Why should your online experience on Wi-Fi be any different than your experience online using a wired network? To me, connectivity should be virtually automatic.
When I bought my first personal laptop before going to college in the summer of 2006, I never even thought about needing to plug it into an Ethernet port to connect to the Internet, but that port was there, just in case I ever needed it (I didn’t). And now, in 2011, tablets like the iPad don’t even have Ethernet ports! Gone are the days when Wi-Fi was just a cool thing to have; today it’s a necessity to be connected. People move. Networks must follow.
Earlier this week, our client Aruba Networks launched The Mobile Virtual Enterprise (MOVE) to make wired and wireless networking easier for enterprises. MOVE is an architecture and suite of products that brings together wired and wireless networking, so corporate IT departments can easily provide secure access for the increasing number and types of devices being used in the workplace.
And it benefits employees, too. With MOVE, you no longer have to beg your IT department to allow your iPad onto the corporate network. Using Aruba’s Mobile Device Access Control (MDAC) your iPad will register itself to the network, automate a certificate of installation, and that’s it, access granted! It’s a win/win for both parties - you’re happy because you can now use your cool iPad at work while the IT department is satisfied because your device(and the corporate network) is secure.
As more mobile devices continue to flood the workplace, it’s increasingly important to have a network that was made to support them. Aruba is making this possible.
Don’t take it all from me; check out what some other people have to say about MOVE:

“New Aruba products blend Wi-Fi, wired access at network edge”
