Companies Forge Worldwide Agreement to Define the Next Phase of Enterprise Network Infrastructure
Aruba Networks (Aruba) today
announced a worldwide agreement with Alcatel (Paris: CGEP.PA; NYSE: ALA)
focused on the enterprise mobility market. Together, the two companies are
ushering in the next phase of enterprise infrastructure deployment being
driven by user mobility.
Under terms of the agreement, Aruba's products and technology will be
integrated into Alcatel's innovative CrystalSec security framework for
delivering converged enterprise mobility solutions. Alcatel's data networking
business and Aruba will deliver a comprehensive set of mobile LAN products
that automatically identify and authenticate users as they connect to the
network. The joint solution establishes the mobile user's identity and
subsequently enables "follow-me" user privileges, security and
services -- something no other enterprise mobility system provides today.
This sophisticated technology gives corporations the power to manage and
secure people rather than ports.
"Wireless access is essential, but not sufficient for enterprise
mobility," said Don LeBeau, president and CEO of Aruba Networks. "Mobility is
an irreversible trend that is reshaping the way corporate networks are built,
managed and secured. Alcatel and Aruba are leading the way to help companies
not only deal with the impact of mobility, but leverage it as a
differentiator."
"Enterprises everywhere are looking for more than just wireless LAN
technology. They need a clear path to enabling true mobility across the
organization with access to all business applications and the highest security
guarantee," said Tom Burns, general manager of Alcatel's data networking
business. "Alcatel and Aruba are driving this transformation, empowering
enterprises to address the fundamental new requirements caused by user
mobility." The agreement will help Alcatel's data networking business advance
its market leadership from first-generation wireless LAN systems to a new
class of converged, secure and scalable enterprise mobility solutions.
