Grazed from ADTRAN. Author: PR Announcement
ADTRAN, Inc., a leading provider of cloud connectivity, enterprise communications and virtual mobility solutions, today announced multi-tenancy capabilities integrated into the Bluesocket virtual Wireless LAN (vWLAN) solution, ADTRAN’s network virtualization solution for wireless LAN (WLAN). This initial release is targeted for managed service and solution providers who require the operational flexibility to support multiple customers within a single virtualized controller. With the ever-increasing demand for cloud-based wireless LAN services, vWLAN enhanced with multi-tenancy features delivers a greatly improved method to deploy and differentiate hosted WLAN offerings.
ADTRAN’s vWLAN is a hypervisor-based WLAN that enables the delivery of powerful cloud services. Leveraging the benefits of network virtualization and a distributed data plane, vWLAN frees the WLAN from the local area network. No longer does the control and management of the WLAN have to be on the same LAN as the access points, instead, user control and device management resides in the cloud. Success in cloud-services depends on operational agility. vWLAN’s multi-tenancy capability, combined with network virtualization, gives managed service providers the ability to quickly create a hosted WLAN and respond to customer demands.
