Aruba has launched a new program to help channel partners offer a managed service alternative to implementing IT network solutions. The Aruba Managed Services Provider Program enables partners to quickly evolve their Network as-a-Service (NaaS) practice with Aruba’s robust cloud-managed network solution for superior service and customer experience.

Traditional offices and buildings are relying on AI-powered contact and location tracing tools to enable social and physical distancing monitoring solutions that make the workplace safer for employees, students, patients, customers, and fans.

Affordable and easy-to-deploy, these smart-managed, fixed-configuration Gigabit switches are designed with the small business in mind. The 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 report – which includes the results of a survey of over 170 IT decision-makers and network engineers within Aruba’s ecosystem in EMEA – suggests that the majority are frustrated by shortcomings in data management.
