AirDefense Infrastructure Management

Multi-Vendor Management
Allows configuration and control of multi-vendor/heterogeneous WLAN infrastructure environments, enabling simplified WLAN management at a lower TCO.

Centralised Management
A single console provides aggregated views of the data on multiple appliances and a single point for configuration changes.  Providing a holistic view into the network streamlines monitoring of security events, automates management, and reduces the resolution time of network issues, thereby improving productivity.

Policy-Based Fault Management
The solution supports a variety of back-end management protocols to incorporate multiple vendor platforms and presents a normalised representation of statistics, configuration and faults to the administrator. Simply put, users can define network configuration profiles and effortlessly apply them to different portions of the network hierarchy, ultimately reducing the amount of administrative time required to manage the wireless LAN.

Automated Discovery
Plug-in architecture abstracts vendor and client specific attributes from the end user device, and allows the system to rapidly add new models without changing the UI or upgrading the system. Reduces staging and provisioning requirements for new deployments, devices additions, or hardware changes to the existing network.

Custom Reporting
Customisable reports can be created using the systems Report Builder tool. Network administrators can customise content, scheduling, formatting and delivery options.
