Meru SDN-enables Wi-Fi Solutions for a Truly Open Network Edge
Wi-Fi Leader Announces Commitment to Software-Defined Networking
(SDN) Using Open Standards
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 31, 2014) - Networks® (NASDAQ:
MERU), a leader in intelligent Wi-Fi networking, is implementing
open standards-based SDN to enable application-specific service
level agreements and unified management of wired and wireless
networks. Meru's approach to SDN goes a step further than offerings
from other Wi-Fi vendors by providing both northbound and
southbound APIs in its mobility controllers.
"Meru's approach to augmenting the programmability and
flexibility of wireless networks embraces the spirit and goals of
the open networking community and the transition to SDN-enabled
networks," said Rohit Mehra, vice president, network
infrastructure, IDC. "By fully supporting open, standards-based
management and control all the way to the access point, Meru
intends to provide support for SDN with an eye to meeting the needs
of enterprise IT and network managers."
Existing unified access management platforms are costly and
closed, typically providing visibility and control of LAN switching
as well as WLAN controllers and access points only when the entire
solution is supplied by a single vendor. By taking the information
exposed by application vendors' SDN APIs and using it to their own
advantage -- optimizing performance of those applications without
enabling management of both their controllers and access points --
these vendors' SDN implementations are incomplete.
Meru's SDN-enabled Wi-Fi solutions will help ensure consistently
high performance of critical business applications and simplify
unified management of wired and wireless networks, giving customers
immediate benefits without additional training or a
"rip-and-replace" of their existing controllers and access
points.
"SDN enables application performance, ease of management and
simplicity of use for the unified wired and wireless access
network," said Ajay Malik, senior vice president of engineering and
quality assurance at Meru. "Meru is working toward truly open,
standards-based networks where best-in-class solutions win,
removing complexity from access network deployment and management
-- without requiring additional training and equipment
replacement."
