Aruba Switches Scalability
The scalability is fine. I've got two 6200 24-port switches, so 48 ports total. I Aruba switches are capable of putting trunk groups in between. It's a chiropractic office, so we've got 32 network tables all plugged in between servers and all of the devices, and then there are all the computers hanging on the walls and stuff like that.
However, in reality, it's typically only four people working at the office at any given time, but they run around from room to room using x-rays, computers, and all that other stuff, so there are a lot of different devices. In total, there are 32 ethernet cables plugged into these two switches.
Some people define a user as a person typing on the keyboard, but In a chiropractic office, you have customers who walk into the adjusting room and scan their little cards. Meanwhile, the doctor kind of walks from room to room. It's really only one doctor.
We'll be bringing additional computers online over the next couple of years as they ramp up that office, so there will be increased utilization of the switches even inside that office. I will also be adding switches for each of my clients. I mean as I'm going in and taking over managed service provider relationships with these clients, I'll be looking at putting those same switches, so I have complete visibility.

View full review »We haven't had any scaling issues, so I'd rate it a nine out of ten, with ten being highly scalable.
I have 19 people using it. They are network engineers who maintain the switches.
The network is our core business, so we use it constantly. It's always configured and running in our hospitals.

I don't use the full switching capacity, it is very difficult for me to comment on.
Some Aruba Switches are quite scalable, but port flexibility could be improved. If I were to rate the general series switches, I would rate them an eight out of ten. However, for the core switch, I would rate them a six out of ten.
Aruba Switches are best suited for enterprise-sized companies.

Aruba offers better options when it comes to the area of scalability compared to what Cisco offers. Aruba has a better graphical user interface that helps users with the configuration part.
Around 200 people in my company use the product. There are two administrators for the product in my company.

The scalability has been okay. I'd rate the scalability seven out of ten overall. We do plan to increase usage.

We have 300 people on average using the solution.
In terms of expanding usage, as a solution, at this point in time, I don't need to. With its wifi capabilities, it can handle a little bit more load, so that's fine.
View full review »Aruba Switches are scalable. The device that I procured is a six-day device. In these six days, you can probably populate any number of ethernet ports or SFP plus ports, or any kind of interface.

I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten.
View full review »The solution is scalable in two ways. You can increase your network with the device, and you can also upgrade your application operating system to increase the usage of new-generation technology. Aruba is great at offering scalability in both areas. The devices also last a long time and have a five or six-year lifetime warranty, and within this period, you're eligible for the latest software that continuously expands the Aruba experience over time.
We'll likely continue to invest in Aruba and expand usage when the time comes.

Aruba Switches scale well, because of the modularity of it and to be able to buy different modules and interchange modules. We have a pair of them and they are linked together with 40 gig connections, so all of the cards are interchangeable between the two switches and some of that is just by design.
These are the core switches in our organization and everybody in the office uses them. This includes our remote offices. Everybody passes data through them, albeit this is somewhat less at the moment because of the COVID quarantine.

With many ports, we blended for the first time and we did not face any problems.
You have to have a plan to expand or increase to a table or other devices.

Scalability is not really relevant to us because we only have 250 users. We used to have 250 users on four floors, so we had eight switches. We're on one floor in one building now, but we still use eight switches to spread the users out.
