Aerohive Networks launches Aerohive A3 cloud-access management platform

Aerohive Networks announced Aerohive A3, a cloud-access management platform, intended for release in early Q2. Aerohive A3 will provide a portfolio of access-management functionality to enable onboarding and security for Internet of Things (IoT), BYOD and standard wired and wireless clients. The Aerohive A3 platform includes capabilities to deliver a complete, secure access platform, such as automated device provisioning, device profiling and network access control, self-service onboarding, and even guest access, all without the operational complexities associated with competing offerings, the company said in a press release.

Aerohive A3 will be compatible with network equipment from all major vendors, significantly broadening Aerohive’s market reach, and will feature value-added functionality when deployed as part of the Aerohive SD-LAN / SD-WAN platform, such as integrated Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK) management and management from Aerohive’s HiveManager.

The Aerohive A3 can also be deployed on-premises, akin to more traditional AAA and Access Management products, and in the future, as a cloud service accessible from the Aerohive Cloud Services platform.
