RUCKUS Release Brand New SmartZone and Data Plane

We’re excited to announce the release of RUCKUS latest SmartZone Controller (SZ144) and Data Plane (SZ144-D) appliances. The SZ144 and SZ144-D appliances are the newest additions to our lineup of SZ100 appliances and are based on the next generation platform with an advanced Intel CPU and additional memory.

This high-performance platform delivers twice the performance compared to the current SZ100 appliances. For instance, the SZ144 has the capacity to support up to 2,000 Access points or up to 400 switches. The SZ144 and SZ144-D appliances also have upgraded connectivity with four 1GbE Ethernet ports and four 10GE SFP+ ports. Reliability on these platforms has been enhanced with the use of a solid-state hard drive for storage and adding the option for a redundant AC power supply.

The SZ144 and SZ144-D appliances will be released with SmartZone OS v5.2.1

According to CommScope, the SmartZone controller SZ144 and Data Plane SZ144-D are expected to be available for order and shipment in mid-August. For early enquiries please get in touch with us ruckus@purdi.com
