RUCKUS Edge extends the AI-driven RUCKUS One
cloud platform to the edge—enabling centralized control and
performance management for networking, security, productivity and
purpose-driven industry vertical services deployed at the edge
CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM), a global leader in network
connectivity, announced today the launch of its RUCKUS Edge™
cloud-managed edge platform for service delivery. Built on the
AI-driven RUCKUS One® network assurance and business intelligence
platform—the RUCKUS Edge platform extends the cloud-based RUCKUS
One platform to the edge of the network to enable the rapid
deployment and simplified management of a variety of services and
applications.
The RUCKUS Edge platform utilizes AI-enabled cloud-based
orchestration, together with an edge appliance as a local service
delivery point, to enable customers to deploy scalable, low-latency
networking, security, and productivity services as well as
purpose-driven industry specific vertical services.
RUCKUS Edge is fully integrated with the RUCKUS One platform,
retaining advantages of AI-driven assurance and cloud-based
management. At launch, the solution will offer a zero-touch,
virtual LAN service called SD-LAN, available in the RUCKUS One
service catalog that customers can deploy onto the RUCKUS Edge
appliance with a single click.
“RUCKUS Edge is a significant product enhancement that enables
lower latency and enhanced service resiliency for businesses
seeking to manage their networks using cloud-management services,"
said Chris DePuy, founder and technology analyst, 650 Group.
"Additionally, by extending the company's RUCKUS One service
catalog to its Edge system, the company can enable the deployment
of a diverse array of services from both RUCKUS and third-party
offerings. We see the company's service catalog approach will
enable a means of incrementally offering AI services to improve
network operations."
Key Features and Benefits of RUCKUS Edge
- Simplified Deployment and Management: Centralized
cloud-managed platform automates tasks through web interface and
mobile app to reduce operational complexity.
- Scalability and Flexibility: RUCKUS Edge can scale to
address the needs of a broad range of organizations from small to
large. Multiple edge appliances can be clustered to load balance
and distribute workloads across multiple devices.
- Improved Security and Privacy: VXLAN based SD-LAN
service enables isolated virtual network segments that can span
across the campus, to provide different user groups with easy to
deploy, secure and custom access to network resources.
- Reduced Latency and Faster Data Transmission: The RUCKUS
Edge appliance improves performance by processing traffic closer to
the user.
- Seamless Roaming Within the Site: The solution enables
seamless Wi-Fi® roaming across campuses and properties without
interrupting user connections, preserving connected devices’ IP
addresses while users roam from one Wi-Fi AP to the next.
- Pay-as-You-Go Model: Flexible, subscription-based
pricing allows organizations to pay only for what they use,
reducing total cost of ownership.
- High Availability and Reliability: Redundant, clustered
edge appliances can be deployed for critical sites to boost network
resilience and minimize downtime.
- AI-Driven Assurance and Insights: RUCKUS One leverages
AI to deliver network assurance and enable IT to detect and resolve
incidents before they impact services and users.
- Converged Management Across IT and IoT/OT Networks:
Hybrid cloud platform allows management of both wired and wireless
LAN environments, as well as IoT networks, for seamless network
integration and minimal operational silos.
"We’re taking a bold step forward by extending the capabilities
of our AI-Driven network assurance and business intelligence
platform, RUCKUS One, to the edge of the network,” stated Bart
Giordano, SVP and president, Networking Intelligent Cellular and
Security Solutions, CommScope. "The RUCKUS Edge platform enables
RUCKUS Networks and its trusted technology partners to deliver a
variety of networking, security, and productivity services at the
edge of the network to enhance security, privacy, performance and
user experience."
Proven in Campus Network Deployments
“Deploying RUCKUS Edge has been a game-changer for Wewoka Public
Schools,” said Stephen Howard, IT director, Wewoka Public Schools.
“The simplified network configuration through overlay networks has
significantly reduced resources required from our lean IT
staff—minimizing the complexity of VLAN provisioning across
switches and APs. Centralized, AI driven cloud-based management has
streamlined our operations, making deployment and oversight much
more efficient. Additionally, the automated guest internet access
is seamless and secure, ensuring that our network remains protected
while providing a smooth experience for visitors. RUCKUS Edge has
truly transformed our approach to network management and
security."
“With the transformative shift to cloud, managing our campus
networks with the combination of RUCKUS One and RUCKUS Edge has
given us incredible visibility, scale and roaming capabilities,”
said Jason Guntharp, associate director of Telecommunications and
Information Services, Itawamba Community College. “With over 5,000
students and staff moving across our campuses daily, seamless Wi-Fi
roaming has become crucial; RUCKUS Edge delivers a seamless
experience throughout our campuses. Additionally, the ability to
create custom virtual networks for student residents has empowered
us to provide a personalized connectivity experience. RUCKUS has
made it remarkably easy for our IT team to configure and manage our
network efficiently.”
