Trusted Infrastructure

Running a business requires the availability and reliability of the network infrastructure. The HP ProCurve Trusted Infrastructure Solution provides visibility into the devices on the network and a platform for quick remediation of network outages helping decrease network downtime. It automatically secures the network from unauthorized extension or attacks to the control plane; includes protection of network components and the ability to give role-based access to the network in order to prevent unauthorized managers from overriding mandated security provisions.

The Trusted Infrastrcture diagram highlights the components of a trusted infrastructure. First and foremost, an authenticated inventory must be performed on devices that remain visible and available. Ideally, this infrastructure will enable control to the individual port level. The infrastructure must also provide a secure way to traverse un-trusted networks. Lastly the operation of the network should be managed and verified.
An HP ProCurve trusted infrastructure solution helps provide the following benefits:
  • Provides confidence your infrastructure will operate as expected with minimal downtime
  • Enables clarity of who and what is connected to the network and the status of network devices via an easy to use management core
  • Insures constant, secure communication between customer locations or from remote users
  • Provides fine grained remediation at the edge of the network increasing both the safety and precision on your remediation actions
  • Provides a uniform approach across wired and wireless networks so organizations do not have to manage islands of infrastructure

Integrates with existing Cisco core

The ProCurve trusted infrastructure integrates with your existing Cisco infrastructure investment. This integration is accomplished through interoperability testing of common enterprise environments. HP can help you migrate your closed Cisco environment to an open standards based architecture which can scale over time without completely replacing your current investments.
