Installation Guide

1 Introduction
The VX virtualized controller is a software WLAN controller appliance running as a virtual machine (VM)
on a variety of Hypervisor and Amazon EC2 cloud infrastructures. The VX 9000 supports virtually any
server and commercially available Hypervisors for fast and seamless integration into an existing
network infrastructure, without adding new hardware. You can run multiple instances of the VX 9000
on a single server, reducing cost, space and power in the Network Operations Center (NOC). With the
ability to run in a private or public cloud, you have the freedom to choose the model that works best for
your deployment needs, install on your own servers or lease a server in the public cloud.
Like existing controller platforms, the VX virtualized controller has its own unique VX 9000 product
category. However, the VX 9000 is unique, in the sense it requires a software license to enable it. The VX
virtualized controller is a license only orderable software SKU, and does not come as a resident
application within an existing hardware product. Users are required to purchase a license to activate
their VX 9000 downloaded. The ordering and fulfillment process however is similar to other software
products, with an appliance license shipped in the form or a hard-copy license certificate.
A license is required to enable VX virtualized controller functionality within WiNG. There are dierent
AP license packs available depending on the number of adaptive access points you’d like to support.
