Aruba Networks has updated its
wireless Lan management systems for the control of enterprise
mobile networks, to deliver easier management and support more
scalable networks.
The firm has announced the release of
ArubaOS 3.1, a new version of the operating
system and application engine for all Aruba mobility controllers,
and
Mobility Management System (MMS) 2.0, the
next-generation suite of applications for planning and managing
mobility networks.
The latest versions of ArubaOS and MMS are designed to provide
enterprises with a global mobility domain that is scalable,
multi-service, integrated with existing security infrastructure and
managed intelligently.
To support this, new features in the systems include: management
contexts to enable the delegation of management rights for various
physical equipment and service to appropriate administrators;
bandwidth control to resolve the issue of slow clients and boost
service level agreements; and voice management and control to
expand scalability and performance and provide detailed monitoring
and management for Voice over Wi-Fi services.
Improved security services integration also allows easier
integration of existing security devices and infrastructure with
the Aruba mobility network.
The Aruba Mobile Edge Architecture is designed to deliver secure
mobility beyond basic wireless Lan (WLan) connectivity, to provide
consistent network services to a user at headquarters and wherever
the user roams, including branch locations, partner sites and home
offices.
Both ArubaOS 3.1 and MMS 2.0 are available at no additional
charge as an upgrade to existing customers.
