Many schools and universities have moved their spring semester courses online as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This transition has affected over half of the 50 million students in the US, leading to the closure of primary and secondary schools globally. Institutions are facing challenges such as enabling remote work for staff, training faculty in online teaching methods, and ensuring students have access to necessary resources.

Aruba offers several solutions to facilitate remote access, including Aruba Remote Access Points (RAP) and the Virtual Intranet Agent (VIA). RAP extends the network and security policies to employees' homes, while VIA provides secure connectivity for laptops and mobile devices, ensuring that educators can access confidential data safely from home.

IT staff can utilize Aruba Central, a cloud-native solution that allows for remote management and visibility of network services across campuses and remote sites. Additionally, Aruba AirWave provides granular visibility into multivendor networks, enabling IT teams to maintain control and ensure secure access while working remotely.
