The popularity of smart mobile terminals has not only brought about the explosion of mobile applications, but also made wireless the mainstream access method for enterprises. The popularity of BYOD and cloud applications has made enterprise WLAN architecture not only face the challenges of capacity, security and management, but also brought difficulties to its reliability and cost deployment. We know that the current enterprise WLAN architecture includes centralized data forwarding and control, redundant centralized data forwarding and control, centralized control and distributed forwarding, but in these solutions, AC is undoubtedly the core and bottleneck of the entire architecture. Meet the needs of reliability, high performance and low cost. Especially with the advent of the 802.11ac Gigabit high-speed network, the high-speed mobile client brings huge traffic and brings great challenges to the balanced load of the entire network. As the core of the entire enterprise WLAN, AC not only has to withstand the surge of network traffic, but also faces huge network management challenges, which can easily lead to single points of failure and performance bottlenecks. Can you abandon the AC? Can the AP only perform the dual functions of control and forwarding? Will the WLAN architecture be simpler and smarter, and the network management will be simpler? Will such an AP pose a cost challenge? Aerohive proposes a kind of The fully distributed forwarding and control WLAN architecture truly abandons the AC and relies on intelligent APs to build and control the entire wireless network, bringing cost, management, security and other advantages. At Aerohive's annual strategy conference, Aerohive does for us. Detailed interpretation. At the conference, Liu Changming, the founder and CEO of Aerohive CTO, said that the rapid increase in high-speed equipment and BYOD poses a huge challenge to network management, and the centralized architecture designed to manage and guarantee the convenience of WLAN can no longer meet the needs of enterprises. It's best for enterprises not to adopt a 'patch-and-get' approach in wireless and branch network infrastructure. Enterprises should preferably use distributed data to focus on flat management so that they can easily and uniformly view network health and thus more effectively solve various problems. The problem and the service interruption will be minimal. Of course, centralized management does not mean that the management device must be located in the local hardware. Since the management traffic is a tape-type type, the management device can be easily deployed in the cloud at random, and various functions will still be completely effective. In addition, seamless mobility and direct management, deployment, and expansion are key attributes of today's network enterprises. The network must be cost-effective in terms of installation, deployment, and maintenance, enabling organizations to realize the full benefits of wireless device growth and fragmentation. To this end, Aerohive proposes a collaborative control wireless network architecture built by intelligent APs, which combines enterprise access points with a set of collaborative control protocols to provide all the functions that WLAN solutions can provide without using a controller. Generate overlay networks that are easier to deploy and scale, lower total cost, more reliable, easier to upgrade, and higher performance. It is reported that the smart AP has complete data forwarding and control functions, and can also communicate with neighboring APs in real time and share their respective control information. At the same time, the load balancing mechanism is used to optimize the coverage of all APs, and the APs can automatically adjust the channels to achieve seamless roaming and ensure user experience. In terms of management, the intelligent AP provides a unified management wireless access solution, which can uniformly use the cloud-based management mode to perform functions such as switch access authentication, access policy management, and wireless policy. Enterprise customers can solve the problem of wireless access and wired access very simply, enabling enterprises to unify the network anytime and anywhere. Not only is management simpler, but Aerohive is also unique in terms of the cost that users care most about. Compared with other AP products, smart APs only use higher performance CPUs. There is no difference in antenna technology and access quantity. All the advantages are derived from the network architecture and the communication protocol running on its SOC chip is better. The cost is comparable to that of other APs, so the overall cost of the Aerohive wireless solution is reduced by nearly 50%. Most notably, Aerohive can achieve fine-grained application identification, such as the status of various applications such as P2P and video downloads within the network, and bandwidth management for each application, which helps to optimize the enterprise network. More than just making architecture and management simpler and less costly, Aerohive enables enterprise customers to achieve mission-critical reliability, granular security and policy enforcement, and network security. Liu Changming said that Aerohive's systems provide very strong firewall, VPN and other functions, not only provide authentication, intrusion detection and other functions, but also cooperate with Websense and Baracuda to make deeper security applications based on their security APIs. From accessing short device security to data security. When talking about the development strategy of the future Chinese market, Liu Changming said that Aerohive will focus on key markets such as education, medical care, retail/chain, and corporate branches to provide customers with excellent products and solutions. Nearly 100 Chinese companies have enjoyed synergy. The advantages of control architecture. As a company that already has Chinese blood, Aerohive has done a lot of work in localization. Not only has it established the core R&D center and service sales team in Hangzhou, but also launched the Chinese official website to help customers better understand Aerohive. In terms of channels, Aerohive has already reached strategic cooperation with well-known agents such as Digital China, Excellence Tiancheng and Shanghai Huagai, and helped agents to better launch industry solutions. Adhering to the concept of cooperation and win-win, Aerohive will continue to find the most partners, and work with them to find a segment of the market, and constantly look for more business growth points. key chains,liquid keychains,custom pvc keychains,metal keychains,fancy key chains,custom key chains, keychain for kids,keychain for lady Shenzhen Konchang Electronic Technology Co.,Ltd , https://www.konchangs.com
