Pacific Northwest Burger Chain 'Beefs' up Customer Experience with Aerohive's Secure and Robust Retail Networking Solution
SUNNYVALE, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
Aerohive
Networks®, a
leader in controller-less Wi-Fi and cloud-managed mobile networking for
the enterprise market, today announced that Burgerville,
a Pacific Northwest quick service restaurant company, has implemented
Aerohive's wireless LAN networking solution to offer secure and robust
wireless access across its store locations and become fully PCI (News - Alert)
compliant in restaurant operations.
News Facts
-
Established in 1961, Burgerville is a quick-service restaurant company
with 39 locations throughout Oregon and Washington, and a workforce of
over 1,500 employees.
-
Burgerville required an upgrade from its consumer-class wireless
product at its headquarters and restaurant locations. Apart from poor
connectivity and complaints from guests, Burgerville needed a solution
that would have enterprise-grade security features for PCI compliance,
as well as centralized management capabilities for its VPN.
-
Initially, Burgerville's legacy system was approaching its end of
life, but a network upgrade using another controller-based system
would mean increased cost and complexity with greater risk of a single
point of failure.
-
PCI compliancy was the main driver for Burgerville's network
infrastructure. In addition, Burgerville sought a new POS solution
that enabled a Wi-Fi solution that was robust and resilient enough to
support the POS application and tablet devices. Aerohive (News - Alert) offered
active directory authentication, a key requirement for PCI compliance,
which allows corporate employees at restaurant locations to
authenticate back to corporate, a capability Burgerville did not have
previously.
-
Burgerville is using HiveManager®
Online to manage all Aerohive branch routers and access points,
allowing the company to update configurations simultaneously in the
cloud, as well as exploit a variety of features available from
Aerohive. Burgerville also implemented Aerohive's Branch
on Demand solution, combining branch router platforms, HiveOS®
router capabilities, cloud-enabled VPN gateway, and the Aerohive
Cloud Services Platform.
-
The IT team at Burgerville worked closely with PavelComm
to deploy Aerohive's technology throughout the restaurant chain.
PavelComm is a technology company and authorized Aerohive reseller
primarily focused on the Oregon and Washington markets. A close
partner with Aerohive, PavelComm played a significant role in the
implementation process.
-
Since deploying Aerohive's access points and HiveManager Online,
Burgerville is now able to prioritize traffic and devices, as well as
allow priority on the network for its employees and applications.
