United States Marine Corps untethers inventory
management with Aruba infrastructure
Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise
company, has announced that the
United States Marine Corps 2nd Supply
Battalion’s Supply Management Unit
(SMU) has installed Aruba ESP-based
infrastructure in its 260,000 square feet of
storage space across seven warehouses to
enable secure connectivity and improve
efficiencies in the facilities.

Based out of Marine Corps Base Camp
Lejeune, North Carolina and under the
command of Combat Logistics Regiment
25 and the 2nd Marine Logistics Group,
the 2nd Supply Battalion of the USMC
specializes in distributing and warehousing
military goods and equipment.
The USMC set out to improve its
warehouse operations by enabling logistics/
embarkation specialists, which prepare
supplies and equipment for embarkation.
These specialists also perform various
force deployment planning and execution
functions to support the movement of
people and goods across all modes of
military transportation.
Prior to selecting and deploying the Aruba
infrastructure, the organization had used
wired Internet connectivity, which didn’t
afford the flexibility and versatility they
needed and kept staff tethered to stationary
desks after picking items in the warehouse.
After deploying indoor and outdoor Aruba
access points (APs) and ClearPass Policy
Manager, the Second Supply Battalion
was able to deliver secure and reliable
wireless connectivity in nearly every space
of their warehouses.
Tanium brings intelligence to the Edge with
endpoint management and security
According to upcoming survey research
from Tanium, businesses are struggling to
manage and secure endpoints spread across
a remote workforce.
Even as cyberattacks increase, frontline
defences like patch management are slipping
due to process and management gaps.
Tanium, the California-based provider
of unified endpoint management and
security built for the world’s most demanding
IT environments, has announced Tanium
as a Service, a zero-infrastructure endpoint
management and security platform.
Tanium as a Service optimises Tanium’s
patented architecture to quickly and
efficiently manage and secure devices in a
remote work world.
The Tanium agent brings intelligence
to each endpoint for instant visibility
and unparalleled context, enabling IT
operations and security teams to act quickly
to efficiently manage and secure the
environment anywhere endpoints exist.
“Most endpoint management solutions are
designed for office environments, expecting
devices to leave the network for occasional
travel or work from home. In other words, the
world the way it was,” said Ralph Loura, CIO
at Lumentum.
“Tanium as a Service is designed for remote
work environments, expecting some devices
to return to the office only occasionally. In
other words, the world the way it is. This
innovation and commitment to adapting
to business needs is why I’m a three-time
Tanium customer.”
