Compact, High-capacity Branch Gateway
The HPE Aruba Networking 9004 gateway delivers enterprise-grade routing and security in a compact appliance designed for small campuses and branch sites. Supporting up to 2,000 clients and 32 managed access points, it provides up to 6 Gbps of firewall throughput and connectivity for large user counts while keeping a small footprint and low typical power consumption (25 W, 12 V DC).
Resilient Connectivity and LTE Failover
Built for availability, the 9004 supports redundancy, clustering, and live software upgrades to minimize downtime. The 9004-LTE variant enables high-speed LTE as a primary or redundant WAN uplink for business continuity, ensuring persistent connectivity for critical services.
Flexible Deployment for SD-Branch and WLAN
Deploy as a mobility controller or SD-Branch gateway to centralize routing, WLAN and LAN services. The appliance supports SD-WAN, IPSec, Dynamic Segmentation, and stateful firewall functions to simplify branch networking and reduce the need for complex VLAN and ACL management.
Advanced Security and Application Visibility
The gateway includes deep packet inspection and application-aware firewalling to enforce policies across thousands of applications. Role- and identity-based IDS/IPS, web content classification, and integration with third-party cloud security enhance protection for users, IoT devices and critical applications.
Cloud-native, AI-assisted Management
Configure and monitor the gateway via HPE Aruba Networking Central for AI-powered insights, workflow automation, and zero-touch provisioning. NetConductor wizard-driven workflows simplify policy creation and network design, reducing deployment time at remote branches with limited local IT staff.
Cost Savings with Centralized SD-Branch Orchestration
SD-Branch consolidates SD-WAN, routing, security, LAN and Wi‑Fi into a single managed platform, lowering operational complexity and cost for multi-site deployments. Central orchestration ensures consistent policies and dynamic traffic steering across branches, improving user experience and uplink reliability.
