Reasons Why Cloud Network Management is being Adopted
The adoption of cloud-based network management is driven by increased efciency,
rapid scalability and reduced costs. Here is a more detailed look at the benets and
what’s behind them.
Remote Management
Cloud-based management is a simpler way to manage networks. Since there is no
need to deploy controllers on each site, network complexity is reduced. IT staff can
securely log into the cloud portal from any location and from any of their devices –
laptops, tablets or smartphones without the need of setting up VPN (Virtual Private
Network) connections for each site. Cloud management systems typically integrate
monitoring and reporting as a part of the solution unlike premises-based controller
systems which typically require separate applications for these functions. The burden
of having to maintain and upgrade controller hardware is removed, making IT staff
more available for other tasks. One of the key benets of cloud network management
is that it facilitates remote management in a way that is cost effective and secure
while also requiring less conguration.
