Mojo Networks has released updates to its cloud Wi-Fi architecture to meet the demands of large scale enterprise and university deployments. Two key components of this architecture are the Cloud Integration Point, allowing users to integrate Mojo Cloud with local network security, logging and management systems, and the Multiservice Platform, providing the capability to migrate a Wi-Fi network from controller to cloud without redesigning the underlying architecture.
“Large enterprises, Carriers, ISPs and educational institutions – for many decades now – are caught up in a web of a controller-based Wi-Fi infrastructure. Many of them haven’t been able to completely accept the concept of cloud because of the fact that the first generation of controller-less and cloud solutions didn’t serve their purpose and more importantly, could not scale it up. Our new product allows them to take advantage from the intelligence, performance, and the massive scalability of the Mojo Cloud, and in moving without doing a comprehensive altering their WLAN hardware,” said Kiran Deshpande, Co-founder and President, Mojo Networks.
The Cloud Integration Point in Mojo’s Wi-Fi architecture simplifies integration with local network management systems (NMS), security information and event management (SIEM) systems, Syslog servers and even existing WLAN controllers, allowing network administrators the flexibility to have a unified view of their network while leveraging the benefits of the cloud. The Cloud Integration Point is simply a software-defined mode on the Mojo access points; no additional hardware is necessary.
By enabling a Mojo cloud-based Wi-Fi network to coexist alongside a controller-based network, Mojo’s Multiservice Platform offers customers the option to gradually transition their existing Wi-Fi deployments to Mojo Cloud without any downtime. Even for pure Mojo Cloud customers, it enables a flexible data plane allowing selected Wi-Fi networks to switch data locally versus tunneling data to a central aggregation point.
The Multiservice Platform is available in two models: the MP2100 for small-to-medium campus and retail environments, and the MP4100 for large enterprises, campuses, and carriers requiring support for up to 1 million network clients. The Multiservice Platform acts as the traffic tunnel and management interface to Mojo’s Cognitive Wi-Fi solution, a self-driving network that harnesses the power of cloud and the insight of machine learning to deliver a stellar Wi-Fi experience.
