How long does a typical Aruba ClearPass deployment take?

A standard enterprise deployment typically ranges from 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the complexity of your network and the number of integration points (MDM, EDR, etc.). We follow a phased approach to ensure zero business disruption.

Can ClearPass work with non-Aruba network equipment?

Absolutely. One of ClearPass's greatest strengths is its vendor-agnostic nature. We regularly implement it in multi-vendor environments featuring Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, and Palo Alto Networks infrastructure.

What is 'Monitor Mode' in a NAC rollout?

Monitor Mode is a 'passive' phase where we observe and profile all devices without enforcing block actions. This allows us to fine-tune policies and fix potential issues before we move to Enforcement Mode, guaranteeing 100% uptime for critical devices.

How does NAC support a Zero Trust architecture?

NAC is the foundational enforcement point for Zero Trust. It ensures that 'Never Trust, Always Verify' is applied at the network edge by performing continuous health and identity checks before any device is granted access.

Deployment Evolution

Modern ClearPass deployments require a shift from simple RADIUS authentication to a behavior-aware policy engine.

Why Organizations Struggle

Policy Logic Complexity

Struggling with convoluted service rules that lead to unpredictable authentication results.

Enforcement Anxiety

Fear of moving from Monitor to Enforcement mode due to incomplete device visibility.

Vendor Conflict

Resolving incompatibility between ClearPass and legacy Cisco, Juniper, or Fortinet switches.
