VX 9000 Virtualized Controller System
1. Product Overview
The VX 9000 is a software-based wireless LAN controller designed to operate as a virtual machine across multiple hypervisors and cloud platforms, including Amazon EC2. It eliminates the need for physical hardware, offering flexibility and scalability for modern network deployments. This controller supports a wide range of adaptive access points and is ideal for enterprises seeking to reduce operational costs while maintaining high-performance wireless connectivity.
2. Key Features
- Runs on VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Xen, and Amazon EC2
- Supports multiple instances on a single server
- No additional hardware required
- Centralized management for adaptive access points
