Business Central Wireless Manager Data Sheet
Page 5 of 9
Features
The above figure shows how Business Central would be deployed in a typical network. All data trac flows
directly from the AP’s to the access wired network (as shown by the green line) while the control and
monitoring trac flows between the AP’s and the cloud management platform (as shown by the red
line). This approach allows user data to be quickly routed via the most ecient path to the Internet.
Furthermore, any additional security treatment of the data path can be implemented directly on the
various models of the NETGEAR switching portfolio.
Flexible Deployment Model
The tunnels between the Business Central Wireless Manager and the AP’s are initiated by the AP’s and not
by the Cloud Management System, thereby ensuring that the organization’s firewall will not need to have a
port open on inbound connections. This approach ensures that the deployment can be easily supported in
all network topology, including a NATted environment where the AP’s are located behind a firewall and/or a
branch gateway such as DSL or cable modem.
Redundancy and High Availability
Multiple geographically distributed data centers are used to host the Cloud Management System, thereby
ensuring that the management system continues to function even in the event of a catastrophic failure of
one data center.
Since the Business Central Wireless Manager is out of band for all data trac, in the event that the
organization’s link to the Internet is interrupted, client data trac will continue to flow normally — only
configuration and administrative changes are temporarily impacted during an Internet connection outage.
The system is automatically updated aer the restoration of the Internet link.
Simplified Deployment
The provisioning of a wireless network just requires the deployment of supported access points — with
setup and ongoing management undertaken inside the cloud management platform. Sizing, installation,
configuration, and maintenance of a controller for management or trac control plane is eliminated.
Additional re-sizing of a controller when AP deployments grow is also eliminated.
