Sun, February 22, 2009 Aruba Networks, Inc.: MultiCare Health System Manages Cisco and Nortel Wireless Networks With Aruba's AirWave Wireless Manageme
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - February 23, 2009) - Aruba Networks, Inc. (
"The AirWave suite is a superb management tool, superior to the vendor-supplied tools we used initially, and the only one available that can simultaneously manage both Cisco and Nortel networks," said Luis Coloma, a network analyst at MultiCare. "While it was technically possible to manage the wireless networks in our four hospitals from two different consoles, doing so would have been very inefficient, increased the burden on our IT staff, and deprived us of a system-level view of our entire organization. Instead, from a single console, we wanted visibility into the entire Wi-Fi network, a rich array of system-level reports, and system-level troubleshooting. The AirWave suite delivered on all counts."
The latest AirWave Wireless Management Suite offers many key features that are typically missing from proprietary management solutions:
-- Management efficiency through improved diagnostics, advanced troubleshooting, and reporting; -- Visibility into the wireless network that enables the Help Desk to resolve problems remotely and efficiently; -- Streamlined performance of routine management tasks such as updating controller configurations and software versions; and -- Support for multiple generations of technology, wireless standards, and vendors through a single console interface.
"Mergers, acquisitions, and facility moves wreak havoc within an IT organization because of the wide range of new infrastructure devices that often accompany such moves," said Bryan Wargo, general manager of Aruba's network management division. "In the past the only option was to install multiple management systems, a costly decision because of the IT training time and license/maintenance fees. Now there is a better way. Whether you need to manage a small single vendor system or a multi-facility, multi-vendor network, the AirWave suite offers exceptional value for money."
