Benefit |
|
User & device monitoring |
Provides real-time monitoring views for every user, AP, controller or
other wireless device on your network. |
Up to 75% reduction in wireless problem resolution time by putting all
the information you need to diagnose and resolve problems at your
fingertips |
|
Reporting |
Provides a comprehensive and customizable set of inventory reports,
usage reports, and other trend trend reports dating back two years or
more. All reports can be scheduled, distributed via email, and
exported via XML. |
More accurate network planning and faster problem resolution, while
eliminating the burden of manual report generation and
distribution. |
|
Automated device discovery |
Detects all new WiFi and other devices connected to your network
|
Ensures that you have an accurate inventory of your wireless
infrastructure devices at all times |
|
Group-based policy definition |
Allows you to define your wireless configuration policies centrally and
specify which policies should be applied to each group of devices on your
network |
Efficient, accurate policy definition – allowing you to specify and
update policies for devices in different environments (i.e., corporate
headquarters vs. remote office locations) |
|
Centralized configuration management |
Automatically applies your configuration policies (and software
firmware updates) to all appropriate devices on your network. |
Efficient configuration of thousands of wireless devices while
eliminating opportunities for human error. |
|
Software distribution |
Detects equipment with out-of-date software and distributes
vendor-provided software patches and updates across your network. |
Ensures that your wireless infrastructure remains uniform and current
with all security patches and software |
|
Custom Compliance Audits |
Audits device configurations continually to alert you if any device
configuration does not match your policy - and allows you to determine
what types of configuration errors should generate high-priority alarms so
you don't receive hundred of false positive alerts. |
Eliminates the #1 source of wireless security incidents: misconfigured
devices. |
|
Universal Device Support |
Monitors components of the wired network that impact wireless network
performance (such as RADIUS servers and upstream switchers), as well as
hundreds of less commonly utilized brands of access points. |
Enables intelligent root cause analysis and diagnostics at a glance --
if a user reports that the WLAN is down, is the outage caused by an AP
problem or the failure of an upstream switch? |
|
Diagnostics & alarms |
Alerts you whenever potential problems threat network performance or
security |
Proactive problem resolution before end users are affected |
|
Vendor-neutral Management |
Supports leading brands and models of wireless infrastructure devices,
covering more than 90% of the enterprise market. |
Allows you to manage a diverse network from a single console – as well
as an 'insurance policy' in case your network becomes more diverse in the
future (through mergers & acquisitions, changing vendor selection, new
technologies, etc.) |
|
Multi-architecture Support |
Manages all types of wireless technology, including centralized access
points, autonomous APs, mesh, WiMAX and more. |
Provides a single console for supporting the multiple wireless
technologies needed to deliver connectivity everywhere -- indoors and
outdoors, in large warehouses and small remote offices. |
|
NMS Integration |
Integrates with solutions like HP Network Node Manager, IBM Netcool,
and other network management platforms. |
Enables more seamless management of wired and wireless network
infrastructure by sharing information and alerts across
platforms. |
|
Automated RF mgmt. |
Recommends RF channel and other settings for optimal performance and
coverage |
