Reduced Costs
Many cost savings can be realized with the cloud. Capital expenditure can be
reduced and cashow increased by removing controller hardware costs. Also, it
reduces the time that IT staff spend to maintain, upgrade and expand the network. As
your company grows, you can increase the network size more easily without concern
for restrictions that a premises-based controller may impose or costly controller
upgrade leaps that may be required. Cloud network management is more of a ‘pay
as you grow’ approach to expansion. In the case of organizations with more than one
location but with a centralized IT department, zero-touch deployment reduces travel
time and costs. IT staff can easily and securely log-in to monitor and manage the
network from any smart device with an internet connection.
Managed Services
If the idea of outsourcing the responsibility for network management and maintenance
is attractive, then cloud network management will be the default route that your
managed service provider will want to take. The cloud facilitates off-site management
and zero-touch deployment which are benets that help MSPs increase efciency.
