Aruba Networks, Inc.: Spain's Universidad de Valladolid Manages Multi-Vendor, Multi-Campus Wi-Fi Network With Aruba's Airwave W
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - June 10, 2009) - Aruba Networks, Inc. (
"The university was an early adopter of wireless networking, but as the system expanded the legacy network could not easily scale to address our throughput, security, and management needs," said Fernando Martin Pelayo, subdirector of networking at the Universidad de Valladolid. "We needed a more capable Wi-Fi network and a replacement for the proprietary management tool that we had been using. The AirWave suite manages our existing Trapeze 802.11a/b/g network, and of course our new high performance Aruba network, all from a common console. The multi-vendor capability saves us training time and the expense of buying and maintaining independent management tools. Best of all, it's easy to use."
The AirWave suite is a powerful tool that allows users to easily and cost-effectively manage multi-vendor wireless networks. The suite preserves capital investments by bringing the benefits of upgraded diagnostics, advanced troubleshooting, and reporting to legacy wireless equipment. At the same time, the AirWave suite provides a path to newer, state-of-the-art wireless solutions, such as Aruba's high performance 802.11n network, by managing both legacy and new equipment from a common console.
"The WLAN is an essential part of the university infrastructure -- it's expected and appreciated by our users," continued Pelayo. "We chose Aruba as our partner going forward because of their exceptionally high-speed 802.11n solution and their Remote Access Points for reaching our off-campus locations. 802.11n is a rapidly growing part of our network, and we expect to see it comprise the majority of clients in the near future."
Aruba's Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology lowers deployment and maintenance costs by automating site surveys and using infrastructure-based controls to optimize the performance of Wi-Fi clients in real-time. By controlling how Wi-Fi clients interact, ARM helps ensure that 802.11n data, voice, and video applications have sufficient network resources, including airtime, to operate properly.
"The Universidad de Valladolid demonstrates that institutions with 802.11a/b/g wireless networks have an economical means to support their legacy equipment even as they migrate to 802.11n," said Jose Tormo, Aruba's Iberia sales director. "A 'rip-and-replace' strategy for network upgrading is no longer necessary because Aruba allows universities to upgrade on a schedule and budget that works best for them. We keep it simple: one tool with one common management interface for as many devices and vendors as you like."
