Aerohive Cloud Services Platform

Aerohive’s cloud-enabled services line-up includes:

HiveManager Online

The HiveManager Online Network Management Service is an enterprise-class management system, delivered as a cloud-enabled service for Aerohive devices.

HiveManager Online offers the same simple policy creation, firmware upgrades, and centralised network management options as the on-premise version of HiveManager. The advantage is not deploying another device in your network. Instead, HiveManager Online is hosted within secure Tier IV SAS 70 Type II data centres, with scheduled backups and disaster-recovery capabilities.

HiveManager Online is designed to make it cost effective to start small and grow a network with no upfront capital costs beyond access devices. HiveManager is a vital component of Aerohive’s unique Branch on Demand Network-as-a-Service subscription offering, designed to make it easy and cost effective to roll out remote access to branch offices, remote users and teleworkers with zero-CAPEX.

HiveManager Online comes in two flavours:

Express designed for smaller deployments, streamlines the interface without compromising on enterprise-class features.

Enterprise offers the full capabilities of the HiveManager platform for larger organizations with sophisticated policy sets and the management of routers and switches as well as wi-fi access points.

HiveManager Online enables administrators to start with Express and seamlessly upgrade to Enterprise as their needs change.

ID Manager

Aerohive’s ID Manager is the first enterprise guest management system to leverage the cloud to simplify and automate the deployment and maintenance of enterprise guest management.

Aerohive simplifies guest management by combining industry-leading authentication integration with the Aerohive Cloud Services Platform to eliminate the need for any additional hardware or software to deliver a scalable, simple-to-administer enterprise guest management solution that streamlines the on-boarding of visitors. Whether required at a single site or over a globally distributed, multi-lingual company, ID Manager’s cloud-enabled flexibility and simplicity provides a complete solution for every site.

Network-as-a-Service (NaaS)

Aerohive Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) provides a cloud-enabled pay-as-you-go procurement model for network infrastructure and services.

Just as HiveManager Online has been available as a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), now your Branch on Demand solution from Aerohive Networks is also available as a subscription. The program currently includes the Branch Routers and the Cloud VPN Gateway.

The need to support teleworkers, home-shoring and micro-branches requires deployment of equipment to 100s or 1000s of sites. The number and location of these workers will fluctuate significantly, making long-term capital equipment purchases and inventory management costly and risky.

Aerohive NaaS combined with its industry leading cloud-enabled architecture enables:

• No long term commitments. Only 1 year terms
• Complete bundles, including product, cloud management, updates, and technical support to simplify the distributed deployments
• Inexpensive replacement or upgrading of equipment
• Minimization of moving and inventory management costs

The NaaS subscription terms are for one year. All NaaS devices come bundled with HiveManager Online device management licenses. Before the service expires, your HiveManager Online management screen will provide warnings of upcoming expirations. If you no longer need the service for that branch, simply do not renew the subscription, and the device will be de-activated and recycled.

The installation of a branch router or Cloud VPN Gateway with HiveManager Online management is no different under a NaaS subscription option than normal.
