This paper discusses the controller-based architecture was created to solve manageability, mobility (as opposed to portability), and high operational expenditure (OPEX) problems that were prevalent in autonomous (fat, thick, standalone) AP implementations.
Single sign-on (SSO) has a complicated history but this technical guide can bring you up to date quickly on how the main protocols for SSO - OpenID and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) - compare and how they can be connected to the pieces you already have.
This presentation transcript explores the possibility of making the process of connecting to Wi-Fi services as easy, seamless and secure as today's 3G cellular networks
Researchers estimate the number of IoT connections will reach 30.9 billion by 2025. Nowadays, IoT protocols are as critical to the existence of IoT as the things themselves. Technologists can select from multiple communication protocols when building a network to serve their IoT ecosystem. In this infographic, we list the most common ones.
This exclusive resource explains the differences between MPLS and IPSec, detailing the benefits and drawbacks to each, as well as the overall benefits that can be achieved by migrating to MPLS.
The key takeaway here is that inter-AP protocols are free, but controllers are not. In a market where all enterprise-class APs cost roughly the same, removing the controller hardware and feature licensing from the equation results in an immediate and extremely significant CAPEX decrease.
Instead of regurgitating an architecture where costly, centralized controllers are needed, Aerohive followed the original intent of the 802.11 standard designers more closely and brought the technology to maturity. This paper explores how inter-AP protocols can execute the same functions performed by centralized controllers with lower cost.
As the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 occurs, the challenge of accommodating both protocols becomes a big challenge. Learn about four transition technologies, along with their advantages and disadvantages.
This TechGuide explores the driving trends of advanced WAN management and monitoring tools growth, the impact of virtualization and understanding how the new generation of WAN management and monitoring tools can help you achieve optimum performance.
