RUCKUS SmartZone network controllers simplify the complexity of scaling and managing wired switches, and wireless access points through a common interface to support private-cloud network-as-a-service (NaaS) offerings in addition to general enterprise networks. All physical and virtual SmartZone appliances support network configuration, monitoring, provisioning, discovery, planning, troubleshooting, performance management, security, and reporting. SmartZone's single, user-friendly web interface handles network visibility from the wireless edge to the network core and enabled IT administrators to perform day-to-day management tasks, troubleshoot user connectivity problems, and define and monitor user and application policies without requiring advanced network skills and CLI expertise.
MULTI-SERVICE AND MOBILE NETWORK OPERATORS
Operator deployments are among the most complex in the world, with some operators simultaneously delivering public access Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi as a managed service to their enterprise and small business customers. The SmartZone 300 (SZ300) and Virtual SmartZone - High Scale (vSZ-H) version allows operators to flexibly deploy switches and access points to address these scenarios while working within the unique constraints of the operator's public and private networks.
SERVICE PROVIDERS
Internet service providers are delivering Wi-Fi-as-a-Service (WaaS) and Network-asa-Service (NaaS) to create new revenue streams while simultaneously simplifying their customer's need to manage an increasingly complex network component. The tiered multi-tenancy within SZ300 and vSZ-H enables service providers to implement multi-tier business and operational models across geographic and commercial boundaries.
ENTERPRISES
