Barron,

We were part of the beta program for this controller and it is definitely the way to go for scalability. It's basically a WiSM without the chassis, huge savings on power requirements and consumption. With a 10 core cpu, this box has plenty of processing power. It's cool to do a code upgrade and see 100 APs downloading code at the same time. You may contact me offline for more details.

We have six Cisco 4404-100 wireless LAN controllers using 5.2.178.0 software and are in the process of purchasing another WLC. Cisco has just released the 5508 controller so I'm wondering if anyone has used this yet and, if so, what comments you have.
