AirMagnet和Aruba将在thecin Las Vegas展会上演示AirMagnet分析器与Aruba移动系统的集成。
AirMagnet and Aruba Networks Announce New WLAN Analyzer Applications on Aruba Networks' Mobility Platform
Wireless LAN industry powerhouses demonstrate benefits of combining leading WLAN analysis software and mobility hardware at Interop
Interop, LAS VEGAS, May 01, 2006 - Today at Interop Las Vegas, AirMagnet, the leader in wireless network assurance, and Aruba Networks, the Mobile Edge Company, announced that AirMagnet's wireless LAN analyzer applications have been enabled to run on Aruba Networks' award-winning wireless LAN (WLAN) and mobility platform, combining the market's most comprehensive wireless troubleshooting and analysis software with the industry's highest performing and most scalable enterprise mobility platform. AirMagnet and Aruba have integrated their respective platforms to deliver world-class mobility systems combined with granular wireless performance management and troubleshooting. AirMagnet's industry-leading WLAN troubleshooting solution will enable enterprise customers to fully leverage Aruba's world-class secure wireless platform to gain expert insight and precise control over their Wi-Fi environment.
Jeff Freeland, CEO of Astreya Partners, a joint reseller of AirMagnet and Aruba, said, "We're very excited about the opportunity to present a blended solution to our global customer base. Aruba has built what we feel is the most advanced and secure wireless LAN equipment available today, while AirMagnet gives us the deep detail to thoroughly investigate every type of wireless issue and provides expert troubleshooting tools to resolve those issues immediately."
The unique capabilities of the Aruba infrastructure enable the AirMagnet analyzer to operate in two modes: passive and active. In passive mode, the analyzer receives a real-time data feed directly from the Aruba mobility controller and access points, which allows for complete monitoring and troubleshooting without interrupting the user's session. The active mode enables the AirMagnet analyzer to control individual access points (APs), so users can perform complete interactive channel, throughput and device analysis. The new AirMagnet analyzer provides a valuable tool for system-wide WLAN troubleshooting and performance management, and easily integrates with new and existing Aruba network installations.
"Aruba and AirMagnet have collaborated on a powerful solution that enables organizations to achieve the best wireless network performance possible," said Greg Yates, executive vice president of AirMagnet. "Integrating the power of our analysis and problem-solving capabilities directly with Aruba's world-class platform is a winning combination for our current customers and any other organizations looking to deploy wireless networks."
"AirMagnet's state-of-the-art tools for WLAN performance management and troubleshooting complement Aruba's secure mobility systems," said Keerti Melkote, co-founder and vice president of marketing for Aruba Networks. "Together, our enterprise customers now have the ability to deploy the industry's best performance analysis through our industry-leading mobility controllers and APs."
Both AirMagnet and Aruba will be demonstrating the integration of AirMagnet's analyzer with Aruba's mobility system at the Interop Conference and Exhibition in Las Vegas from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 2, and Wednesday, May 3, and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, May 4, in booths 211 and 725.
