It's used for the SD-WAN solution, controlling all our branches. It orchestrates everything from one platform, managing routing, images, and overall system control. Through orchestration, we can handle link bandwidth and application routing.
The best feature is the single-controller architecture. All the EdgeConnect devices are connected and managed by a single controller.
If we compare it with other vendors like Cisco and Versa, they have multiple controllers. For example, Cisco has vSmart, vBond, and vManage, three servers you have to manage to maintain the SD-WAN solution.
But with Aruba, there is only one controller, called Orchestrator. So, you just deploy that one, and that's it.
So far, it's user-friendly, comprehensive, and not complicated.
And there's one more good feature I saw recently while working with the support team. That Feature belongs to traffic flow. If you want to trace the traffic from one source to another, from source to destination, you want to track the traffic; you want to see the flow. It is very easy inside the Orchestrator. You just right-click on that and just the flow and it will show you how much latency you have and what are the exact parts for that destination if you are using the source. So everything is showing inside the one Orchestrator.
