Enloe Medical Center Connects and Tracks Nearly 30,000 Devices While Saving 1,800 IT Hours Annually by Expanding its Aruba ESP Network with EdgeConnect and Location Services - Seite 2

For its SD-WAN, Enloe has added EdgeConnect to its wireless solution, comprised of Aruba’s access points (APs) and mobility controllers. On the wired side, the institution has implemented Aruba’s CX Series switches for the data center core along with access and aggregation switches.

Asset tracking is accomplished by combining the location awareness resident in Enloe’s Aruba APs with Aruba Location Services and Aruba Tags.

“Aruba’s business-friendly location services solution empowers our non-technical supply department to own and manage the process for tagging and tracking assets,” Webb said. “What’s more, Aruba’s flexible and advanced technology enabled us to simply leverage our existing Wi-Fi infrastructure for asset tracking, rather than requiring a forklift upgrade.”

Enloe is also streamlining wired, wireless, and SD-WAN policy administration using Aruba’s integrated zero trust security capabilities. This includes rolling out Aruba Dynamic Segmentation along with Aruba ClearPass for network security policy management, as well as the ability to support consistent and automated policy-based network access control (NAC) across Enloe’s enterprises to support healthcare workers, administrative staff, and guests.

Moving forward, Enloe plans to evolve its future-ready network by adopting automated IT operations features using Aruba Central for comprehensive cloud-based artificial intelligence IT operations (AIOps) that provides AI-powered insights, workflow automation, and edge-to-cloud security while unifying wired, wireless, and SD-WAN management.

“Having worked with multiple networking companies, we value our ongoing partnership with Aruba as the best we’ve experienced by far,” noted Webb. “Aruba’s solutions perform as advertised, they’re issue-free, and they’re extremely agile. In short, they just work.”
