ZyXEL introduces cloud-managed access points


ZyXEL
Communications, a provider of secure broadband networking, Internet
connectivity and routing products, announced that its cloud-enabled access
point, NWA1100N-CE is available now with an exclusive promotion with PC
Connection.


Customers
who purchase a three-year cloud-management service for $299 at PC Connection
will receive the NWA1100N-CE at no additional cost.


According
to AMI Partners, SMBs will spend nearly $100 billion by 2014 on cloud computing1.
The cloud offers SMBs numerous benefits, including: pooled resources for lower
cost per user; on-demand access to services; the ability to centralize and
simplify management; and constant access to resources.


The
NWA1100N-CE offers these cloud-management advantages at an attractive price
point. In addition, the solution offers recurring revenue opportunities for
managed services providers (MSPs) that serve the SMB market.


The
NWA1100N-CE empowers MSPs to efficiently administer multiple customers’ Wi-Fi
networks remotely and in real time, thereby improving their efficiency, while
expanding their managed services to include Wi-Fi.


The
NWA1100N-CE is the first access point to offer the dual-management option of
being controlled either via via local user interface or remotely through cloud
services. ZyXEL also offers all NWA1100N-CE customers a free one-month trial of
the cloud-management service.


The
NWA1100N-CE leverages PowerCloud Systems’ patented CloudCommand technology.
Designed to meet the specific needs and budgets of the SMB market, CloudCommand
delivers comprehensive cloud capabilities to networking devices and provides
the NWA1100N-CE with enterprise-level features and management functionality –
for a fraction of the cost of a traditional enterprise solution.


“The
NWA1100N-CE provides small and mid-sized businesses the perfect blend of
business-class wireless hardware with the convenience of cloud-management
capabilities,” said Steven Joe, executive vice president of channel
business for Americas at ZyXEL.
