Cradlepoint NetCloud Guide

Cradlepoint’s NetCloud Platform hosts NetCloud Manager and Perimeter, along with other cloud-based applications supported by Cradlepoint. The lynchpin of all Cradlepoint cloud services, it is a next-generation software and services platform that provides software-defined and cloud-delivered management, connectivity, security services and more.

Cradlepoint NetCloud Manager Cradlepoint’s NetCloud Manager (NCM) is an essential tool for any organisation with a distributed Cradlepoint 4G LTE networking solution. NCM enables organisations to rapidly deploy and dynamically manage networks which are geographically distributed – be they mobile or fixed. It helps to improve productivity, reduce total cost of ownership, and enhance network and business operation intelligence.

INSTANT INSIGHTS & INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT Robust real-time analytics and alerting across network

performance, data usage, and QoE, plus application-aware policies for intelligent WAN selection and optimisation.

LOWER THE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP Remote diagnostics for troubleshooting reduces the need for truck rolls, plus data usage monitoring avoids overage

charges and bill shock.

PROTECT YOUR NETWORK

Secure data transactions with advanced VPN options, hosted in a Tier 4, SSAE Type II compliant datacentre.

Remotely upgrade firmware for up-to-date security and PCI compliance.

SCALE FASTER

Zero-touch configuration for rapid deployment with cloud-managed instant scalability and no capital infrastructure

costs. Access to additional applications for increased capabilities and security.

Available in 3 different versions – Standard, PRIME and Enterprise – NCM has been built with flexibility in mind. The following table compares these versions to help you to select the most appropriate option.

NetCloud Perimeter Cradlepoint NetCloud Perimeter (NCP) creates a software-defined perimeter, delivered as a service. Building a virtual overlay network, NCP can connect devices, remote networks and “things” across any public or private cloud, as well as providing secure access for remote users on Windows, iOS, Android or Linux devices – extending the simplicity, security and utility of Layer-3 LANs anywhere across the Internet and securing data transactions across the enterprise network.

INCREASE AGILITY AND SECURITY Instant networks, anywhere, plus micro-segmentation at

scale.

REDUCE COMPLEXITY Self-organising networks, using orchestration /

automation.

REDUCE WAN COSTS

Hybrid WAN support and intelligent traffic steering.

DO MORE, LESS BOXES Software-driven overlay WAN and virtual cloud-based services means less hardware but more capabilities.

NetCloud Perimeter is available as a Client version which runs on devices such as PCs, servers and mobile devices, or as a Gateway version to run on Cradlepoint routers and gateways. NetCloud Perimeter Gateway must be purchased with NetCloud Manager.

NetCloud API The NetCloud Application Program Interface (API) allows organisations to integrate NetCloud Manager data into their applications. Enabling automated data transfer, using consistent and efficient programmatic methods, the NetCloud API: ▪ Creates an open architecture for extensibility by the Cradlepoint developer community

▪ Efficiently shares data and processes

▪ Automates system-to-system, machine-to-machine and cloud-to-cloud integration

▪ Automatically delivers up-to-date information any time, on-demand

▪ Enables the creation of a seamless, interoperable network management solution

▪ Can expand product and service portfolios

▪ Is backwards compatible

▪ Features standard RESTful open web API Integration opportunities span network management systems, security information and event management systems, 3rd party applications, customised vertical applications and network health monitoring.

It enables organisations to: ▪ Transparently enforce security and corporate policies from any device

▪ Access instant insights into malicious activity and Internet browsing trends through an intuitive dashboard

▪ Filter domains for all Internet connection requests by intelligently routing traffic to permissible Internet sites, and blocking access to known malicious or unauthorised sites

▪ Limit liability by filtering salacious sites and providing instant protection against malware, botnets, adware, phishing attacks, and suspicious destinations

CP Secure Threat Management

CP Secure Threat Management (powered by Trend Micro) is an “on box” comprehensive intrusion protection system and intrusion detection system. It enables organisations to: ▪ Protect sensitive data

▪ Defend against evasion attacks

▪ Respond faster and remediate more efficiently

▪ Improve network availability

▪ Deploy quickly through flexible cloud-management

▪ Ensure peace of mind
