    Hello

    I was wondering in which scenario you would use this?

    The price list of a 7030 vs a Virtual mobility controller is almost the same...(and the 7030 can support up to 64 ap)

    What would be the difference? because in price doesnt look like i would like to buy one instead of the 7030

    Anyone enlight me with this?

     

    Cheers

    Carlos

    It really comes down to flexibility. Some customers want 100% virtual and want to be able to horiztonally scale their network infrastructure just like their application infrastructure.

    Not sure about pricing but you also need to compare specs and limitations. It's not for every use case.
