Aruba AirWave Delivers Networking Trifecta

As WLANs become a key part of enterprise networks, keeping them separate from their wired brethren is usually not an option. Nor is ad hoc management. To solve this dilemma, Aruba Networks this week announced a major expansion to AirWave 7, a heretofore heterogeneous WLAN management system. Wi-Fi Planet reports.


Historically, wireless LAN management systems have been isolated from their wired counterparts, relying upon loose integration techniques like trap forwarding and console cut-through. Wireless-to-wired event correlation and trouble resolution are often labor-intensive, politically sensitive processes, plagued by inefficiencies and finger-pointing.

But as WLANs become an essential part of enterprise networks, this approach no longer suffices. "If a problem interferes with one of our mission-critical applications, our users don't care whether the cause is the device's firmware, the wireless AP's signal or a down switch - they just want it fixed," said Greg Catalano, Senior Network Engineer at Boise, Inc.

To bring wired and wireless management together under one unified umbrella, Aruba Networks today announced a major expansion to AirWave 7, a heretofore heterogeneous WLAN management system. "We wanted to stop the bickering that so many of our customers say they experience," said Bryan Wargo, General Manager of Aruba's AirWave division.

"Our customers told us they really needed a unified view of switches, controllers, APs, and mobile devices, along with one push configuration for changes that span all of those devices. So we created AirWave 7 to make the world a better place 'for network administrators and users' by offering a central source of consolidated information."
