  • 1.  Virtual Mobility Controller as standalone ? status wanted

    Posted Mar 01, 2017 09:11 AM

    Hi there

     

    Some of our customers whant to order a VMC instead of a physical controller.

     

    I read some last year's posts that says it's not a good ID :

    https://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Wireless-Access/Virtual-Mobility-Controller/m-p/264589

     

    But i can't find any clear official status about this point.

     

    Can someone tell me what is the supported use case for VMC ?

    What can i tell to my customers who want to use them ?

     

    Best regards

     

    Pierre

    vMCsupports a maximum of 1000 APs. If you have a network comprising less than that, you might go for virtualized environment. 

     

    For larger networks (greater than 1000 APs I mean), you have to go for the Physical boxes.

     

    Below datasheet for vMC might help you:

    Thank you Jibran

     

    Most of our coustomer's network are fare bellow 1000 Aps.

     

    To be certain : con you confirm they can use VMC as a standalone controller, with no need for any backup / master anywhere ?
