Cloud Managed Networks: Revolutionizing Enterprise Network Management

The success of enterprise cloud architectures begins with the ability to connect and manage cloud environments across departments, and today, many enterprises are using multiple cloud service providers. The cloud managed network is a new model for network deployment, and the enterprise can host the entire lifecycle in the cloud for management. This article has provided an introduction to cloud managed networks, highlighting the reasons and advantages of choosing this approach, as well as how it functions.

What Is Cloud Managed Network?

The cloud managed network is composed of a cloud management platform and network equipment. The cloud managed network solution allows network devices such as access points, switches, gateways, and firewalls to be managed on the cloud platform. It is an innovative network management mode that relies on cloud management platforms and uses emerging technologies such as big data, and cloud computing to implement cloud based management and monitoring of network equipment and business experience.

Why Cloud Managed Networking?

With the maturation and widespread adoption of virtualization and cloud computing technologies, an increasing number of enterprises are using cloud computing technologies to build cloud network management platforms. To solve the growing complexity and increasing costs of many data centers, as well as to simplify management and ensure information security, it creates integrated service delivery, automated operations, and maintenance management, virtualized resource consolidation, and software-defined IT resources. Cloud managed network provides the following advantages:

• Accelerated deployment and acceptance of software and feature updates, along with a decrease in the number of network management devices required on-site.

• Streamlined network management processes, including improved provisioning, deployment, monitoring, reporting, and issue resolution.

• Increased flexibility for network expansion and the implementation of failover, replacement, and redundancy services.

How Cloud Managed Networks Drive Innovation

Cloud computing has revolutionized the possibilities that were previously limited by isolated on-premises infrastructure and software. With the advent of the cloud, gathering data from numerous sources has become simpler, enabling support for a larger audience without the need for additional physical resources. Additionally, the creation of extensive data lakes facilitates more detailed and insightful analytics. This same level of advancement applies to cloud managed networking as well.

• The entirety of managed network infrastructure can contribute telemetry data to a centralized data lake, enabling improved analysis.

• High-performance computing and machine learning capabilities can detect anomalous patterns, assisting in troubleshooting efforts.

• By comparing high-performance computing insights across different locations, organizations can receive guidance on optimizing network performance for increased efficiency.

• Sharing information about new IoT devices becomes more streamlined, enhancing network security measures.

Benefits of Cloud Managed Networking

The following table compares the benefits of cloud managed network and traditional network:

How Does the Cloud Managed Network Work?

Cloud managed networks manage the network throughout its lifecycle. When the network is unliving, it can be planned and designed offline to define the network architecture. When the network is built and delivered, the defined network architecture is implemented as a project, and the entire delivery process is process-controlled and quality-controlled. All managed network infrastructures can feed telemetry data into a single data lake for better analysis.

After acceptance, the network formally enters the service phase, where the core requirements of the network are stable operation, fewer failures, and rapid localization and fault recovery after failures occur. Among other things, machine learning services can identify anomalous patterns to help troubleshoot. The cloud managed network's monitoring, change, and inspection modules ensure stable operation during the service phase until the network is taken offline.

Throughout the network lifecycle, resource management ensures that network resources are consistent with the real network. And information about new IoT devices can be shared more easily, thereby enhancing network security.
