High-availability wireless LANs demands system-level resilience, not just device-level resilience. With the latest evolution of its Smart Mobile architecture, Trapeze Networks raises the bar on wireless reliability - delivering NonStop wireless availability with Hitless Failover.
The traditional approach to redundancy is to have a fully-loaded, fully-configured device ready to back up any other device which may fail. But many-to-one redundancy is inefficient, as 99% of the time, the back up device sits idle.
Trapeze’s approach is different - think of it as controller virtualization. A group of controllers is configured as a Virtual Controller Cluster that allows each controller to act as a backup for any other. The result is unmatched wireless reliability with hitless failover for all active sessions including voice.
Other benefits include, configuration-free adds, moves and changes, instant capacity scaling and in-service upgrades, all with zero downtime – this is simply not possible with other vendors systems.
