Teleworkers and Micro-Branches Wi-Fi and VPN

Teleworker or micro-branch locations typically feature very small deployments of only a few access points. But while the user count may be small, the cost of support is not; particularly when the number of such locations is considered. Deploying a VPN typically requires enormous amounts of management and support, especially if the VPN is going to a non-technical user. Wireless access points deployed to these locations typically do not feature the enterprise-class features that users require, and add additional management problems as well. Finally, no matter how small the remote location is, corporate security policies still need to be followed; an impossibility with a consumer-class device.

Telework and Small Branch Networking Solution

Aerohive has the answer. Our HiveOS operating system enable both our  routers and our access points to communicate with each other and to automatically get their configuration from our centralized management system, 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, or train users on VPN use. No need to worry about insecure off-the shelf 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 access points and routers, managing a thousand devices is literally as easy as managing one.
