Cisco Flex 7500
The Cisco Flex 7500 Series Cloud Controller is a highly scalable branch controller for multi-site
wireless
deployments. Deployed in the private cloud, the Cisco Flex 7500 series controller extends
wireless services to distributed branch offices with centralized control that lowers total cost of
operations.
The Cisco Flex 7500 series (
Figure 1
) can manage wireless
access points
in up to 2000 branch locations
and allows IT managers to configure, manage, and troubleshoot up to 6000 access points (APs) and
64,000 clients from the data center. The Cisco Flex 7500 series controller supports secure guest access,
rogue detection for Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance, and in-branch (locally switched) Wi-Fi
voice and video.
The following table highlights the scalability differences between the Flex 7500, 8500, WiSM2 and
WLC 5500 controller:
Note
Flex 7500 only operates in FlexConnect mode. Additional modes are supported in WiSM2, 5500,
