AirWave Master Console & Failover Servers
- Scalability to 25,000+ wireless access points
- One console even when AirWave software is distributed on multiple servers
- Many-to-one and one-to-one failover servers for high-availability environments
As wireless coverage spreads to hundreds of locations throughout the enterprise, the wireless network infrastructure expands dramatically -- to tens of thousand of devices in the largest global networks. As the network grows, it is even more critical that IT has a single console from which to monitor the vast network. The AirWave Master Console delivers the scalable management solution your organization needs for today and tomorrow.
Depending on your server hardware, you can manage up to ~2,500 devices (APs and controllers) with the AirWave Enterprise Edition software running on a single server. For larger networks, you can distribute AirWave software on multiple servers simultaneously -- without sacrificing manageability. No matter how many servers you use, the AirWave Master Console provides a single web-based console from which you can monitor and control your entire network.
When wireless networks grow this large, they become mission-critical by default -- with thousands of users relying on wireless connectivity, IT must deliver the same levels of performance and reliability as on the wired network. This means that IT cannot afford to lose visibility and control over the wireless LAN. AirWave provides a full range of affordable failover servers -- which will instantly take over management of your wireless network whenever one of your servers cannot be reached.
