CELSA Deploys Aruba Wi-Fi and Airwave Management in the Most Challenging Industrial Environments
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Aruba Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARUN), a global leader in distributed enterprise network solutions, today announced that CELSA GROUPa", one of Europea™s leading steel manufacturers, is deploying Arubaa™s wireless solutions and AirWave management solution to replace an outdated wireless network. The solution is supplied, supported and managed by Ambar Telecomunicaciones, an Aruba Platinum Partner.
"A steel factory and warehouse is a very difficult environment for any IT solution"
aA steel factory and warehouse is a very difficult environment for any IT solution,a said Juan Jos© Luna, Telecommunications Project Leader CELSA Barcelona. aExtremely high temperatures, high levels of electrically conductive steel dust in the air, and a constantly changing RF environment: Despite all of these challenges, the Aruba solution is incredibly reliable. Beyond the ruggedness of the solution, it is the flexibility and ease of management that we really like about Aruba.a
CELSA GROUPa" operates in twelve countries across Europe and have so far installed Aruba in six countries. The majority of the sites use Arubaa™s [ Virtual Branch Network ] solution, configuring the wireless access points as [ Remote APs ] and centrally managing them using the [ AirWave Wireless Management Suite ].
Arubaa™s Virtual Branch Networking solution allows any Aruba access point to be placed on a remote site and connected into the corporate network directly over a wide area network. This flexibility allows teleworkers and small branch offices to be supported by a family of low-cost, centrally-managed Remote Access Points (RAPs), and larger sites to be easily provisioned with any standard campus 802.11a/b/g/n access point without having to deploy a supporting infrastructure at the remote location.
aAruba allows us to migrate our IT systems site by site; we dona™t need hours of planning. Making changes to the configuration is equally easy a" for example changing device authentication on a handheld scanner is only a matter of a momenta™s work, so much easier than our legacy solution,a continued Luna.
Arubaa™s AirWave Wireless Management Suite eliminates the need for separate management tools for each vendora™s hardware deployed in a network. It supports historical reporting, root-cause analysis and event correlation, and real time network monitoring that automatically tracks every wireless user and device connected to the network. aWith AirWave we can find out in moments where someone is located no matter which wireless infrastructure they are connected to and provide them with the support they need. Best of all, the management is provided as a managed service from Ambar,a concluded Luna.
