The Aerohive Networks HiveAP 300 series access points

HiveManager also offers real-time topology, performance, and client information to simplify troubleshooting, capacity planning, and security remediation. Because it is not essential to the flow of traffic, losing connectivity to HiveManager will not affect any control or data forwarding features of your Aerohive WLAN. There is no pre-staging or configuration necessary to connect HiveAPs in any location to their HiveManager, which makes it ideal for distributed deployments.

HiveManager is available in three different forms:

Software-as-a-Service offering in the cloud
A VMware virtual appliance
1U or 2U rack-mountable appliance

All of the HiveManager platforms support two modes: Express Mode, which is a simplified version of the interface, designed to make initial deployment and training simple and quick; and, Enterprise Mode, which includes an extensive object-based management system and full feature support. Customers can very easily extend an Express Mode deployment to Enterprise Mode at any point when additional features or flexibility are required.
