BullsEye Telecom has announced a partnership to deliver its Managed Wi-Fi offering through Arista Networks, a leader in building scalable high-performance and ultra-low latency networks for today’s data center and cloud computing environments.
BullsEye tested several solutions and selected Arista because of its security, multiple access models and deployment model. The solution also includes a built-in firewall that supports segmentation and isolation of guest Wi-Fi traffic from private internal networks to further simplify PCI DSS compliance. Additional features include automated troubleshooting; enhanced security; and advanced telemetry and Wi-Fi optimization for mission critical applications.
Arista utilizes a security feature known as Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) with their access points. With a third radio acting as a dedicated WIPS sensor, wireless threats are detected and blocked almost instantly. Its CloudVision Wi-Fi applications, powered by patented techniques such as Marker Packet, accurately detect network connectivity, automatically and accurately create alerts, and classify wireless threats.
In addition, Arista’s Cognitive Wi-Fi optimizes the wireless experience by enabling networks to learn, predict, protect and progress. With a focus on analytics, including the presence and behavior of WiFi devices, the system’s analytics provide significant business intelligence through root-cause analysis and proactive problem-solving resolution options that reduce network troubleshooting time and effort.
