Lots of people bring their own devices to work. Shouldn’t those devices, whether they’re Apple iPads or other tablets get network security and policies applied to them?
Aruba is aiming to make it easier for enterprise admins to control and manage mobile devices on a network, including new Apple iPad tablets. The new products are all part of Aruba’s Mobile Virtual Enterprise (MOVE) initiative which aims to enable management of both wired and wireless networks.
“So if we can identify an Apple iPad as it logs onto the network, when someone brings the device to work, we can apply a different security policy for that particular device,” Ozer Dondurmacioglu, product marketing manager at Aruba Networks told InternetNews.com.
While management of both wired and wireless is a key focus for Aruba, they’re also rolling out new wireless access points that take advantage of the latest Atheros silicon.
