Get Your Wi-Fi Ready for the iPad
Apple has sold over 52 million iPhones and iPads in the first half of 2011. These employee-owned consumer devices are making their way to the workplace creating a new set of security and management challenges for IT departments. Aruba has developed a new solution to help customers scale their "existing" Wi-Fi network (including Cisco Wi-Fi) and IT helpdesk processes to support productivity enhancing bring-your-own-device initiatives. Aruba's clientless solution provides a mechanism to secure, provision and manage employee-owned devices while minimizing IT overhead. |

Onboarding Personal Devices to Corporate Networks
Many IT organizations are being asked to allow personal devices onto corporate networks.
