How is Aruba’s cloud-managed network different from traditional management?

Aruba's cloud-managed network fundamentally differs from traditional management primarily in its ability to provide scalability and remote management capabilities without the need for on-premise servers. This model leverages cloud technology, allowing administrators to manage their network infrastructure from anywhere with internet access. This ease of management supports more dynamic environments where scalability is necessary; networks can be expanded or contracted quickly in response to organizational needs without the typical constraints associated with physical hardware limitations found in traditional setups.

In contrast, traditional network management typically relies on local hardware and software installations that require on-site servers, which can complicate remote management and scalability. Thus, the cloud-managed approach represents a significant advancement in flexibility, efficiency, and ease of use, enabling organizations to respond more rapidly to changes in their networking requirements while maintaining high levels of operational oversight.
