VX 9000 CONTROLLER
VX 9000 CONTROLLER
VIRTUALIZED SOFTWARE-BASED WLAN CONTROLLER
COMPREHENSIVE CLOUD READY WIRELESS SERVICES AND A SINGLE POINT OF CONTROL FOR ANY SIZE
ENTERPRISE
The VX 9000 combines the power of virtualization with Zebra industry-leading WiNG controller, creating a virtual
controller in a class of its own. the cost-effectiveness of virtualization combines with high-performance advanced
wireless services, endless scalability, superior deployment flexibility and centralized management of the entire
wireless network through a single windowpane, bringing a new level of simplicity, cost-efficiency and much needed
hardware independence to the wireless LAN.
MINIMIZE DEPLOYMENT COST WITH MAXIMUM DEPLOYMENT FLEXIBILITY
Not only is the VX 9000 easy to deploy, it also brings a new level of ease to WLAN deployment. The VX 9000
supports virtually any server and all the leading, commercially available Hypervisors for fast and seamless integration
into your existing network infrastructure without adding any new hardware. In addition, you can run multiple instances
of the VX 9000 on a single server, substantially reducing cost, space and power requirements 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 business install on your own servers in your NOC or lease a server in the public cloud. And
with built-in hierarchical management, equipment discovery and configuration is automated, bringing true
plug-and-play simplicity to WLAN deployment.
CLOUD READY WITH COST-EFFICIENT INFINITE SCALABILITY
With the VX 9000, you simply pay as you grow just purchase the amount of access point licenses you need today and
easily add whatever you need in the future. There is no need to purchase a different controller for different access
point capacities each instance of the VX 9000 can support up to 25,000 access points, providing a real scalable
solution for cloud deployments.
ACHIEVE CONSTANT AVAILABILITY EASILY AND COST-EFFECTIVELY
With virtualization, server resource utilization improves, server management is simplified and the need for single
purpose appliances is eliminated. In addition, live migration improves service availability the VX 9000 can be
automatically and seamlessly moved in the event of a server issue.
WiNG 5 ADVANCED OS DELIVERS SUPERIOR WLAN PERFORMANCE RIGHT TO THE NETWORK
EDGE
The WinG 5 operating system empowers every piece of infrastructure in your WLAN with the intelligence required to
work together to route every transmission as efficiently as possible. Now, controllers as well as standalone
independent access points and adaptive access points adopted by physical or virtual controllers located in remote
offices, the network operating center (NOC) or the cloud are all network aware. The result? The need to route all
traffic through a centralized controller is eliminated along with the associated congestion and latency. Since all
features are available at the access layer, they remain available even when the VX 9000 is offline for example, due to
a WAN outage ensuring extraordinary site survivability, network resilience, network throughput and quality of service.

Advanced WiNG 5 OS
The WinG 5 OS provides the
advanced brainpower
required to create the fully
network aware WLAN,
allowing every piece of
infrastructure in your
wireless network to work
together to route every
transmission as efficiently as
possible.
Plug-and-play
Fast and easy zero-touch
installation plus rule- based
access point and NX 4500/
6500 adoption from all
locations automates
equipment discovery and
deployment.
Simplified license
management for large
distributed
enterprises
Distribute and use licenses
based on actual load per site
/location no need to
provision each location
individually; eliminates the
need to provision devices in
both local offices and the
NOC with access point
licenses.
