Overview
The ubiquity of smart devices in our life — the laptops, smartphones and tablets responsible for dramatically shaping network space and mobilizing the workforce — requires a fast, secure, reliable, and full-coverage enterprise wireless network infrastructure. Considering management, intelligence and reliability, there are two enterprise-ready wireless network solutions on the current market: on-premises and cloud-managed WLANs. Both have advantages and disadvantages, and cannot be combined in order to compensate for each others’ weaknesses. Therefore, businesses are forced to choose one of these mutually exclusive solutions and tolerate its corresponding drawbacks — an unavoidable challenge, until now.
ABLOOMY’s cloud Wi-Fi solution is built on the company’s innovative edge computing technology: a single solution that combines the advantages of both on-premises and cloud-managed WLANs, bringing together simplicity, scalability, extensibility, reliability, performance and security. Unlike traditional, hard-coded customized hardware and AC-based on-premises WLAN, ABLOOMY’s solution pushes all wireless network functions and applications to its edge computing gateway in the form of VM or software models, and gives customers the flexibility to add more functions and applications without upgrading hardware. In so doing, ABLOOMY provides the advantages of cloud management, while maintaining the network security, data privacy, and management integrity associated with on-premises WLAN. ABOOMY’s edge computing architecture not only offers the benefits of current cloud-managed solutions, but also guarantees low latency, high performance, reliability, QoS and security, reduces the dependency on internet connection quality, and enables customers to seamlessly integrate cloud management with their company’s existing on-premises security policies.
Features
One solution combining on-premises and cloud-managed WLAN
By executing cloud functions on the customers’ premises, ABLOOMY’S cloud Wi-Fi solution gives customers an opportunity to take advantage of benefits offered by both on-premises and cloud-managed WLAN, and eliminate their drawbacks. The benefits of cloud-managed WLAN include cost savings through a pay-as-you-grow system, zero-touch deployment, scalability on demand, the ease of remote multi-site management, and effortless upgrades and maintenances. The benefits of on-premises WLAN include integration with local network security services, data privacy, rich features, network complexity, and management integrity.
End-to-End Enterprise Solution
ABLOOMY’s Cloud Wi-Fi solution offers end-to-end products designed for the enterprise market. These products, including wireless access points, network gateways, network switches, and mobile APPs, are each built to work together to deliver a fast, secure and highly reliable enterprise wireless network with comprehensive functions, such as network management, device management, wireless RF optimization, user management, authentication, network access control, firewall/VPN, audits, and location services.
3rd party devices’ cloud managed IT solution
In the enterprise environment, usually there are different IT devices from multiple vendors, ABLOOMY’s solution provides an open infrastructure to manage these devices via the cloud, allows traditional network devices to become cloud manageable, and enables customers to manage their devices with cloud functions like zero-touch deployment, remote management, remote monitoring and remote maintenance. Thus, a completely cloud-managed IT infrastructure is achieved.
Cloud based remote IT service solution
Abloomy’s completely cloud-managed IT infrastructure enables any vendor’s on-premises IT device to be remotely accessed from cloud, In addition, ABLOOMY’s cloud collaboration platform allows multiple teams of different talent to work together to troubleshoot problems, enables customers to simulate their real IT environment, and provides necessary ITSM functions.
Network and application visibility
ABLOOMY’s cloud solution provides visibility and insight into the health of the network. By being able to view network trends and anomalies instantly, customers receive real-time insight into exactly how the network is being used and where trouble might be lurking. IT teams can thus accommodate more users, new locations and technology demands, while maintaining performance, regulating costs and sustaining quality service. Beyond analyzing individual clients, data on overall network trends is also accessible, such as application usage and bandwidth consumption. Via the network topology view, organizations can also view how the network components themselves are interconnected. The network topology view automatically maps network architectures, saving businesses significant time when troubleshooting or performing a network optimization.
One-click network customization
ABLOOMY’s cloud Wi-Fi solution provides customers the easiest way to customize their network connections and network policies across multiple areas and sites, all through a single web browser. With but a few clicks, customers can take advantage of leveled multi-tenant role-based accounts and an end-to-end policy engine to setup and configure office VLAN, headquarter VPN, multiple WANs and guest networks alike. Dedicated security and QoS policies are available for each network connection. Specifically authorized administrators can be assigned to each network.
Purpose-designed Headquarters-branch Network solution
ABLOOMY’s cloud solution supports both private cloud and hybrid cloud, which makes it easier for a large business to set up headquarters-branch networks. SD-WAN and automatic VPN efficiently connect headquarters and branches, while end-to-end products and zero-touch deployment offer the best way to set up branch networks. Leveled multi-tenant accounts support the power balance of management between headquarters and each branch, while network and application visibility tools provide headquarters-based IT teams insight into the health of each branch’s IT environment. Remote IT support can thus maintain the IT environment of all branches, across multiple areas, while saving time and costs. The solution’s scalability enables businesses to seamlessly expand without paying up front.
