Introduction
Companies are moving key applications like CRM , HR , and finance to the cloud to maximize IT efficiency , minimize IT costs , and improve the overall agility of business operations . For the same reasons , key infrastructure elements like security and storage are also being transitioned to the cloud .
Moving wireless to the cloud gives CIOs a more scalable and resilient infrastructure with better operational simplicity and efficiency . CIOs are increasingly looking to automate aspects of their WLAN environments , from provisioning equipment to onboarding users and tracking operations within the networks . The goal of a modern WLAN is not just to provide wireless connectivity but also to provide exceptional user experiences . AI and automation can remediate problems before they impact users , ensuring high-performance and consistent end user connections .
The first generation of cloud Wi-Fi management products introduced in 2007 were basically on-premises controllers that were virtualized and run as VMs in distributed data centers ( with management functions in the cloud .) These products simplified the deployment and management of wireless networks and sparked a major shift in the industry away from onpremises hardware .
However , because they are built on old technologies , they lack the agility and scale needed to satisfy today ’ s mobile-first companies . They also lack a proper foundation for addressing key Wi-Fi requirements , such as automation using ML and AI and visibility into the user experience . x
