describes the procedures for installing and configuring ClearPass Policy Manager on
a hardware appliance, as well as how to install ClearPass on a VMware vSphere Hypervisor host and on a host
that runs Microsoft's hypvervisor, Hyper-V™.
Due to a negative performance impact when ClearPass 6.7 is installed on a KVM appliance, Aruba will not post the
KVM image with this release. For more information, refer to the "6.7.0 Upgrades on KVM Hypervisors are Deferred"

ClearPass Access Management System Overview
The Aruba ClearPass Access Management System provides a window into your network and covers all your
access security requirements from a single platform. You get complete views of mobile devices and users and
have total control over what they can access.
With ClearPass, IT can centrally manage network policies, automatically configure devices and distribute
security certificates, admit guest users, assess device health, and even share information with third-party
solutions—through a single pane of glass, on any network and without changing the current infrastructure.
Role-Based and Device-Based Access
The ClearPass Policy Manager™ platform provides role-based and device-based network access control for
employees, contractors, and guests across any wired, wireless, and VPN infrastructure.
ClearPass works with any multivendor network and can be extended to business and IT systems that are
already in place.
