Press Release:

Introducing MOVE: Next-Generation Network Access Products from Aruba

The onslaught of Wi-Fi-enabled mobile devices brings new challenges to IT departments looking to speed service delivery while lowering costs and risk. Access networks are critical to meeting these challenges and the recent growth of enterprise mobility has changed requirements for how these networks are built and operated.

To address these needs, Aruba announced the Mobile Virtual Enterprise (MOVE), a mobility-centric access network that gives IT departments unprecedented visibility and control over mobile users, devices and applications.

As part of the MOVE architecture, Aruba introduced a series of products that enable users to securely access the mobile enterprise network, regardless of their location. Together, they eliminate the cost and complexity of managing separate wired and wireless networks as well as access policies.
