Cloud Managed Networking refers to the practice of utilizing cloud-based services and platforms to manage and control networking infrastructure, devices, and services. This approach allows organizations to centralize the management of their networking components through a cloud-based dashboard or interface, offering greater flexibility, scalability, and remote accessibility.
Cloud-managed networks enable rapid deployment, configuration changes, and updates.
Centralized management reduces the need for on-site IT staff and simplifies maintenance.
Cloud platforms provide high availability and redundancy.
Organizations can scale resources up or down as needed.
The control plane resides in the cloud, allowing administrators to configure and monitor the network remotely.
Network switches, routers, access points, and other hardware remain at the physical location.
Some network services (such as security policies) are managed through the cloud.
Cloud-managed networks simplify branch office connectivity and reduce the need for local IT expertise.
Managing large-scale IoT deployments becomes more efficient with cloud-based tools.
Cloud management supports remote workers and ensures consistent policies.
Cloud-managed networking combines the benefits of cloud agility with on-premises infrastructure, enhancing network efficiency and adaptability.
