An architect needs to choose between an Aruba Mobility Controller (MC) 7010 or 7024. Which сcustomer need indicates that the 7024 is a better choice than the 7010?
The Aruba MC 7010 and 7024 are both designed for small to mid-sized campuses and branches, but they have some differences in their features and specifications. One of the main differences is the number and type of ports they offer. The MC 7010 has 16 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, while the MC 7024 has 8 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 8 1000BASE-X SFP ports1. This means that the MC 7024 can support more APs that require fiber connections, such as the AP-387 or the AP-5352. The MC 7024 also supports 10G ports, which can provide higher bandwidth and performance for the network backbone3.
Therefore, if the customer needs to connect 20 APs directly to the MC, and some of them require fiber or 10G connections, the MC 7024 is a better choice than the MC 7010. The other options (A, B, and C) are not relevant for choosing between the MC 7010 and 7024, as both models can support up to 64 APs and 4096 users or devices, and both models can provide PoE+ on 12 ports1.
