Aruba .11ac WLAN Serves as Modernization Catalyst at Vendée Département

法国地方政府部门VendéeDépartement，利用Aruba的Gigabit Wi-Fi技术，具有强大的安全性，简化了登机和最低限度的IT管理，作为整个辖区的现代化系统的催化剂。

在将创新引入基础设施之后，例如在法国Paysepartements安装光纤和提供数字设备的供应区学校，在法国VendéeDépartement的总裁Bruno Retailleau委托政府系统现代化政府系统化的现代化。

Nationally and internationally recognized in the areas of tourism, culture and sports, the 650,000-inhabitant Département hosts the quadrennial Vendée Globe around-the-world solo yacht race. Based in La Roche-sur-Yon, France, the Vendée General Council has a budget of more than US$760 million and employs 2800.

Retailleau并没有继续向其理事委员会成员提供冗长的纸质文件，而是试图过渡到在线交货。由于常设委员会的21名成员和全体会议的31位代表已经配备了iPad，因此需要一个有效且安全的高速无线网络。

With the existing Wi-Fi infrastructure in Vendée’s administrative buildings growing obsolete and unable to provide adequate coverage, the General Council’s IT department evaluated available technologies. Aruba Networks solution stood out.

Aruba .11ac Instant with ClientMatch™交付千兆Wi-Fi

为了部署，Vendée选择了Aruba的802.11ac启用即时访问点（IAP）来提供千兆速度。通过选择Aruba .11ac Instant APS，Vendée可以确保由于Aruba的集成客户端技术，在用户漫游时，由于Aruba的集成客户端技术，由于Aruba的集成客户端技术，该用户在整个启用位置都无缝移动。

In addition to即时APS，Vendée选择了两个Aruba移动控制器to centralize control. The controllers were configured as active and passive for failover. For security, Aruba’s vendor-agnostic enterprise tool, theClearPass Access Management System™带有访客和机载模块，选择用于访问控制。

Instant AP启用快速简便的安装

Initially,阿鲁巴岛IAP 225访问ss points和ClearPass被安装在Département的行政大楼中，涵盖了永久委员会室，董事长办公室和IT部门。

由于可以在控制器管理或无控制器模式下配置Aruba的IAP，因此Vendée选择了无控制器模式，用于初始部署。在此模式下，单个Aruba Instant AP自动将网络配置分配到其他即时AP。IAP还包括集成安全性，RF管理和性能优化功能。

According to Vendée IT officials, this embedded-controller functionality made the IAP 225’s extremely easy to deploy. As a result, the network was quick to install.

即时APSExtend WLAN to Remote Locations

我们的新Aruba WLAN将为生产率和降低运营成本提供可观的提高。

After demonstrating the initial implementation to the Permanent Commission, a full deployment was approved.

For the complete implementation, a controller-managed WLAN was established. To enable Aruba IAPs to communicate with the centralized Aruba mobility controller, Vendée is using its existing VPN connections.

The new WLAN includes the Plenary Assembly auditorium, Senior Management offices and General Council office, as well as all meeting rooms in the Council’s buildings across approximately fifteen distant Département sites. In addition, Vendée employees can access the network remotely from their laptop, tablet or smartphone.

Aruba Clearpass在简化管理时提供了强大的安全性

对于Vendee来说，Aruba的ClearPass是一种创新的解决方案，具有独特的功能，使总理事会的IT部门能够降低其管理成本，并确保完全控制所有访问无线网络的人。

Vendée使用ClearPass，获得了无线环境中有线网络的强大安全性功能。简而言之，ClearPass将基于上下文的策略管理与下一代AAA（身份验证，授权和会计）服务相结合，以实现安全连接。
Such capabilities assist with comprehensively managing network access policies, onboarding and managing devices securely and admitting guest users — all from a single platform.

ClearPass来宾将内部流量与访问者访问分开

Vendée使用ClearPass将内部流量与来宾连接分开。The internal network serves elected representatives and General Council employees, providing access to laptops, tablets and smartphones.来宾用户通过ClearPass系统管理的Aruba Captive门户从Internet访问中受益。

ClearPass Works with MS Active Directory to Authenticate Users

Vendée结合了ClearPasswith Microsoft Active Directory for device identification. ClearPass automatically recognizes all connected devices via their MAC address and allocates them access rights appropriate to their status.

In practice, each time a connection is detected, ClearPass queries the Active Directory, where authorized device credentials are configured based on each MAC address. Then, ClearPass either authenticates or refuses a connection based on device credentials.

ClearPass Onboard Helps Streamline User Access

Additionally, Vendée relies on ClearPass Onboard to simplify user access and management by automating the configuration and storage of device MAC addresses.

VendéeDépartement总理事会的CIO Marc Le Bris解释说：“每个用户首​​次连接到网络时，都会一次进入他或她的登录和密码详细信息。”“ ClearPass向设备发送安全证书，该证书允许在每个后续连接上自动识别用户。”

“ClearPass not only reduces network administration tasks but also provides users with a very simple and secure connection,” he adds.

Aruba .11ac WLAN提高生产率并降低成本

The benefits of Vendee’s new Gigabit Wi-Fi network abound. It starts with providing elected representatives with instant access to the documents they need and to the Internet.

“Given that each meeting of the plenary commission requires the consultation of approximately 100 reports, which previously were paper-based, we anticipate the new system will provide substantial gains in productivity for the elected representatives,” says Le Bris. “We also anticipate a reduction in operating costs due to the spectacular reduction in paper consumption.”

关键的阿鲁巴福利包括灵活性和可扩展性

此外，Vendee欣赏了Aruba解决方案的灵活性和可扩展性。“例如，我们可以在最终配置中保留前八个Aruba Instant AP，” Le Bris说。

“We are also planning a second deployment phase,” Le Bris adds. “It will extend the Wi-Fi network to five culturally-important Département sites. As with the first phase, we will again implement one SSID for employees and another for the general public.”

Leveraging an Aruba WLAN as a Modernization Catalyst

In addition to increasing productivity and reducing operating, Vendée’s new WLAN will significantly impact all services provided by the General Council.

Le Bris说：“ Wi-Fi网络将对政府运营的各个方面产生相当大的影响。”“为会议的数字文档生产将对所有员工产生直接和重大的影响，因为数字文档工作流将融入新的电子文档管理解决方案。而且，电子签名书系统也将被部署。”

“In this respect,” he continues, “our new WLAN has the effect of speeding up the optimization of procedures and modernization of all Département services. This is what the General Council was aiming to achieve.”
