Aerohive Networks†(NYSE: HIVE), a Cloud†Networking leader, has introduced Cloud Configuration Groups, a new and advanced operational micro-segmentation technology, that with just a few clicks enables “on the fly” operational grouping of discrete sets of Aerohive access points, switches, and routers.
The new Cloud Config Groups enhance Aerohive’s already existing and unique network-policy architecture and compliment traditional segmentation technologies (IP, VLAN, ACL, etc.) by enabling an IT administrator to select and structure (operationally micro-segment) any number of discrete Aerohive access points, switches, or routers on a single site, across multiple sites, or across their entire enterprise. Cloud Configuration Groups, with a few clicks, enable an IT administrator to operationally and dynamically segment the access network to align with the needs of the business, instead of struggling to adapt or settling for the limitations of traditional segmentation technologies.
Aerohive is credited as a pioneer in cloud networking and radically simplified management of distributed enterprises by its network-policy architecture that can combine many configuration items, such as SSID names, security settings, and geo-personalized Captive Web Portals into single sets of parameters. With Cloud Configuration Groups, Aerohive has added a new and very powerful dimension to its scalable policy management, by dramatically simplifying the IT administrator’s workflow to deploy, manage and update discrete sets of Aerohive devices without losing any previous customization or interfering with any traditional segmentation technologies.
