LANCOM vRouter
Virtualized performance for best scalability
The LANCOM vRouter is a software-based router for operation in virtualized environments based on a hypervisor like VMware ESXi, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Hyper-V, or Microsoft Azure. With its comprehensive range of functions and the numerous security features based on the operating system LCOS, it offers the best basis for modern infrastructures. Be it as a virtual VPN router (vCPE), as central site VPN gateway (vGateway), or as WLAN controller (vWLC), it is ideally suited for systems integrators, service providers, and for operation in medium-sized and large enterprises.
Network Function Virtualization
The LANCOM vRouter offers you maximum versatility in terms of performance and network size, and thus ideal adaptation to your individual infrastructure. It replaces hardware components in classic infrastructures and enables optimally scalable networking thanks to the virtualization of network functions (NFV).
Proven operating system virtualized
The LANCOM vRouter is a product that uncompromisingly unites the LANCOM core values of security, reliability and sustainability. Secure because it is based on the tried-and-trusted operating system LCOS. Reliable because the long-standing know-how of our employees has been incorporated into the product development. Sustainable because it supports advanced technologies such as SD-WAN, the latest virtualization technologies, and management via the LANCOM Management Cloud.
Virtualized WLAN controller functionality
In addition to a VPN router (vCPE) and a central-site VPN gateway (vGateway), the LANCOM vRouter now also supports the role of a virtual WLAN controller (vWLC). This allows full virtualization of WLAN controller functionalities on a virtualization platform such as VMWare ESXi, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Hyper-V, or Microsoft Azure. The number of managed access points depends on the license category activated on the vRouter.
Instant deployment anywhere
The routers are deployed with just a few clicks and within seconds instead of hours: At any location around the world, wherever a router is required, the LANCOM vRouter is created automatically—without any shipping or hardware installation! Be it in a lab environment, in your own server room or data center, or in the cloud.
Fast recovery
The LANCOM vRouter is easily and completely backed up to any storage medium at any time. This means that even in the event of server hardware failure, your router can be restarted immediately on another machine, so avoiding any lengthy network outages.
Full integration into the LANCOM Management Cloud
The LANCOM vRouter is effortlessly managed and monitored by the LANCOM Management Cloud. The LMC is the world's first management system for the intelligent organization, optimization and control of your entire network. This radically simplifies the management of installations, from small to very large scenarios. What's more, the virtual router can be managed with all of the tried-and-tested methods.
Radical simplification of the configuration with SD-WAN
In combination with the LANCOM Management Cloud, the LANCOM vRouter opens the way for automated management. The software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) enables the automatic setup of secure VPN connections between sites, including network virtualization across the wide-area network: A few mouse clicks is all it takes to enable the VPN function and select the required VLANs for each site. The laborious configuration of individual tunnel endpoints is no longer required at all.
