Springhill Medical Center and Cumberland University Leverage
Aerohive and Brocade Flow-based Wired and Wireless Solutions to
Simplify Ability to Scale Network Capacity
Aerohive Networks® (NYSE:HIVE) and Brocade
(NASDAQ: BRCD) today announced that Springhill Medical
Center and Cumberland University have selected Aerohive and
Brocade® high-performance, secure, easy-to-manage wired and
wireless solutions. The solutions together dramatically
simplify the customers’ ability to scale network capacity as their
wireless needs grow.
News Facts
- Organizations like Springhill Medical
Center and Cumberland University are seeing phenomenal growth in
their Wi-Fi infrastructure needs, driven by the rapid adoption of
smartphones, tablets, and wireless devices. At the same time, Wi-Fi
technology advances, such as 802.11ac with Gigabit Wi-Fi speeds,
put severe demand on wired networks. This has necessitated a shift
to wired networks with the performance, flexibility, and
scalability to grow with enterprises’ changing Wi-Fi needs.
- Springhill Medical Center, a
full-service hospital in Alabama, selected Aerohive and Brocade
solutions to replace its outdated switch infrastructure, support
its Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) and
Allscripts Sunrise platform, and to anticipate the increasing
demands of emerging healthcare technologies. The new network
delivers robust, high availability 10 to 40 GbE for critical
healthcare applications, while also providing rapid ROI with 30%
savings on equipment and significantly reduced maintenance costs.
The solutions together also provide unprecedented visibility into
network traffic and dramatically simplified network
management.
- Cumberland University, a private
university in Tennessee, needed to replace its network core and
edge to support an upgraded wireless network while also delivering
high resiliency, performance, and flexibility for future needs.
Cumberland replaced its wireless network with Aerohive and Brocade
solutions, which now provide a highly scalable network to four
campus locations. As a result, Cumberland has been able to improve
its students’ BYOD experience, which includes mobile courseware,
collaboration tools, and learning resources.
- Aerohive and Brocade deliver a
best-in-class wired and wireless architecture that dramatically
reduces the cost and complexity of scalable distributed wireless
enterprise environments. See details here.
- Together, Aerohive and Brocade allow
administrators to simplify management and reduce the cost of
ownership. The open standards-based Brocade solution provides an
excellent foundation for Aerohive’s simple, secure, and scalable
Wi-Fi solution.
- Aerohive’s scalable distributed
architecture allows customers to grow their wireless network from
one access point to thousands of access points, and across
thousands of locations, with a simple cloud managed mobility
platform. The scalable and distributed Brocade chassis architecture
eliminates the need to pre-determine capacity and makes painful,
expensive rip-and-replace upgrades a thing of the past.
Comments
“We were amazed at the configuration and management simplicity
of the combined Brocade-Aerohive network solution compared to our
old equipment,” said Troy Hopkins, technical services manager,
Springhill Medical Center. “Not only do we save time, but also we
don’t need specialized experts just to manage the network.”
“The physical classroom that we all know is quickly extending to
the cloud so naturally, our students expect convenient access to
courseware and learning resources when and where they choose. The
Brocade-Aerohive stack allows us to reliably deliver a virtual
classroom to students in ways we could not with our legacy
infrastructure,” said William Lambert, director of information
technology, Cumberland University. “Brocade's stacking technologies
and Aerohive's decentralized approach to wireless network
management provide us with the flexibility and scalability we need
to keep pace with the growing array of connected devices, streaming
video, and other applications that put increasing pressure on our
bandwidth resources.”
“Open standards and support for vendor-neutral protocols are
essential attributes of the New IP,” said Jason Nolet, senior vice
president, Switching, Routing and Analytics Products Group,
Brocade. “Brocade and Aerohive are providing enterprises with
mobility solutions based on open standards to realize immediate
savings and enable greater network agility.”
“With Aerohive and Brocade, customers like Springhill Medical
Center and Cumberland University can scale their networks easily,
securely, and affordably as their Wi-Fi needs inevitably grow,”
said Bill Hoppin, vice president of business development,
Aerohive.
