Enterasys Introduces Industry's First Mobile Edge Bundles
Unified Wired/Wireless OneFabric Edge Starter Bundles Provide Quick and Easy Deployment Ideal for Channel Distribution
ANDOVER, Mass., Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterasys Networks, a Siemens Enterprise Communications Company, today announced its new OneFabric Edge Starter Bundles for complete unified wired/wireless networking are now available through its channel. Ideal for healthcare, education, retail, and hospitality, Enterasys channel partners can provide customers with simple reference bundles for comprehensive edge management, including sizing information, switches, Wi-Fi, and software. Customers can grow their network at their own pace and gain full access to the benefit of OneFabric Edge in an economical package. Meanwhile, channel partners are able to easily position a complete unified edge solution value through competitively priced starter configurations. Enterasys' recently announced OneFabric Edge solution allows enterprises to provision the network end-to-end with consistent performance and enhanced security for business-critical applications, all managed from a single pane of glass.
"We recognize that trends around mobility and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs continue to drive IT organizations to provide an infrastructure that delivers a high quality user experience," said Chris Crowell, CEO of Enterasys Networks. "We tailored these starter solutions to simplify the sale process for partners and we are the only vendor that has come out with a bundle that is scoped based on deployment size. These bundles allow partners to discuss the value of a unified edge solution with their customers through simple, pre-defined configurations."
The Enterasys OneFabric Edge Starter Bundles have several benefits for both partners and customers. Enterasys partners receive competitive discounts and program incentives on bundle sales to new customers. Partners also have an opportunity to sell and deliver services - from assessments and deployment, all the way to ongoing monitoring services leveraging OneFabric Control Center. Meanwhile, for customers, these highly scalable bundles deliver a fully integrated wired/wireless solution with on average 30% lower CapEx and 70% lower OpEx costs than those provided by other vendors.

-- Enterasys Edge Switches: The OneFabric Starter bundles include either a
stackable or modular high performance edge switch
-- Enterasys 3600 series 802.11n Access Points: The Enterasys Wireless
