AMP Wireless LAN Management Server
AMP: A Complete
Management Platform
The AirWave Management
Platform is a Linux-based software solution that installs quickly and easily on
standard PC server hardware, typically in one or more network operations
centers. Administrators and help-desk personnel can use AMP’s intuitive
web-based user interface to remotely monitor and manage their wireless networks,
or they can fully integrate AMP with their existing Ethernet network management
solutions (such as HP OpenView Network Node Manager).
 AMP’s
high-speed data collector uses non-blocking SNMP, HTTP, and other protocols to
gather granular data, enabling you to quickly locate and view real-time
information on every wireless device and user connected to the network.
Designed for efficiency,
AMP’s scalable, distributed architecture allows you to configure, manage, and
monitor Wi-Fi equipment across a LAN or WAN of any size — from local networks
with 25 or fewer access points to global networks with tens of thousands of
wireless network devices.
AMP is a fully
vendor-agnostic solution that supports new and legacy Wi-Fi hardware from
leading vendors, including Avaya, Cisco, Colubris, Enterasys, HP ProCurve,
Intel, Proxim, Symbol, and others. AMP automatically handles all communication
with multi-vendor devices, allowing administrators to monitor and configure
diverse networks from the same easy-to-use web console.
AMP supports existing
security standards and interoperates with leading Wi-Fi security solutions
(including wireless LAN gateways, VPN-based solutions, RADIUS authentication
servers, and more), allowing your IT department to select the approach to WLAN
security that best fits your needs and budget.
