It is not a patent of the central server of the data to be virtual, can apply being virtual to the wireless network in fact. CEO Dr in WLAN manufacturer Meru. In the eyes of Bami Bastani, virtual WLAN is the keyword of Meru, a series of solution of it all relate to the fact that the signal channel has been stratified.
Understand the framework foundation
1, 6, 11 three signal channels can be used, and the common WLAN frameworks all adopt the technology by mistake frequently, possible reduction network same frequency interference while disposing the network. But Meru has made another choice to these three signal channels, ” Meru totally complies with the standard of 802.11n, but the design of the network framework, like doing the uniform method of telephone network of a mobile phone even more. ” Dr. Bami Bastani explains, Meru is possible and wireless and virtual, can dispose a lot of AP under the same environment on this basis, then forming a virtual AP. can use three signal channels in case of Meru, but meanings of using three signal channels are different, not because prevent communication jamming, but do the signal channel and stratify the framework. In addition, AC can be controlled to every laminal bandwidth. “Meru can construct the framework of the traditional microcellular, can do virtual frameworks too, this is flexibility of Meru. ” Dr. Bami Bastani says.
Enter BYOD era, the question that WLAN needs facing is not only high density and excursive question, the question of network management is prominent. Identity Manager of Meru is a piece of software which deals with this question, Dr. Bami Bastani says: “Identity Manager can manage arbitrary network, arbitrary apparatus and arbitrary operating system, can manage the network equipment of Meru and other brands. ” Particularly, there are two functional groups in Identity Manager, one is intelligent link, one is connected by the guest. Intelligent link is mainly for the staff in enterprises, for example the doctor, professors and scholars of the university of the hospital, they came in to open and authorize automatically, the ones that made them smooth were connected to the network, the guest connects and is directed primarily to students and the guests from outside to open a network link.
ClearPass that Identity Manager and Aruba of Meru were once put out plays the same tune on different musical instruments, solve the access problem involved in BYOD through the way of software, and can manage the products of different brands, where is its difference? Dr. Bami Bastani says: “Meru stratify signal channel technology and Identity Manager combine together, can forward different signal channels to, go stratify, different user, this is the place where one have the characteristic very much. ”
The difference under different application scenes is replied
WLAN is a kind of applied technology, all there are different demands and reply under different scenes. When the signal channel stratifies to overlap with the scene of the hospital, Meru divides the virtual tri-layer Wi-Fi passway into the life key type, mission-critical and consumption key type, do not have the disconnected care network UCN to call it the tri-layer wholly . Among them, the key type to the life is a series of wireless passways, specially used in life key type utility program and apparatus, such as the telemetering devices of intellectual infusion pump and Wi-Fi function, carry on wireless communication with these utility programs at the same time. The mission-critical service is dedicated ” Mission-critical ” Utility program and apparatus, it is a utility program such as EMR of the enterprise layer, VoIP, Citrix CPOE and bar code medicine management offer the reliable connected sum QoS. consumption key type to offer ” consumption key type ” The floor of the passway, make the patient contact friend and family through the network. Advantage that do it in this way obviously, pay guarantee of the different stage respectively at different the intersection of grade and guarantee of business. “The wireless network just did the work of some basic overlay in the hospital in the past, but what the hospital of today required are more, why did this emphasize we have the interrupted care network to can offer. ” Dr. Bami Bastani concludes, UCN can be well applied to the production networks of the hospital. And the words that used Identity Manager jointly, the result is prominent in improving and employing and experiencing.
According to ensuring the rank to separate the difference with the hospital, the educational trade has one’s own characteristics, student large in density and bandwidth expect much, not excursive and strong, MEG wireless platform can over 3 step make the school offer ” non- interrupted study ” Experience: Surf the Net, connected sum study. Particularly, through the intersection of Identity Manager and Smart Connect and Guest Connect in the Software Suite of Meru, let students surf the Net rapidly, the safe BYOD customer end of automated implementation is opened and the flexible visitor manages; Pass Meru extensive Wi-Fi access point, wireless control device and various network supervisor softwares, connect various mobile equipments getting up in the campus reliably; Through other teaching technology of disposing the environment and contributing on the mobile equipment, it is learnt to experience that abundant. The experience that the signal channel stratifies in MEG can be so, ” the teacher should give lessons to students with the network in the classroom, meanwhile, student’s inuse network all, so people have not crowded the bandwidth more, MEG solution can guarantee the teacher private channel, will not coincide with students; Student’s even all right download at one time or doing miscellaneously, does not interfere with each other. ” Dr. Bami Bastani says.
Hotel one of service industries, wireless network become serve must nearly already now. “Just think you are VIP user of a hotel, Wi-Fi networks of the hotel of connecting the mobile phone after you reach the hotel, finish moving in the procedure to go through automatically. This has avoided irritating lining up to be registered and the tedious form is filled in. ” Dr. Bami Bastani says, if you are not VIP of the hotel, I’m afraid that needs to press ” procedure ” Have left.
Canvass the future of the framework of the wireless network
In the face of a large number of terminal growth and rise of BYOD trend, the framework of the wireless network is going through the challenge, what kind of pattern will be it in the future? “Meru thinks that mainly there are three directions, divide into the large-scale, medium-sized and small size network demand according to user’s network size. ” Dr. Bami Bastani says. In intermediate and large-scale network, CIO usually hopes for the framework of AC AP, under this framework, Meru is except offering general AP and general AC, there is fictitious AC, can do as general AC, also can be regarded as the redundant backup AC to use, this is a trend of Meru of today, there is software besides hardware. The next step can form the small-scale privately owned cloud of low-end in the small-scale network through the way that the fictitious edition of the low-end control device add AP. The small-scale network in the third is, consider or let it have no AC now, or fictitious AC comes to do into a framework of the publicly-owned cloud. “For not having framework of the control device, the framework that Meru will push away to the publicly-owned cloud in the first half of 2014, this is our present plan. ” Dr. Bami Bastani says.
Though without AP products which are released 802.11ac, on transition of 802.11ac, Meru has obviously already made good preparations, Dr. Bami Bastani says. “Meru present plan is to announce AP of 802.11ac at the end of second quarter, the concrete stock begins from third quarter. Meru all control devices support 802.11ac. ” And the signal channel has stratified and brought the advantage, signal channel now rare day by day of resource, “to Meru, do virtual and very simple, so long as we have a signal channel resource may spend. So we believe at 802.11ac age, the technological one’s own requirement of the framework brings the huge advantage to Meru. ”
The wireless market is going through the era of great outburst, IDC investigation data display, the annual compound growth rate from 2009 to 2015 of wireless market is up to 19%. It is various applied rise behind increasing the fast one, how to meet the application is subjects in front of wireless network manufacturer. Obviously, even if the secret of solving the problem of Meru is virtual, and the result of defeating by a surprise move has arrived from today in this.
