management across the entire network—both wired
and wireless—improving the effectiveness of network
administration and making integration of IT-wide
network management a snap.
•HP ProCurve Mobility Manager (PMM), a
plug-in module for PCM+, provides wireless access
point configuration and management, including
rogue device detection and alerts, wireless client
association and health visibility, and template-driven
device group configuration and management.
•HP ProCurve Identity Driven Manager (IDM) access
control software empowers network managers to
dynamically manage user access, devices, and
traffic from a simple, top-down perspective.
•HP ProCurve Network Immunity Manager (NIM)
network threat management software enables
detection and automated response to threats such as
virus attacks to improve network availability.
HP ProCurve ONE integrated
The HP ProCurve 8200zl Switch Series provides
a high-performance, secure switch platform for
deploying HP ProCurve ONE business and network
applications and services within the network. Hosted
on the HP ProCurve ONE Services zl Module, these
applications and services can act on traffic locally,
distributed throughout the network, or consolidated
in a central location. That makes management easier
and offers additional capabilities to adjust or improve
network behavior (such as load balancing). This
solution allows you to manage costs; help ensure
more efficient use of space, power, and cooling; and
confidently deliver HP ProCurve tested and certified
solutions. And with advanced high-availability features
like Nonstop Switching, the 8200zl series provides the
ideal infrastructure platform to help ensure that these
applications and services are delivered to provide
high levels of availability and business continuity.
Lower costs of ownership and lifetime
warranty
The 8200zl switch series delivers great value with
enterprise-level performance, reliability, scalability,
and high-availability features for mainstream
enterprise environments of 500 to 10,000 users—
and it slashes ongoing ownership costs for sparing,
training, and network management.
With its industry-leading lifetime warranty and
unified core-to-edge architecture, HP ProCurve is
revolutionizing the customer ownership model by
reducing long-term support costs.
Secure, reliable
performance
ProActive Defense
The 8200zl switch series takes advantage of
the HP ProCurve ProActive Defense strategy,
which uniquely combines offensive and defensive
network security strategies within a trusted network
infrastructure. Elements of the ProActive Defense
strategy include:
•
Secure infrastructure—the platform for automation
of both the proactive and defensive aspects of
ProActive Defense; automatically detects anomalous
behaviors; and with modular threat management
services hosted by the 8200zl switch, customers
have a robust platform to embed security tools
directly within the network infrastructure
•
Access control—utilizes HP ProCurve Identity Driven
Manager (IDM) for enforcing dynamic per-user
policies, including access control lists (ACLs), QoS,
and rate limiting; provides support for standards
such as IEEE 802.1X, Web Auth, MAC Auth, TNC,
and IETF RADIUS Extensions
•
Network immunity—uses HP ProCurve Manager
Plus (PCM+) network management software,
which includes advanced policy-based device and
traffic management; Virus Throttle software, which
is embedded within the ProVision ASIC; ICMP
throttling, which defeats denial-of-service (DoS)
attacks; control protocol detection; and device
authentication
Enhancing overall network security, the ProVision ASIC
at the heart of the 8200zl switch series has designed-
in processes such as end-to-end data checking,
embedded RAM error correction, and ECC on an
external DRAM. These processes help ensure traffic
integrity as it passes through the switch, protecting
it from external network threats that could otherwise
impact system performance and availability.
