Scalability in Network Design
Things can change very rapidly these days. Trends come and go, markets fluctuate from season to season, and new technology like artificial intelligence turns entire industries on their heads. To meet these changes head-on and stay competitive, organizations must be ready to scale their digital services at a moment’s notice. This guide discusses how to use solutions from RUCKUS Networks to ensure scalability in network design.

The Importance of Scalability in Network Design
A network designed with scalability in mind will be able to accommodate sudden increases in demand, whether from more users accessing your application or more guests connecting to your Wi-Fi. For example, RUCKUS Networks makes high-capacity wireless access points that connect up to 1536 concurrent users on a single AP, so you can host events or take advantage of increased foot traffic without worrying about Wi-Fi performance issues driving people away. A scalable RUCKUS wireless network also uses technology like 4K QAM and AI-driven cloud radio resource management (AI RRM) to deliver high speeds and improved performance even at max capacity.
Reducing Enterprise Network Complexity
Something that’s often overlooked when designing scalable networks is complexity. Many organizations make the mistake of scaling by adding new equipment and solutions ad hoc, leaving administrators with a confusing mess of individual systems to manage. Network complexity increases the risk of human-error-related outages, so carefully planning your network is crucial to ensure scalability without increasing complexity. For example, RUCKUS SmartZone network controllers converge wireless and wired management in one platform, giving administrators single-pane-of-glass control over the entire architecture. SmartZone also leverages automation technology like zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) to streamline deployment and management so your network team can easily keep up with the pace of business.
Scaling Beyond the Enterprise
Many organizations use Internet of Things (IoT) technology to automate critical operations, collect valuable data, and enhance the customer experience. IoT devices aren’t limited by the physical bounds of the enterprise and are often deployed in remote sites with little to no human oversight. Rather than transmit IoT data to the cloud or a centralized data center, which uses expensive bandwidth and creates security risks, organizations are adopting edge computing solutions that process data in the same physical location as the source. Businesses must strategize ways to scale the network with IoT and edge computing technologies while maintaining oversight and efficient control. The RUCKUS One cloud-based network management solution can help by using artificial intelligence to automate control over large, distributed, complex network architectures. RUCKUS One unifies edge and enterprise network management workflows to reduce complexity and allows even small teams to oversee, troubleshoot, and optimize large edge deployments.
