The Benefits of NetCloud Manager
- Accelerate time to service: Enable LTE and 5G WAN connectivity effortlessly across tens of thousands of sites, vehicles, or IoT devices. Deploy configuration changes, security policies, modem firmware updates, and edge compute orchestration in just a few clicks.
- Reduce Costs: When lean IT is crucial, send fewer IT staff to remote sites — and less often — with remote monitoring and management capabilities. Prevent data overages through cellular data usage monitoring, alerts, and control.
- Gain Valuable Insights: Track wired and wireless LAN and WAN health through dashboards, live stat views, and reports. Monitor both network and security events from a single pane of glass.
- Enhance Quality of Experience: Track the quality of experience of your applications, using SD-WAN policies to direct high-priority applications to the best-performing WAN connections.
