Aerohive Networks Positioned as a Visionary in the 2015 Gartner Magic Quadrant for the Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure

Aerohive Networks® (NYSE:HIVE) today announced it has been positioned by Gartner (News - Alert), Inc. in the "Visionaries" quadrant of The 2015 Magic Quadrant for the Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure.¹ Vendors were evaluated based on their ability to execute and completeness of vision.

News Facts

• According to the report, "A vendor in the Visionaries quadrant demonstrates an ability to increase features in its offering to provide a unique and differentiated approach to the market. Visionaries will have innovated in one or more of the key areas of access layer technologies within the enterprise. The ability to apply differentiating functionality across the entire access layer will affect their position."
• According to Gartner, "This market consists of vendors that supply wired and wireless local-area network hardware and software components that provide device connectivity to the enterprise infrastructure access layer."
• Gartner summarized, "In our research, we found that enterprises also want the choice of architecture deployment options, whether on-premises, private cloud or public cloud deployment capabilities. Additionally, controller- based or controllerless WLAN is a vendor implementation option, not an enterprise requirement, and enterprises with defined usage scenarios should look for pricing based on market-equivalent functionality that meets their usage needs."
