Aruba 7010 Cloud Services Controller

The Aruba 7010 is a Cloud Services Controller from the 7000 series, designed to manage wireless access points and enforce security policies for branch offices. It handles configuration, encryption and application visibility while supporting stateful firewall throughput up to 8 Gbps. The unit can manage up to 32 access points and serve up to 4000 users, with secure IP tunnels that protect traffic across public and private networks to headquarters or cloud destinations.

Branch offices needing centralised AP management

Organisations that want a single appliance to control up to 32 APs, unify wired and wireless policies and provide secure tunnelling for branch traffic will fit this model. Buyers who need to manage more than 32 access points or support larger user populations should look at a higher-capacity controller. Environments that do not require cloud-optimised services or stateful firewall enforcement at this scale may find the feature set excessive.

32 access-point capacity limit

The decisive specification is the maximum of 32 access points the 7010 can support, as defined for the 7010 model within the 7000 series. This fixed limit determines whether the controller matches the size of the wireless deployment. No other capacity figure in the data changes that boundary.
