A FLEXIBLE NETWORkHP’s FlexNetwork architecture helps migrate legacy networks to advanced, flexible ones that converge the data center, campus and branch office using technologies like routers and switches. HP’s Intelligent Management Center (IMC) provides single-pane visibility across the FlexNetwork with modules like:

· HP IMC Wireless Services Manager provides unified management of wired and wireless networks.

· HP IMC Network Traffic Analyzer uses routers and switches to deliver real-time data about network optimization.

· HP IMC Service Health Manager provides service monitoring and assurance for network resiliency.

MOBILITY AND SECURITYAs organizations are becoming more mobile, their networks are becoming more exposed. HP’s FlexNetwork addresses this through profile and policy management with modules such as:

· HP IMC User Access Management supports user identity authentication based on access policies.

· HP IMC Endpoint Admission Defense reduces risk by integrating security policy management and endpoint posture assessment.

· HP Radio Frequency (RF) Planner is built on a unique, patent-pending RF propagation model and its characteristics.

APPLICATION ACCELERATIONToday’s bandwidth-heavy applications like VoIP, video and CRM can weigh your network down. HP’s FlexNetwork accommodates these new challenges with technologies like:

· HP IMC Virtual Application Networks Manager accelerates virtual machine configuration and deployment.

· HP IMC Application Performance Manager helps visualize and measure the health of critical business applications and their impact on network performance.

· HP IMC Voice Services Manager provides resource and service management for HP voice infrastructure and IP phones.

Case study: Delivering A Picture-Perfect Technology Experience

A college wanted to add wireless connectivity across their entire campus. CDW•G helped them completely overhaul their infrastructure. We helped them add approximately 100 HP wireless access points (APs) and 30 new HP switches, immediately reducing network traffic bottlenecks across the entire campus. In the end, we helped them reduce backup processes, maximize Internet speeds and support campus-wide connectivity for a smarter, more seamless end-user experience.

the time with their laptops but no Internet,” Musick recalls. “Now they can check their classes, go on Facebook, and do all kinds of other things.”

The $300,000 upgrade was largely motivated by a desire to facilitate a seamless technology experience for students, according to Musick. “They are paying for a great service and we want to give them a great service,” he explains.

Even more, industry analysts say TFC’s improvements represent a critical step in properly equipping students for their professional futures.

“Given the amount of consumerization going on in the workforce today — and the number of students who already have tablets, laptops and smartphones — it only makes sense that universities need to off er the benefi ts of faster speeds and wireless,” points out Rob Ayoub, research director, Frost & Sullivan. “You want students to be absolutely comfortable

estled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Toccoa Falls College (TFC) has long provided an idyllic, picturesque background where students can bond with nature. And now — thanks to a

complete network renovation last year — the college is also delivering a picture-perfect technology experience.

“We quite literally overhauled everything,” reports Michael Musick, director of client support at TFC. “It’s been a real benefi t to the entire campus.”

Th e college, which off ers 27 majors and 40 minors within three schools, dramatically sped up its network by adding 30 core switches, as well as signifi cantly bolstered wireless coverage by installing nearly 100 wireless access points (APs) throughout the campus.

“Before only the dorms had wireless,

and it was kind of spotty coverage,” Musick acknowledges. “Now the entire campus — every building — as well as the three major outdoor areas all have wireless access.”

Th e transformation has not gone unnoticed by the school’s 750 students.

“Th e biggest benefi t is that now when I’m outside on campus, I can get wireless,” reveals Rebecca Dawson, a sophomore majoring in Cross-Cultural Adult Education. “Toccoa is a very active campus; on the weekends if the weather is nice and I’m not out hiking, I like to study outside in a fi eld or in my hammock. Previously I could only take book work outside,” she says. “Now I can complete my online assignments outside, too.”

Indeed, TFC’s Earl Field — a popular hangout area where students regularly erect hammocks and throw blankets down — was one of the main areas targeted for wireless coverage.

“We saw students out there all

“ What beat the other companies out was our relationship with CDW•G and the fact that they are one of the largest retailers of HP. That carries a lot of weight.”
