VEWS-Series

The Edgecore VEWS Virtual Wireless LAN Controller allows to run on any VMware infruscture such as servers, personal computers, and cloud computing resource to provide much-needed hardware independence while offering the same functionality as the physical controller. With AP management, user authentication, policy assignment, traffic shaping, firewall features, and much more all packaged into a single box, the VEWS-series Controller provides network administrators with a reliable, easy-to-use, and centralized management console for an entire organization’s wireless network infrastructure, including Edgecore Access Points and Switches and the communication among Controllers, Switches and Access Points are encrypted.

The VEWS-series Controller can be deployed and configured easily, even non-wireless savvy users. For example, automated AP discovery prevents network administrators from having to go through the hassle of individually adding and configuring each access point. Access points as well as connected Wi-Fi devices can then be monitored and managed from a centralized point, with extensive logging & reporting features to assist in troubleshooting and maintenance and it is compatible on VMware 6.7 version. Besides, VEWS-series Controller supports maps functionality allowing the administrator to view and monitor the wireless network coverage map.

For user management, the VEWS-series supports from 3,000 to 100,000 connected clients, according to different models. Moreover, as Wi-Fi-enabled handheld devices, such as smartphones and tablets, become ever so prevalent in our daily lives, businesses and network operators alike are faced with a mind-boggling dilemma – how to simultaneously address the needs of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), manage Wi-Fi users, and maintain network service quality for mission-critical applications. The VEWS-series is designed exactly with these requirements in mind, and with a total cost of ownership that satisfies even the most price conscious, organizations are guaranteed to receive an unmatched ROI on their wireless LAN infrastructure.
