Microsoft picks Aruba for next generation WLAN
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft has chosen Aruba Networks to upgrade the company's global wireless LAN . The deal means that Microsoft will replace over 5,000 Cisco Aironet access points worldwide with Aruba's thin access points and WLAN switches. It's also a setback for Cisco's pricey recent acquisition of Aruba's archrival, Airespace.
Besides being a vitally important win for Aruba, the Microsoft deal will be seen as a blue chip stamp of approval on the use of WLAN switches and thin access points for large-scale WLAN deployments.
