Hi  @shuravko 

OC300

• Features:

  • Supports up to 500 APs.

  • Basic DPI and IDS/IPS capabilities.

  • Suitable for small to medium-sized networks.

• Performance:

  • Generally performs well for its intended use case.

  • May struggle with very high traffic or complex configurations.

• Future-Proofing:

  • Good for environments that are not expected to grow significantly in the near future.

OC400

• Features:

  • Supports up to 1000 APs.

  • Enhanced DPI and IDS/IPS capabilities.

  • Redundancy features for high availability.

  • Improved performance and stability.

• Performance:

  • Better suited for larger networks with higher traffic.

  • More robust and reliable, especially under heavy load.

• Future-Proofing:

  • Ideal for environments that are expected to grow or require high availability.

Running DPI and IDS/IPS on Software Controller

DPI and IDS/IPS is mostly a gateway thing. While both the OC300 and OC400 can run DPI and IDS/IPS, the OC400 is generally more reliable and capable of handling these features without performance degradation. The OC400's enhanced capabilities make it better suited for environments where these features are critical.

Additional Considerations

• Redundancy: The OC400 offers redundancy features that can significantly improve the reliability of your network. This is particularly important if your network is mission-critical.

• Performance: If you're experiencing slow speeds and crashes with the OC200, the OC400 is likely to provide a more stable and faster experience, especially with its improved hardware and software capabilities.

• Future-Proofing: If you anticipate your network growing or requiring more advanced features in the future, the OC400 is a better investment. It offers more scalability and advanced features that can accommodate future needs.
