Converged management for enterprises and managed service providers 

SmartZone™ network controllers deliver unified wired and wireless management for medium-to-large enterprises as well as managed service providers. Powered by the SmartZone OS, these controllers can be deployed as a physical or virtual appliance depending on your network’s architecture. In addition, they can scale to meet the requirements of the largest organizations. 

Keep complexity in check with industry-unique wired and wireless network management

Our SmartZone OS offers converged wired and wireless network management on the controller to simplify life for IT. Now, you can manage and monitor RUCKUS access points (APs) and switches from a single unified network console. SmartZone systems automate numerous routine administration tasks to free up time for other projects. It allows you to leverage:

• Zero-touch provisioning
• Automatic firmware updates
• One-click access to any AP or controller across all clusters
• The ability to give employees and guests easy, secure access to the network

Future-proof your network with maximum scalability and flexible deployment

SmartZone OS software delivers the industry’s highest scalability; it supports up to 30,000 APs, 3,750 switches, and 450,000 clients per cluster. Fewer controller instances (enabled by ultra-scalability) reduces total cost of ownership compared to the competition. Choose from a variety of deployment options—deploy SmartZone systems as on-premises physical appliances, virtual appliances with broad hypervisor support or on popular cloud infrastructure-as-a-service providers.

Integrate APIs with your own and third-party applications

Unlike closed systems in which integration is limited, expensive and prone to errors, SmartZone OS features an extensive collection of open application programming interfaces (APIs) such as RESTful/JSON. These enable IT teams to invoke most functions and configurations available in the SmartZone OS graphic user interface (GUI).
