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

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.

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.
