Aerohive has just announced a new\u00a0AdvantageMSP program to enable its channel partners to deliver fully managed enterprise wired and wireless services. The new program allows customers to rely on Aerohive partners to deliver the basics of connectivity while they focus on leveraging the business value of Wi-Fi with analytics and applications.\u00a0The AdvantageMSP program provides a set of tools, processes, and product capabilities that together enable channel partners, both traditional resellers and existing service providers, to deliver new high value services to their customers.<\/p>\n

Enterprise-grade wireless connectivity is mission-critical for many organizations, yet these organizations often struggle to find and retain the expertise required to run a typical wireless network. While Aerohive has significantly simplified network operations, some organizations want to go further and consume wireless as a utility, just like electricity and plumbing, instead of devoting valuable in-house resources to maintaining a network. This new demand presents an opportunity for network infrastructure channel partners to deliver increased value and achieve new incremental revenue by offering Wi-Fi as a service.<\/p>\n

Aerohive\u2019s new AdvantageMSP program allows channel partners to offer fully managed wireless connectivity that is fast, secure, scalable, and reliable. AdvantageMSP channel partners receive optimized product capabilities and business processes that make it easy for them to introduce and deliver managed services without the operational overhead of other network solutions. Channel partners can further increase service value by leveraging Aerohive Cloud Services (ACS) to develop custom business and IT applications. Aerohive has created this program in consultation with global service providers, such as T-Systems, NCR, and Verizon, and industry specialists, such as GCI and Tekmark.<\/p>\n

Aerohive\u2019s AdvantageMSP program supports both Management as a Service (MaaS) and Wireless as a Service (WaaS) business models. MaaS channel partners provide outsourced management of a customer-owned infrastructure using tools like hierarchical management and support. WaaS channel partners offer wireless networks on a subscription basis using the network as a new services-revenue platform.<\/p>\n

The Aerohive AdvantageMSP program enables a wide range of channel partners, from existing MSPs to industry specialists, to easily adopt a managed-services strategy. The program includes innovative new business processes and builds on the capabilities of HiveManager\u00ae NG, Aerohive\u2019s cloud-enabled management solution for enterprises.
