Extending RUCKUS One to the edge of the network
RUCKUS Edge is a service delivery platform that extends RUCKUS One™—our AI-driven network assurance and business intelligence platform—to the edge. Built on the RUCKUS One cloud platform, it leverages the RUCKUS One service catalog to offer an easy-to-deploy, scalable and flexible approach to services delivery at the edge of the network. By leveraging cloud orchestration and an edge appliance as the local service delivery point, the solution provides centralized, cloud-based control while maintaining performance and flexibility at the network edge.
The network edge: a strategic delivery point
The network edge has emerged as a strategic service delivery point to address the new challenges created by the massive adoption of cloud-based applications and services. By processing data closer to its source, edge computing can significantly reduce latency—ensuring a faster, more responsive user experience.
Features and Benefits
Hybrid cloud management via RUCKUS One
RUCKUS Edge is centrally managed via RUCKUS One, a hybrid cloud platform that provides cloud-based orchestration. This allows network administrators in distributed environments to manage, configure and monitor their edge services across multiple locations through a single platform.
High availability with edge appliance clusters
Edge appliances can be deployed in redundant clusters for high availability and failover—boosting network reliability and resilience and ensuring continuous service in mission-critical environments where network downtime is not an option.
Standards-based VXLAN tunneling for network segmentation
VXLAN tunnels create virtual layer 2 networks over a standard layer 3 infrastructure, enabling large-scale network segmentation. This feature frees applications and users from the constraints of the physical network infrastructure and campus topology, ensuring that multiple groups or applications can get their own isolated virtual network segment across the campus—improving security, data privacy and mobility.
Seamless, zero-touch, Wi-Fi roaming across the campus
Deliver seamless Wi-Fi roaming across the campus by enabling devices to keep their IP address while roaming from one AP to the next. Seamless roaming allows connections to critical services like video and voice to remain uninterrupted as users move across the campus. This feature also frees the network administrator from tedious manual configuration of physical network devices.
Choose from flexible deployment options
Deploy RUCKUS Edge virtual or physical appliances to optimize and scale your traffic.
- Physical appliances (RUCKUS Edge 144 appliance) benefit organizations that have non-specialized IT departments with limited virtualization expertise or those that wish to further simplify deployments in tenant locations.
- Virtual form factor (RUCKUS Edge virtual appliance) is targeted at organizations with specialized IT teams that have expertise in deploying a virtualized infrastructure across central and tenant locations.
