Digital Engineering Firm Enhances the Security of Its Wireless Network Connectivity

Silicon Image of Sunnyvale, CA, drives implementation of architecture and semiconductors in the consumer electronics and personal computing markets to store and distribute high-definition content. Silicon Image wanted to enhance network security by gaining more control over who connected wirelessly to its network and by enforcing stricter policies for wireless connections to the network. It also needed an affordable solution that integrated well within its mixed server environment, with its Enterasys security tools, and eventually with the UNIX clients it plans to add to the environment. Silicon Image evaluated solutions from Enterasys, another Microsoft Certified Partner. Although the Enterasys solution is still an integral part of the client's solution, Silicon Image ultimately decided that Windows Server 2008 was the next logical step after IAS.
