Product Description
VX 9000 Virtualized Controller - Scalable, Flexible WLAN Management
1. Product Overview
The VX 9000 is a fully virtualized Wireless LAN (WLAN) controller designed to operate as a virtual machine (VM) on leading hypervisors including VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix Xen, as well as on Amazon EC2 cloud infrastructure. It eliminates the need for dedicated hardware, allowing seamless integration into existing data center or cloud environments. This software-based controller supports scalable deployments from small offices to large enterprises, managed through a centralized licensing model for adaptive access points (APs).
2. Key Characteristics
- Runs on industry-standard hypervisors and public cloud platforms
- Fully software-based—no physical appliance required
- Centralized management of WiNG-enabled adaptive access points
- Scalable licensing model supporting from 16 to 1024 APs
- Reduces operational cost, power, and space in network operations
3. Core Technologies
The VX 9000 leverages Extreme Networks’ WiNG OS for unified wireless control, supporting standards such as 802.11ac/n/a/g/b, CAPWAP, and secure tunneling. It is compatible with a wide range of Extreme Networks adaptive APs and integrates with existing network switches and security infrastructure.
4. Working Principle
The VX 9000 operates as a virtual machine installed on a hypervisor. Upon boot, the system initializes with a unique serial number and requires license activation. It centralizes the configuration, monitoring, and policy enforcement for all connected adaptive access points, ensuring consistent performance and security across the wireless network.
5. Applications & Usage
Ideal for enterprises, educational campuses, healthcare facilities, and large public venues seeking flexible and scalable wireless solutions. Supports both on-premise private cloud and public cloud deployments such as AWS. Suitable for distributed branch offices with centralized management.
