Capacity, efficiency, and performance for advanced connectivity

In a previous video blog we looked at how organisations can gain control over who can access their network using one of 802.1x or a private pre-shared key.

Sitting behind either of these solutions are user profiles, which are stored on either a RADIUS server, access point or Aerohive's HiveManager.

In this video blog we take a closer look at user profiles, and how they can be provisioned to help network managers give each wireless user a unique experience, while increasing security.

Your network works, right? So what’s there to worry about? Well actually, quite a lot.

It goes without saying that these days, almost all businesses and organisations rely on their IT for virtually everything. And the network is the backbone on which all their IT services depend. 

Despite this, many businesses and organisations have either inappropriate hardware and/or software, or appropriate infrastructure that has not been optimally configured, secured or managed.

One of the main reasons for this is that IT is a fast-moving world, and today’s networks - and the context they are operating in - are substantially different from those of even a decade ago.

A disclaimer before this blog post kicks off. Clearly some readers will have knowledge on the subject matter and the reason cables are just as important as ever, however I do not expect all readers, or the colleagues of readers, to share this insider knowledge.
