3VX 9000 Virtualized Controller Installation Guide

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
different AP license packs available depending on the number of adaptive access points
you’d like to support.
