Ruckus virtual SmartCell Gateway - License - 1 LF9-VSCG-WW00

ETSI NFV compliant. Designed for use with Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi ZoneFlex access points (APs), the Ruckus vSCG runs as a virtual application within either the KVM (Kernel-base Virtual Machine) or VMware vSphere virtualization environments. The Ruckus vSCG is the first component in a larger Ruckus solution based on the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) NFV architecture. In addition, Ruckus Wireless plans to provide a virtualized infrastructure and services manager that handles management of Ruckus virtualized appliances. The manager will integrate support for open-source OpenStack, providing a common platform to host the Ruckus virtual appliances from a single pane of glass. Carrier class capabilities. The vSCG was designed from the beginning for carrier-class deployments. In addition to being scalable, reliable, and manageable, the vSCG can also support value added services such as Ruckus Smart Positioning Technology (SPoT) and SmartCell Insight, provides data plane flexibility, and carrier-class features like Hotspot 2.0 and multi-tenant support. Data plane flexibility comes by splitting out the control plane from the data plane at the AP. Control plane traffic is directed to a vSCG in the data center, while data plane traffic is routed to a point where it can be handed of to the Internet. Multi-tenant support. The vSCG can operate in either a multi-tenant mode where a number of managed services customers share an instance of the vSCG or in a mode where each managed services customer runs on their own vSCG instance.
