HP recently announced new unified wired and wireless solutions that deliver a simple, scalable and secure network supporting bring-your-own-device (BYOD) initiatives while creating incremental revenue opportunities for partners.
The new solutions and services, introduced at the HP Global Partner Conference, include the industry’s only complete solution that supports growing BYOD initiatives. This solution delivers unified wired and wireless management and switching platforms that create a single network for wired and wireless connectivity.
The offerings also enable partners to leverage the HP FlexNetwork architecture to better support their clients’ BYOD essentials with new device on-boarding and provisioning functionalities through a single management application and automated security with software-defined networks (SDN) technology, while being supported by mobility connectivity services.
According to Gartner, every business needs a clearly articulated position on BYOD, and formal BYOD programs are a fast-growing phenomenon due to the booming, innovative mobile device market.
New HP BYOD solutions enable clients to double network scalability over legacy infrastructures to:
– Increase network performance by up to 100 percent, while speeding data transfer by up to 45 percent with the new OpenFlow-enabled HP 2920 Switch Series.
– Improve network availability and lower costs by up to 54 percent with the HP 10500/7500 Unified Wired-WLAN Module.
