ExtremeCloud IQ Scalability

DK
Owner at Sebitu

The scalability of the system is exceptionally high, and it is well-optimized for large-scale deployments. It's capable of supporting thousands of access points, even in challenging environments like stadiums with a high density of users. Managing access points in close proximity is usually difficult due to interference issues, but the system handles this admirably by adjusting settings and reducing interference. Even for smaller-scale applications, such as managing ten access points with ten users, it proves effective. I would rate it eight out of ten.

The solution is highly scalable, and there are no restrictions on the number of APs you can use. It's a matter of licensing and how many units you are willing to deploy.

We have installed 300+ APs on our largest site without encountering any performance issues or other challenges.

Senior Network Engineer at Nipun Net Solutions

ExtremeCloud IQ is a highly scalable solution because it's a cloud-based solution, and we don't have a restriction on how many APs we can connect to the cloud. Whenever you have an AP, just purchase your licenses, and connect to the cloud. We don't have any limitations in terms of scalability. Approximately 2000 plus users are currently using the solution in our organization. ExtremeCloud IQ is currently being used 24/7 and to its maximum potential in our organization.

I rate ExtremeCloud IQ ten out of ten for scalability.

ExtremeCloud IQ is very scalable. It's the most scalable solution I know. It may have the same level of scalability as Mist AI from Juniper and Aerohive from Ruckus Wireless.

The solution can scale. It's not a problem. If we need to add access points, we just add them. We have about 2,500 people on the solution.

We have had no issues with scalability. The WIFI planning tool is a great asset for us. We evaluate the coverage and then add APs as needed to cover dead spots or add new areas of coverage.

We were able to quickly configure and deploy statewide. We installed on average six new units each week for the last year. I recently installed 40 units in one week to a new campus without any difficulty.

It's scalable. You can get the serial number and enter from the Extreme portals. We get serial numbers from the product, enter it in the website, and create zones, buildings, areas.

None at all. Aerohive is very scalable due to its pricing and licensing model. It gives the consumer the flexibility to expand their wireless network as and when funding is available. It is great to just be able to buy a new AP, plug it in and off you go!!

Scalability is simple. You just plug in a new AP and push code. As long as you have a PoE switch you can put an AP up to 100m away without issue.

No issues. In high traffic areas, or in poor coverage areas, we've simply added APs and they're onboard right away. There are a couple of large rooms that have had an AP added due to the 100 client limit.
