Controlling and managing access to data and applications is critical for the security and efficiency
of today’s enterprise. Network traffic along with the need for faster access to more data and
applications is skyrocketing, and you need the right infrastructure to simplify network management and quickly connect users to the services they need. Not only are more users flooding the network;
more types of users are connecting, requiring varying levels of access and service.
This increase in demand and complexity means that the traditional strategy of handling authentication and enforcing access policies at the network core must evolve, as the burden of handling every request becomes unmanageable.
Today’s architectures must utilize the network edge to provide security, mobility, and simple, manageable access to multiple services on a single network—all while maintaining complete control from the network center.
Implementing such a unified, holistic infrastructure enables enterprises to continually update their networks in a cost-effective and manageable way—without continual redesign and expensive hardware and software upgrades.
ProCurve Networking by HP has responded to this challenge with its ProCurve Networking by HP Adaptive EDGE Architecture™. Developed to support industry standards for networking technology, the Adaptive
EDGE Architecture is a solution design strategy built on two key principles: maintain complete command of the network at the center, and bring control—and intelligence—to the network edge where users connect.
This approach to distributing network intelligence is a key component of the three cornerstones of the Adaptive EDGE Architecture: security, mobility, and convergence.
ProCurve Networking by HP solutions deliver on these principles by making it possible to shift the network infrastructure from being device-centric to user-centric.
Now, access decisions can be made automatically. Known users attempting to access the network, regardless of where they are connecting from, are identified
and given appropriate access based on user, group, time, and location. Unknown users are denied all but the most basic access such as internet capabilities.

| As a result of controlled access, your organization is able to preserve its network integrity while increasing productivity and efficiency. With potential threats to security coming from any number of directions, it is essential that network access be easily controlled from the center but located at the edge, where it can most effectively protect your assets.
Strategically deploying intelligence this way makes the network better prepared to handle new traffic with limited impact to performance or cost. In addition, user productivity is enhanced by offering immediate, high-speed access to the applications the individual needs without overloading the network core. To further simplify the network, ProCurve Networking by HP delivers data, voice, and video connectivity over one of the industry’s most affordable and easy-to-manage infrastructures. A single network, controlled from the center, offers more efficient communication services; extended access to corporate resources for mobile workers;
a solid foundation for deploying more sophisticated, integrated, and potentially revenue generating applications; and increased productivity levels overall.
