The unit ships with solid state drive and optional redundant power supplies.īoth Cisco Wireless Controllers ran latest software release version 8.1.102.0 and were tested withĬisco vs Aruba Wireless Controllers 5 DR150602D The 5520 supports 20 Gbps of network-connectivity bandwidth via twoġ0GE interfaces. This controller handles up to 20,000 clientsĪnd up to 1,500 APs. Medium-sized enterprises, branches and campuses.

The Cisco 5520 wireless controller addresses wireless-network control and management for The unit ships with solid state drive and redundant power supplies. The Cisco 8540, supports up to 6,000 APs and up to 64,000 clients, which can be subdivided intoĤ,096 VLANs. The Cisco 8540 supportsĤ0-Gbps of bidirectional throughput via four 10GE interfaces. This controller is designed to manage Cisco Aironet access points (APs). Wireless infrastructure of medium to large enterprises, campus and Service Provider deployments. The Cisco 8540 Wireless Controller is the current top-of-the-line model, designed to handle the The Wireless Controllers that were tested represent the current mid-range and high-end Management (RRM), we present the Miercom Performance Verified certification to the CiscoĬisco vs Aruba Wireless Controllers 4 DR150602D With better throughput, faster authentication and improved Radio Resource

Miercom independently verified key performance and feature differences between the Ciscoĥ5 Wireless Controllers, and comparable Wireless Controller models from Aruba With Cisco's Dynamic Bandwidth Selection, which Aruba doesn't support. TCP throughput performance is notably better with Cisco than Aruba for allĬhannel bandwidths – 50 percent better for 20-MHz channels and 116 Rate supported by the predecessor Cisco 5508 controller. Testing found that the latest Cisco 5520 controller can handle 764 WiFiĬlient authentications (IEEE 802.1X) per second – more than three times the Cisco can fill 85 to 95 percent of the 20-Gbps bandwidth, whileĪruba achieves less than 25 percent at most packet sizes. The Cisco 5520 and the Aruba 7210 both support 20 Gbps of networkīandwidth. IMIX test traffic Aruba effectively uses only about 30 percent, while theĬisco 8540 can fill most of this bandwidth at all packet sizes. Sizes, and with an IMIX real-world mixture of traffic packet sizes.īoth the Cisco 8540 and the Aruba 7240 Wireless Controllers support 40 High-end Aruba 7240 Wireless Controller with small and medium packet The Cisco 8540 delivers more than twice as much throughput than the Selection, and the extent that Cisco's Dynamic Bandwidth Selection (DBS) makes a difference.
