Network Management

Manage multivendor wired and wireless networks

IT administrators today are relying on disparate systems for wired and wireless network management, even if there is a single vendor providing network infrastructure. Such disparate solutions deliver limited information about the health of a user’s network connectivity and fail to provide per user visibility for rapid monitoring and troubleshooting. In addition, IT administrators are forced to rely on custom built in-house tools in order to ensure ease of use and scalability.

Aruba’s AirWave Wireless Management Suite™ (AWMS) software is industry’s only multivendor wired and wireless network management system that is purposely designed to overcome these challenges. AirWave integrates real time monitoring, customized reporting, network infrastructure configuration, location based services, compliance reporting. AirWave software architecture enables management of up to 100K devices from a single interface – and it manages world’s largest networks of all the major wireless LAN vendors. Intuitive user interface design and customized views for network engineering, help desk, security operations, and executive management allows AirWave to be used by any member of the IT organization.
