Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers

Reducing AP license costs - controllers check licenses in the Cloud. We purchase licenses globally for organizations.

Lower support and service costs, we have reduced the number of controllers.

Positive impacts, yeah, is good to have a central location to control all these profiles for different countries and locations. And the drawback, like I said to you really because of the too many integrations that have a dependency on the software version. For example, Cisco ONE for Access have certain software that can run through and then this scatter center need to make sure it's working with the others APS version that is currently working. And we also, the Cisco Catalyst Center also have some kind another version of software that you need to support this controller. So it's like two tier three tiers of the software version that we need to match. Then only it can work.
