Network Management

Hi.
In our organization we use the Intelligent Management Center (IMC) and we want to renew the systems. We have been told that IMC it hasn´t supported and is better to install Aruba AirWave instead.

I prefer IMC because it gives better support to wired networks.

Thank you.

Who told you that? AFAIK some HPE IMC related licenses SKUs have been set EoS recently (31st December 2019) but there was no sign of discontinuing the HPE IMC product or stopping the HPE IMC support.

Hello,

I'm not in a position to comment on the future of any products. However I would say that unless you see an End of Sale for the iMC Platform, it is definitely 'alive' and being sold and supported. Whether you should use iMC, AirWave or both really depends on the devices you have and the network management features you need.

You can download and test both of them - iMC comes with a 60-day trial automatically active upon installation, and you can get an Evaluation for AirWave - see also https://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Network-Management/Airwave-trial-version/td-p/112185
