The following are the scale values for small, medium, and large instances:Small: 1000 APs and 10,000 clients
Medium: 3000 APs and 32,000 clients
Large: 6000 APs and 64,000 clients
OCI Compute Instances
OCI Compute service helps you provision and control the compute hosts, referred to as instances. You can create instances according to your specific compute and application needs.
When you create an instance, you can
-
securely connect to it from your own computer
-
reboot it
-
connect and disconnect storage volumes, and
-
shut it down permanently when it is no longer needed.
Supported Cloud Deployment Scenarios
The Cisco Catalyst Wireless Controller for Cloud supports the following deployment scenario:
-
