A customer is interested in Aruba ESP. but has policies that prevent using public cloud services. Which solution should you recommend for managing the ESP solution?

Question

Options

• AAruba AirWave
• BAruba Meridian
• CAruba Instant On app
• DAruba Central on-premises (COP)

• B
  4% (1)
• C
  15% (4)
• D
  78% (21)

Explanation

Aruba Central on-premises (COP) is the correct choice because Aruba ESP (Edge Services Platform) is natively managed through Aruba Central, and COP delivers the full Central management stack deployed within the customer's own data center - satisfying "no public cloud" policies while retaining all ESP capabilities.

• A. AirWave is a legacy network management solution that predates ESP and does not provide the AI-driven, cloud-native feature set ESP requires (AIOps, Zero Trust, etc.).
• B. Meridian is a location-services and wayfinding platform - it has no role in managing network infrastructure.
• C. Aruba Instant On is a simplified, consumer/SMB-focused app; it is a separate product line entirely and cannot manage ESP components.

Memory tip: Think "COP = Central On-Premises." When a customer wants Aruba Central features but must keep data inside their own walls, the "COP" comes to the rescue - same platform, private deployment.
