decisions, it eliminates the traffic bottlenecks and complexities of controller-based solutions, particularly in distributed environments. So control is distributed, while management is centralized.

The appliance is accessible via a web browser in Windows, Mac, or Linux environments, with an AJAX-based interface that delivers rich features including Zero-Configuration and Virtual HiveManager
