re: Aruba Gets Edgy

Routers and switches are not going away from a Remote Office deployment. VPN termination points are not going away, at least in the near future, from these deployments either.

Now, if I were to recommend a remote office deployment I would go with an integrated router that can service both wired and wireless devices. This product would also have integrated Anti-Virus, IPS, Content Filtering and VPN support. Now, there is a real value proposition for a customer.

There is the Juniper 5GT, the Cisco 1811 and the Fortinet FWF60 that fit this model. Not the Mini-AP.

re: Aruba Gets Edgy you said:

Yeah, I remember him. I think he went to Fracas Networks, right?

Something like that. Read it was a consumer wireless startup.

re: Aruba Gets Edgy For a remote office, something like Cisco's or Juniper's product works. But those are too expensive and too cumbersome to manage for people who telecommute from home. A $200 price point for a product that gives a telecommuter secure Wi-Fi access could be very attractive.

re: Aruba Gets Edgy Normally part of a corporate IT initiative anyway, not out of your own pocket. Buy $500K Juniper firewalls then get a quote for the NS-5s and tell me what they cost. (Same for CSCO, btw).

re: Aruba Gets Edgy Obviously it's not going to be an out of pocket cost for a telecommuter. Nobody's saying it's going to crush Cisco and Juniper, but it is a unique product that could satisfy a real need in the marketplace.

re: Aruba Gets Edgy Boring. Look this company has 200+ employees focusing on wireless technologies, right? I don't think so. Where are the innovations in RFID, in Mesh, in UWB, and VOIP? Do we really want to hear a story about the Mobile Edge? They need to be a little more original, and define themselves.

re: Aruba Gets Edgy Oxymoron.

There is no mesh security. The old guys, that broke LEAP are way behind on Mesh. The real trick is not to bring down a corporation's entire WLAN, but how do you bring down an entire Metropolitan LAN. Public Safety is a huge selling point for MuniWireless today. What happens if I bring down a MetroLAN that the entire city(public and private) utilize?

re: Aruba Gets Edgy I've been thinking about mesh security recently too, would be interested in your thoughts on this.
