The new paradigm of access to the network: Mobility and the IoT

In the year 2020, there will be more than 21

billion devices connected to the network:

printers, cameras, intelligent lighting, tablets,

mobiles, PCs, plus the millions of sensors of all

types that will also be connected.

It is estimated that only between 30% and 40% of

the devices that connect to a business network

do so through a cable, the rest do it wirelessly.

Therefore, we must be able to control who, what

and from where they connect to our business

network and to define what access policies we

want to apply in each scenario in the simplest

and most granular way possible.

IT departments must provide connectivity, both

to users and to devices, but always with the

necessary security, and they must ensure:

• To always have the devices connected to

the network identified.

• To implement comprehensive policies for all

of the devices connected to the network.

• To protect resources by integrating all of

the security systems implemented on the

network.

Today’s access security solutions should

include profile definition, policy enforcement,

guest access, and incorporation of BYOD (Bring

Your Own Device) among other features, so

that the IT department can be liberated and

strengthened against threats and for the user

experience to be improved.

Main objective

• To detect devices that do not comply with

the rules established by the IT department

before allowing them access to the network.

New Paradigm of Accessto the Network

Mobility and the Internet of Things (IoT) are changing the way in which networks should be managed. It is essential to be able to control who and what device connects to our network if we want to maintain the desired level of security.“



DESIGNERS & ENGINEERS

All companies should be prepared to address the challenges, both existing and unforeseen, that

networks and the sheer number of devices and users to be connected entails. The IT department

will not be able to provide the required quality to all users who decide to work remotely or who

decide to work with a tablet or smartphone. Network Access Control (NAC) is no longer used solely

for evaluations of devices known to the network before they access, but also serves to control the

access of strangers.

In this new scenario, if the wireless network is considered mission critical, the ClearPass solution

is considered even more important to make network operations more efficient.



The ClearPass family of products enables, in a

multivendor network:

ClearPass gives employees the ability to

collaborate from anywhere, securely, over

wireless or wired connections, and offers at

least a 10-15% saving in IT time and resources.

Comprehensive Management of the Network

ClearPass, through its API, integrates with:

• airWatch

• ArcSight

• CheckPoint

• Cisco

• Citrix

• F5

• Fortinet

• IBM

• Intel

• Juniper

• Microsoft

• Palo Alto Networks

Network Environments Where it is key

Viewing who, what and from where our

network is accessed.

Business networks that store

critical information.

Approval or denial of access to our

network depending on the security

policies we have defined for our

company.

Business networks Wi-Fi.Integration with third-party products to

fine tune the security we provide to our

network.

Companies where the

implementation of the IoT is planned.

Aruba ClearPass Policy ManagerTotal Visibility and Security in Both Wired and Wireless

Environments

In addition to deploying Aruba Wireless to your

customers, you can propose to implement

Aruba’s ClearPass Policy Manager platform

for full control of wired and wireless network

access, secure device access and guest access,

providing a complete solution for access to the

network.

Aruba’s ClearPass Policy Manager provides

an integrated solution that supports corporate

devices, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), as

well as guest access needs through a single

management solution.

ClearPass is critical in the IT department.

They can use the same tool to unify wireless

and wired networks, the integration of the two

environments and the devices that connect to

each.

The ClearPass AAA (Authentication,

Authorisation, and Accounting) Policy and

Service Solution provides device profile

definition, a web-based administrative interface,

and comprehensive reporting with real-time

alerts.

It enables:

• Having visibility and control of the

applications that use the network of your

clients.

• Customisation and simplification of guest

access to these networks.

Hybrid Cloud: Accelerate your BusinessAruba’s ClearPass for MS Skype for Business

Aruba ClearPass and HPE Data Centre Solutions

Aruba ClearPass for IoT (Internet of Things) Projects

It deploys Aruba ClearPass to enable Network Access Control on both wired and wireless

networks and integrates Skype for Business (formerly Microsoft Lync) for unified communications

management.

Aruba solutions are key to success in the implementation and deployment of Skype in companies.

Using voice, video and meeting features in all departments, the user experience is critical. You

can integrate Aruba with the Skype for Business SDN API and apply QoS for voice and video

transmission control with the highest quality with an uninterrupted service guaranteed.

It combines the Aruba campus and HPE Data Centre solutions to improve collaboration and to

reduce IT support needs by up to 15%.

The data centre infrastructure must be able to be combined with the switches at the perimeter of

the network. With HPE, you have the best solution for combining the back-end of the network with

the HPE FlexFabric data centre switches with the Aruba campus switches on the front-end of the

network.

The IoT can offer intelligent spaces; intelligent conference rooms, location services, surveillance

and real-time monitoring are just some of the applications that make the work environment more

efficient and productive. The latest studies conducted in companies that are implementing the IoT

indicate that their adoption provides an increase of up to 81% in efficiency and innovation.
