The VX-9000-ADP-16 is an entry-level Adaptive AP License for the Extreme Networks VX 9000 Virtualized Controller, enabling management of up to 16 WiNG 5 access points. This software-based solution eliminates hardware dependencies by running as a virtual machine on industry-standard hypervisors or Amazon EC2 cloud infrastructure. The Virtualized Controller platform represents the next evolution in wireless network management, offering unprecedented flexibility and cost efficiency for distributed enterprises.
The VX-9000 platform leverages the WiNG 5 operating system architecture adapted for virtualized environments. It maintains full compatibility with existing WiNG 5 access points while providing the management capabilities of physical controllers. The virtualized implementation supports standard networking protocols and security frameworks including IPSec VPN, RADIUS authentication, and secure management interfaces.
The VX-9000 virtualized controller operates as a virtual machine that is downloaded as an ISO image and installed on compatible hypervisor platforms. The VX-9000-ADP-16 AP License activates management capacity for 16 access points once the virtual appliance is deployed. Network traffic processing follows the distributed intelligence model where access points make local forwarding decisions while the virtual controller provides centralized management, policy enforcement, and monitoring capabilities.
Ideal for small to medium businesses, distributed enterprises, and cloud-first organizations:
License SKU | AP Capacity | Recommended Deployment |
---|---|---|
VX-9000-ADP-16 | 16 Access Points | Small branches/remote offices |
VX-9000-ADP-64 | 64 Access Points | Medium businesses |
VX-9000-ADP-256 | 256 Access Points | Large enterprises |
VX-9000-ADP-512 | 512 Access Points | Campus environments |
VX-9000-ADP-1024 | 1024 Access Points | Service providers/NOC |
