Role-based access control

With role-based access control (RBAC), you can perform fine-grained access management of the Cloudnet platform. A user can create subaccounts with different user roles and authorize them with different sites or branches to separate rights and achieve hierarchical management.

Subaccount authority

Terminal management

The platform provides unified management of various terminals to reduce management costs.

Full network management

The Cloudnet platform supports full-standard network connection and management, wired and wireless integration, supports unified monitoring, configuration, maintenance, and operation of switches, routers, wireless ACs, APs, and security devices, and provides unified cloud management.

Automated WAN service deployment

The SD-WAN solution supports automated deployment of VPN services, LAN services, and QoS services across the whole network. You can define applications based on the IP 5-tuple, DSCP, VPN information, and application-layer packet signatures. You can define policies based on route selection, bandwidth, and service quality requirements and the time range.

VPN service deployment—After a device comes online, the SD-WAN automatically deploys IPsec tunnel settings if the WAN interface of the device connects to the Internet. Meanwhile, the SD-WAN creates a SD-WAN tunnel for each WAN link to provide consistent traffic engineering, irrespective of their link types.

LAN service deployment—The SD-WAN automatically deploys LAN service settings to devices at the branch sites, eliminating the need to configure the devices one by one manually. The CPE device can be deployed as a Layer 3 gateway at the branch site, or it can connect to the Layer 3 network in the branch through a routing protocol.

Agile QoS service deployment—From the application group configuration page, you can configure the maximum bandwidth to implement application group-based rate limiting on LAN interfaces of devices. If the bandwidth rented from a service provider is smaller than that of the interface, you can configure a rate limit for the WAN interface to prevent excess traffic from being dropped by the service provider. If traffic flows with multiple priorities exist in the network and congestions occur, you can configure an assurance profile to ensure low latency for high priority traffic by assigning a high priority queue and more bandwidth to it. You can make dynamic bandwidth and rate limit adjustments based on real-time network conditions to protect core network applications. For example, in special or critical periods, you can block or rate-limit illegitimate traffic or low-priority traffic to ensure the bandwidth requirements of high-priority services.

Intelligent and flexible traffic engineering policies

The SD-WAN solution supports various types of traffic engineering policies.

Traffic engineering based on bandwidth usage, link coloring, and other factors—Assume that two services run on the same link under normal circumstances. When the bandwidth usage of the link reaches the threshold, the device automatically steers service traffic to the other link according to the traffic engineering settings deployed by SD-WAN to ensure user experience.

Traffic engineering based on latency, jitter, packet loss rate, and other factors—Assume that two services run on the same link under normal circumstances. When the latency on the link reaches the threshold, the device automatically steers service traffic to the other link according to the traffic engineering settings deployed by SD-WAN to ensure user experience.

Time range-based traffic engineering—You can configure SD-WAN to enforce different traffic engineering policies during different time ranges to ensure guaranteed delivery of high-priority services in the desired time ranges.

WAN acceleration

The SD-WAN solution supports Web caching and Forward Error Correction (FEC) for acceleration and optimization of applications on the WAN.

Web caching: When a user first accesses a Web page through HTTP or HTTPS, the device caches the Web page content locally. The next time the same content is requested (within the aging time), the device directly serves the content from the cache. This helps speed up the application load time by at least 400% and improve Webpage access efficiency by 100%.

FEC: FEC is a technique used for controlling errors in data transmission over unreliable or noisy communication channels. The sender automatically calculates and adjusts the ratio of redundant packets according to the real-time packet loss rate obtained through end-to-end link quality detection to ensure low packet loss rate at the expense of little link bandwidth. This helps improve data transmission for real-time services such as voice and video services over low-SLA links such as Internet links.

Multi-service

The Cloudnet provides various business functions including cloud engineering survey, large-screen monitoring, PPSK, cloud authentication, hotel management, etc., which comprehensively shows the business capacity of Cloudnet in network deployment, network management, and customized services.

Mobile service capability

Cloudnet APP provides mobile operation and maintenance capabilities, and IT personnel can carry it with them and grasp the network operation status anytime and anywhere. When a network failure occurs, it can be monitored in real time and remotely processed in time, enabling zero distance operation and maintenance. The Cloudnet APP not only supports one-click diagnosis, real-time monitoring, and alarm push, but also can remotely perform common operations such as version upgrade, configuration backup, configuration restoration, and file management of related devices.
