Santa Clara, Calif. - June 13, 2011 - OpSource, Inc., the leader in enterprise cloud and managed hosting, today announced that Aerohive Networks, the pioneer in controller-less Wi-Fi and cloud-enabled networking, has selected OpSource to augment the hosting of its HiveManager Online, a cloud-based WLAN network management system. OpSource Cloud Hosting offers the security, performance, SLA assurances and ease of use necessary to enable Aerohive to scale HiveManager Online, enabling the company to reduce management overhead without any service degradation.
“Moving HiveManager to the cloud allowed Aerohive to reach a broader audience of mid-sized enterprises looking for a more scalable and cost-effective way to manage their wireless network. Network management has gone the way of the rest of the enterprise—to the cloud,” said Stephen Philip, vice president of corporate and product marketing for Aerohive. “When success dictated that we expand our HiveManager Online solution, we found OpSource’s Cloud provided the security, performance and diversity that we needed from a cloud hosting provider.”
Aerohive delivers a differentiated WLAN architecture that extends intelligence to the access point, eliminating the need for expensive controllers or on-premise management. Aerohive leveraged the software architecture of HiveManager and moved it to the cloud. HiveManager Online is a multi-tenant, on-demand, software-as-a-service (SaaS) application that more effectively addresses mid-sized enterprise requirements by eliminating the CapEx and complexity associated with enterprise Wi-Fi management. Customers can simply log into HiveManager Online and manage their network via a secure and highly-available cloud platform.
“OpSource was consistently at the top of the cloud comparison reports with the fastest cloud. We chose OpSource because it provided both low latency and high security at a great value,” said Lin Jiang vice president of technical operations for Aerohive. “Implementation on the OpSource Cloud was easy. OpSource’s team was helpful when we were getting started. Once we got it up and running, we didn’t need much assistance.”
“Aerohive is a pioneer and innovator in Wireless LAN architecture. They were the first to eliminate WLAN controllers and distribute control functions to the access points, reducing cost and complexity of the WLAN. Then, they moved the network management system into the cloud to further improve the cost-effectiveness of its wireless LAN solution,” said Keao Caindec, SVP and chief marketing officer of OpSource. “Aerohive is a great example of how the cloud is changing the way companies reach new customers, improve efficiency and stay ahead of the competition.”
This solution is part of OpSource’s award-winning suite of Cloud Hosting services that enable organizations to experience the cost benefits of the public cloud while mitigating the ease of use, security, control and integration issues that have inhibited the adoption of cloud services in the past.
