The
IT networking needs of campuses and data centres can now be addressed with
ease, following Dell’s announcement of the introduction of new capabilities for
campus and data centre environments. These include the launch of new
cloud-managed wired and wireless solutions powered by Dell and Aerohive,
Operating System 10 milestones and in-rack platforms for the data centre.
The
new solution incorporates Dell N-Series switches and Aerohive access points
into Aerohive’s HiveManager NG – a next-generation cloud-based management
solution. This solution greatly simplifies end-user access, setting a new
standard for wired and wireless network convergence by bringing
enterprise-class management to the public or private cloud.
According
to the Country Manager, Dell Nigeria, Akin Banuso, the IT solutions provider is
building on its One Network campus vision by collaborating with Aerohive to
deliver a new cloud-managed solution that integrates and manages wired and
wireless infrastructure.“Major trends such as cloud and
software-defined solutions create a dynamically changing IT landscape, both on
campus and in the data centre. These new Dell Networking solutions help our
customers navigate these changes with future-ready architectures, open
technology and hyper-scale inspired efficiency.” Banuso remarked.
Further
simplifying wired and wireless converged network management, Dell has expanded
its industry-leading ProSupport to provide users with a single point of contact
for unified network support. Through SupportAssist technology, ProSupport
offers proactive and predictive automated support for issue prevention and
resolution.
Commenting
on the milestone, the CEO of Aerohive, David Flynn observed that the milestones
demonstrate its vision of providing streamlined operations, configuration,
monitoring and troubleshooting for all elements of customers’ networks. “We believe cloud management has the
opportunity to transform the way our customers serve their customers. We are
proud to extend enterprise-class cloud management that Aerohive customers use
to manage our access points to Dell’s switches”. Flynn said.
Dell
is driving ahead with its Operating System 10 (OS10) development with community
building and integration projects including Open Compute Project’s (OCP)
Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) and partners Ansible, F5 and
Silverpeak.
