Management pur sang
Aerohive's HiveManager NMS is a central management system for Aerohive HiveAPs. HiveManager enables simple policy creation, firmware upgrades, configuration updates, and centralized monitoring throughout the entire Aerohive deployment, whether building-wide, campus-wide, or global - all from a single console. Because the HiveManager is not actively involved in passing traffic or in making forwarding decisions, it eliminates the traffic bottlenecks and complexities of controller-based solutions, particularly in distributed environments. So control is distributed, while management is centralized. Essentially, the HiveManager solution delivers the benefits of both autonomous APs and controller-based solutions, without the drawbacks of either approach.
Aerohive's HiveManager NMS family includes:
- HiveManager Online
- HiveManager VMware virtual appliance
- HiveManager 1U hardware appliance, which supports up to 500 access points
- HiveManager 2U hardware appliance, which provides redundancy and supports up to 5,000 access points
Operation
All of the HiveManager platforms support two modes of operation. Express Mode provides a simplified work flow with full functionality, typically for one enterprise SSID and one guest SSID, while Enterprise Mode delivers complete configuration flexibility for complex enterprise deployments with multiple user profiles and policies.
A seamless upgrade path from Express Mode to Enterprise Mode and between all four HiveManager products enables Aerohive enterprise wireless LAN solutions to grow along with you.
