Bluesocket vWLAN - Centralized WiFi Management - 1951900G1

Bluesocket 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 hypervisor) 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.

Virtual Wireless LAN (vWLAN®)

vWLAN is the only wireless LAN solution with control and management virtualized on software residing on a hypervisor or on a virtual appliance. Rather than deploying hardware controllers to operate a wireless network, vWLAN enables an enterprise to leverage virtualization and eliminates all the constraints and costs of physical hardware controllers.

Unified Access Throughout the Enterprise

The unified user access control software for vWLAN enables the control of users entering the network from wired ports and other manufacturers’ access points. This allows an enterprise to create truly unified wireless and wired network by providing uniform service delivery, a seamless user experience, and consistent authentication irrespective of a user’s access method. The unified user access control software also simplifies administration by allowing all users to be addressed with the same set of policies.
