Aerohive AH-S-SYS-VAD-3YR 3 Year VAD System Support, level 3 support, support portal access covers AP and HiveManager for 1 HiveAP
Gain access and support to the Aerohive HiveManager Support Portal with Level 3 Support for Aerohive's enterprise level network management solution.
The Aerohive WLAN system combines an Enterprise-class access point with a suite of cooperative control protocols and functions to provide all of the benefits of a controller-based WLAN solution, but without requiring a controller or an overlay network. A hive of HiveAPs is able to operate independently; however, to provide for global policy management and centralized configuration and monitoring of many HiveAPs, HiveManager provides a centralized management instance for the entire wireless network. HiveManager lowers operating costs by speeding deployment, configuration, and monitoring of the wireless network. The HiveAPs are fully functional even when disconnected from the HiveManager.
