Blue socket vWLAN was built from the ground up to solve the challenges associated with hardware-based controllers. vWLAN’s unique distributed, out-of-band, controller-less architecture introduces the concept of splitting the management and control plane from the data plane. vWLAN centralizes management and control in the data center (on a hyper visor) or in the cloud (public or private), and distributes data with intelligent APs that enforce policies at the edge of the network. With vWLAN, there are no single points of failure, bottlenecks, or scalability concerns associated with hardware-based controllers.
- Cost-effective, globally scalable wireless network
- Unmatched security that's enforced at the edge
- Centralized, cloud-based management for consistent user policies
- Highly-reliable, "zero" packet-loss architecture
- Choice of on-premises or cloud-based deployment options (VMware or hardware appliance)
virtualized management and control allowing deployment in a data center or the cloud
- Distributed data architecture with intelligent APs that enforce security at the edge
- Supports multiple tenants or business entities on a single vWLAN instance
- Built-in Guest Access and Wireless-Intrusion Detection System (W-IDS) modules
- Unified user access control for integrated wired-wireless user management
- Simplified upgrades
- Portfolio of plug-and-play 802.11n APs
- Support for Apple Bonjour based services, Apple Captive Network Assistant (CNA) and Microsoft’s Network Connectivity Status Indicator (NCSI)
