Branch Office VPN, Wired and Wireless Access

IT staff often face a difficult choice when implementing remote or branch offices. On the one hand, these sites are typically staffed by non-technical employees, which can make it expensive to deploy and maintain full VPN access and WiFi networks to them. At the same time, these branches are becoming increasingly customer-facing and mission-critical, so any downtime or compromise of enterprise security features directly impacts customer satisfaction, privacy, and, ultimately, company revenue. Without local support, the remote administration of the VPN and the wireless LAN has also become a major concern.

Distributed Enterprise Networking Solution

Aerohive has the answer. Our HiveOS operating system enables both our  routers and our 802.11n access points to communicate with each other and to automatically get their configuration from our centralized HiveManger. Admins just need to create the configuration centrally, then send out the devices. No need to install VPNs, download client software onto each user device, pre-stage VPN equipment, or train users on VPN use. No need to worry about insecure small business or consumer-class access points, or ongoing management issues. When the router or AP is powered up, it will automatically find its HiveManager and download the configuration.

And because HiveManager provides a single centralized interface to configure and manage both Aerohive access points and routers, managing a thousand devices is literally as easy as managing one.

Aerohive’s Branch on Demand can make rolling out a remote/branch network even easier. This unique subscription service combines the ease of deployment of Aerohive branch routers with our cloud-based HiveManager Online product to reduce CAPEX and make provisioning remote and branch offices simple and cost effective.
