The New Alliance Will Help Joint Customers Build Next Generation
Cloud-Enabled Enterprise Networks
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Aerohive
Networks® (NYSE:HIVE) and Juniper
Networks (NYSE:JNPR), the industry leader in network innovation,
today announced a new technology alliance to deliver a simple, secure,
and cloud-managed wired and wireless solution to distributed

local government customer segments. Aerohive cloud Wi-Fi solutions
coupled with Juniper Networks high performance switches, comprehensive
network management, and security solutions will help enterprises
simplify network planning, orchestration, and deployment.
The increasing consumption of applications and mobile-first access in
the workplace is driving tremendous change in wireless and wired network
infrastructure for today’s distributed enterprises. Businesses face new
challenges of securing the network for a diverse set of devices with
effective strategies for guests, bring your own device (BYOD), and
Internet of Things (IoT). At the same time, organizations need to

from the wireless edge to the core, all with shrinking IT budgets and a
lack of IT expertise at enterprise branch locations.
To address these challenges, Aerohive and Juniper together deliver an
interoperable solution for enterprises. The flexibility and simplicity
of cloud managed Wi-Fi offered by Aerohive, combined with the high
performance of Juniper Networks solutions is targeted at eliminating IT
burden for enterprises with a large number of remote locations.
