Cloud and On-Premise Wireless Services

1. Cloud Wireless Services: Legend ITS provides Cloud wireless services, also known as cloud-managed Wi-Fi or cloud Wi-Fi, involving the use of a cloud-based platform to manage and control wireless network infrastructure. The wireless access points (APs) and network devices are typically located on-site, but they are remotely managed and configured through a centralized cloud-based management portal.

• Key Features:

• Centralized Management: All network management tasks, including configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting, are performed via a web-based dashboard provided by the cloud service provider.
• Scalability: Cloud Wi-Fi solutions are often scalable, allowing organizations to easily add or remove access points to accommodate changing network requirements.
• Automatic Updates: Firmware updates, security patches, and feature enhancements are managed and delivered by the cloud provider, reducing the burden on local IT staff.
• Accessibility: Administrators can access the management portal from anywhere with internet connectivity, making it suitable for remote management and monitoring.
• Guest Access and Security: Cloud Wi-Fi solutions often include features for guest access, security, and policy enforcement.

• Use Cases: Cloud wireless services are commonly used by small to medium-sized businesses, distributed enterprises, and organizations that require simplified network management without the need for extensive on-site IT staff. They are also suitable for temporary or remote deployments.

1. On-Premises Wireless Services:

• Description: LITS also provides On-premises wireless services that involve the deployment of wireless access points and network controllers or virtual controllers within an organization's physical location or data centre. Network administrators have direct control over the hardware, configurations, and management of the wireless network.
• Key Features:

• Local Control: Administrators have complete control over the configuration and management of the wireless network infrastructure, which is physically located on-site.
• Customization: Organizations can tailor the network to their specific needs, including security policies, access controls, and integration with other on-premises systems.
• Privacy and Data Control: Data and network traffic remain within the organization's premises, which can be important for organizations with strict data privacy and compliance requirements.
• High Performance: On-premises solutions can provide high-speed and low-latency connectivity, making them suitable for applications with demanding performance requirements.

• Use Cases: On-premises wireless services are commonly used by large enterprises, government agencies, and organizations with stringent security and compliance needs. They are also favoured in environments where high performance and data control are critical, such as healthcare and manufacturing.

Choosing between cloud and on-premises wireless services depends on various factors, including the organization's size, IT resources, budget, security requirements, and scalability needs. Some organizations may even opt for a hybrid approach, combining elements of both cloud and on-premises solutions to meet their specific wireless networking needs.
