruba is
addressing the primary pain points for small businesses that want
to take a ‘set it and forget it’ approach, while still delivering
the robust security features and management simplicity that small
businesses need,” said Norm Lillis, vice president of Small
Business at CDW. “Especially in uncertain times like these, when
smaller organizations that supply essential services to their
community have more pressing priorities to attend to, they’re
looking for IT solutions that they can rely on to support their
business continuity efforts today and into tomorrow.”
Like large organizations, small businesses are concerned with
reliability, security and infrastructure costs, yet at the same
time, they lack the staff to handle complex management or set-up of
the network. Dynamically changing business connectivity and
capacity requirements make operational simplicity a critical factor
when choosing a networking solution. To address these challenges,
Aruba Instant On offers unified management for all network
services, a single architecture for both switches and access points
and an innovative mobile app for hassle-free set-up, monitoring and
management across the entire network.
The new Instant On 1930 Switch Series features:
- Flexible configurations with 8, 24, or 48 1G ports with PoE and
high speed 10G connectivity
- Enhanced PoE+ on all ports to power a range of Internet of
Things devices
- Choice of management modes for flexibility:
- Cloud-management via mobile app or web browser
- Local web GUI
- Limited lifetime warranty for maximum investment
protection
Remote access to business services and tools is essential for
small businesses, however, they lack the resources that a large
enterprise can leverage to set-up and maintain virtual private
networks (VPNs). Aruba has teamed up with NordVPN, a trusted online
security solutions provider with more than 12 million users
worldwide, to deliver VPN services to Aruba Instant On customers.
Adding NordVPN to an Aruba Instant On network requires just a few
simple steps and no IT expertise, enabling employees to remotely
access sensitive business data when they can’t work on site.
“Small businesses play a critical role in our communities and,
for those that provide essential services, staying connected with
their customers has now become a necessity,” said Amol Mitra, vice
president and general manager of Global Small and Medium Business
at Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company. “For those who are
looking for a simple, hassle-free networking solution that provides
secure, high-performance, enterprise-like connectivity, that
solution exists today with Aruba Instant On.”
Pricing and Availability
The Aruba Instant On 1930 Switch Series is available beginning
June 1, with list prices starting at $129 USD. For more information
