What's available to help you provide a fully secure solution?
Are you looking for WLAN solution that can be overlaid on an existing wired/wireless network or a solution that supports all popular mobile devices in a secure manner or perhaps a solution supporting guests self- registration?
Meru Networks has the complete answer, Identity Manager. Identity Manager is designed from the ground up to be vendor agnostic for both wired and wireless networks. It's simple to deploy and a highly secure BYOD solution with a history of over 2,500 worldwide installs.
Identity Manager is easy on IT resources because of sponsor empowerment where designated associates are authorized to create temporary user access accounts for BYOD guests. And it's easy on guests who have multiple on-boarding options because they are not required to have detailed knowledge of the network architecture.
On-boarding a guest with IDM is a simple as 1, 2, 3. First, the sponsor creates an account for the guest, username and password. Second, the sponsor provides the log-in information to the guest via email, hard copy or SMS. Third, the user enters log-on information when challenged at a captive portal. It's just that simple.
To further enhance the BYOD solution, IDM provides smart connect, an optional feature that automates provisioning mobile clients' network access profiles. Once registered under SmartConnect, users will automatically be registered without intervention when they enter the coverage of that specific wireless LAN. IDM is designed to support all popular mobile devices, including Apple iPhone, iPad, Windows, Google Android and Linux based systems.
IDM can assist in managing both employee and company owned devices and apply different policies accordingly. The administrator has full control over provisioning the feature rich IDM environment, having real time access to network and user status. Plus, it includes historical reporting for troubleshooting. IDM is designed to provide the maximum flexibility for BYOD support, including multiple security and policy options. Where applicable, businesses may take advantage of IDM property management system, PMS or standard credit card interface for billing for network usage. A sponsor is responsible for approving or establishing user accounts for access to a network. For the guests under a sponsor's purview, the access rights are established at the point of need requiring no IT intervention.
Meru Identity Manager brings to the market, the best in class solution for BYOD, providing the broadest choice in secure on-boarding, server deployment and policy management options, to ensure full control of the network.
