Lower CAPEX by Going Virtual
A virtualized network puts CAPEX where it’s needed most, while making your network more flexible.

• A single low-cost license and a commodity x86 server with any popular hypervisor is all that’s needed for a vSZ-E instance. A single cluster scales to 60K clients, 3,000 APs and 50 switches.
• Active/Active 3+1 clustering eliminates idle controller capacity and data loss during redundant failover, while minimizing configuration time when nodes are added.
• The vSZ-E centralizes LAN and WLAN management and flexibly integrates with the Virtual SmartZone – Data Plane (vSZ-D) or external WLAN gateways to accommodate complex data plane routing topologies.
• IT can offload WLAN and connectivity services such as DHCP/NAT to the AP or vSZ-D to reduce expenses for separate routers and servers.

Deliver a Better Quality of Experience
The vSZ-E simplifies workflows and gives IT the tools to ensure a better end-user experience.

• Visual Connection Diagnostics lets IT troubleshoot client connection problems in real-time, helping to pinpoint the stage at which the failure occurs.
• Ruckus “super-KPIs” enable IT to more quickly detect and react to potential user experience degradation.
• SmartZone streaming APIs push in near real-time the full array of Ruckus network data, statistics and alarms to IT’s preferred analytics tool with no fidelity loss and no need to create a firewall pinhole.
• Easily monitor networks with a customizable interface and view topology maps, network element health, cluster health, traffic analysis, spectrum analysis and more.
