Previously available solutions require IT departments to rip out much of their existing infrastructure and replace it with an expensive and confusing array of devices. When factoring in the cost of the infrastructure upgrades, Aruba’s ClearPass can save customers up to 76 percent over “forklift” options that lack the full range of capabilities required to deliver comprehensive mobility services management.

Adding to the complexity, Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions, while focusing on the device management, do not typically address the need to provision and control network access for the device, forcing yet another solution for network access controls. Aruba’s ClearPass portfolio integrates network access controls with automated device provisioning and can be deployed on any existing network – wired, wireless or VPN – as a non-disruptive overlay. Aruba ClearPass also automates burdensome policy management and device health checks, enabling IT to onboard and control mobile devices at lower cost and with less complexity while improving network security.

Maimonides Medical Center, the preeminent treatment facility and academic medical center in Brooklyn, N.Y., has deployed an access network based on the Aruba Mobile Virtual Enterprise (MOVE) architecture, with hospital-wide wireless coverage provided by more than 300 Aruba access points. Maimonides also uses Aruba ClearPass for guest access, and its IT leaders are very enthusiastic about the portfolio and its ability to enable no-touch mobile device provisioning, security and management.

Aruba ClearPass is the only solution that integrates all the necessary components for an efficient BYOD workflow, offering a single management platform for all devices, plus the option to license these additional capabilities on the same platform:

• Automated device provisioning: Automatically set VPN, email and network security settings, push enterprise applications and optionally revoke device access privileges

• Self-service mobile device network configuration: Enable Cloud-based self-configuration of a device’s 802.1X network security settings

• Device profiling: Accurately identify devices to determine security requirements and enforce policies based on device type and ownership

• Device risk management: Assess the risk that mobile devices pose to the network, restrict access based on risk level, and remediate compromised devices

• Guest access: Enable secure guest management with fully automated registration workflows, detailed reporting and targeted advertising
