Streamline unied network and access management

HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) enables single-pane-of-glass management, which

simplies and automates the management of increasingly complex wired and wireless

networks. IMC also enables comprehensive management of multivendor environments; and it

coordinates the ows and services across security, mobility, and access. Your IT administrators

can establish and enforce granular and consistent network access policies for wired and

wireless users to protect your IT assets, mitigate risks, improve network availability, and ensure

regulatory compliance.

For granular network and application access, IMC manages user-access control andidentity-based policies to help your IT managers overcome the complex security challenges

associated with BYOD. It supports wired and wireless device onboarding, provisioning, and

monitoring. A self-registration portal, provided by the IMC, for guests and personally-owned

devices automates the onboarding process and uses advanced device ngerprinting to reduce

the administrative burden, so that you can support your organizations BYOD initiatives with

speed and ease.

The IMC Endpoint Admission Defense (EAD) module integrates with Citrix XenMobile and

MobileIron Mobile Device Management (MDM) applications to provide the mobile device

posturing required to verify that all endpoint devices accessing the corporate network are

healthy and compliant with access policies. IMC relies on the posturing data returned from the

MDM server to determine compliance and extend consistent access policies.

Leverage a simple way to print and sharewithApple Bonjour

The HP 800 Series makes it easy to deploy Bonjour5in large campus environmentswithout

impacting the performance, security, or eciency of your network. The HP solution oers:

Bonjour gateway:This simplies the discovery of Bonjour services across subnets and VLAN

by relaying Bonjour trac between interfaces connected to the controller. When you enable

the Bonjour gateway, trac can be exchanged between subnets. T his allows your wireless iOS

users to discover and use printers or Apple TV devices located on dierent subnets.

HP Zerocast:This enhances the performance and eciency of your wireless network by

removing the network congestion caused by Bonjours heavy reliance on multicast. It keeps

track of Bonjour responses and queries and selectively forwards these announcements to

interested wireless devices. With Zerocast, your access points only send service requests to

devices that can receive them. Similarly, service responses will only be unicasted to devices

that have requested the serv ice in the last seven seconds. Moreover, all the decisions are

made by the access points, improving the scalability of your network signicantly.

Access control:With Bonjour trac ltering your network, administrators can control how

inbound or outbound Bonjour announcements are handled. Filtering can be applied to a virtua

service community (VSC), group of access points, or user prole, as required.

Gain from robust security and threat protection

HP helps you take a unied, multilayer approach to security by reducing security holes and

risks, oering peace of mind for you and your users. With the IMC User Access Manager (UAM),

you can enforce uniform security policies and assign consistent access privileges across the

entire enterprise network. The IMC E AD module provides comprehensive device-admission-

control capabilities that help mitigate security r isks associated with BYOD. The IMC User

Behavior Auditor module gives your administrators detailed visibility into user activity to assess

productivity, audit compliance, and isolate security threats.

Thats not all. The HP 800 Series provides integrated wireless intrusion detection and

prevention (IDS/IPS) and enables virtual service domains to deploy security policies by

department or location. Integrated wireless IDS/IPS detects and blocks wireless threats with

predened policy-based security and enables packet-trigger containment via knowledge-base

heuristics. It uses classication and mitigation techniques to block unauthorized wireless trac

without disrupting the performance of authorized wireless devices. Finally, an embedded

rewall provides role- or SSID-based access to protect clients from outside attacks and restrict

access to specic network resources.

Know that your investments are protected

With over 50 switch models supporting OpenFlow, a complete SDN architecture, and an

open SDN ecosystem, HP continues to lead SDN enablement. By extending SDN to the WLAN

through OpenFlow-enabled access points,6HP is enabling organizations to leverage new SDN

applications across the wired and wireless network. OpenFlow support delivers investment

protection, as it does not require you to rip and replace your existing infrastructure. You can

enable it with a free software upgrade.
