SmartZone Overview

11. SmartZone – What’s the Deal?
• Use a single, controller-based system to simultaneously manage
wired and wireless networks
• IT no longer needs to deploy a separate, stand-alone network
management system to manage their switches and access points
• Controllers that scale to a network of up to 450K clients
• SmartZone is available as both a physical or virtual appliance
• Ideal for MSP’s & SMB’s
11

12. Scalable Network Controllers for Converged
Wired-Wireless Management
• Consolidated Wired-Wireless Management - A single wired and
wireless network management user interface for deploying,
monitoring and troubleshooting access points & switches.
• Automated Discovery and Provisioning - L3 and L2 auto-
discovery and auto-provisioning of APs and switches eliminates
the guesswork, reduces manual administration, and minimises
deployment time.
• Unmatched Scale – A single SmartZone network controller can
manage 10K APs, 150K clients and up to 20 Gbps of throughput,
while 3+1 active clustering increases capacity to 30K APs, 450K
clients and up to 60 Gbps of aggregate throughput depending on
model.

13. Scalable Network Controllers for Converged
Wired-Wireless Management
• Virtualise your Network - Virtual SmartZone makes an all-virtual
data centre deployment on commodity hardware possible,
minimizing cap-ex & maximizing server reuse and flexibility.
• Ultra-High Resiliency - SmartZone protects from catastrophic
failures with intra-cluster & inter-cluster failover. Geo-redundancy
with active clusters delivers higher availability vs. traditional hot-
standby.
• Customizable Tenant Dashboards - Comprehensive, well
documented APIs enable 3rdparty applications and scripts to
invoke provisioning, configuration and real-time monitoring of
AP’s & switches.

14. Scalable Network Controllers for Converged
Wired-Wireless Management
• Expedite Troubleshooting - Visual Connection Diagnostics
simplifies troubleshooting enabling IT to more quickly detect and
react to potential user experience degradation.
• Content Management - Easily create and enforce content policies
using optionally licensed URL Filtering.
• Host Complex Managed Services - Multi-tenancy, domain
segmentation and containerisation enable secure delivery of
managed networking services with complex, multi-tiered service
levels.
• Additional Advanced Features - SmartZone supports rogue AP
detection and mitigation, adaptive band balancing, load
balancing, airtime fairness, hotspot and guest services, capacity-
based admission control, and more.
