Hsinchu Science Park, Hsinchu, Taiwan
What it is
Edgecore ecCLOUD is a cloud controller for managing wired and wireless networks across sites and geographic locations. Administrators can assign different privileges, provision devices automatically, apply configuration templates, and monitor networks on maps. The interface provides device status, real-time client traffic and uptime information, logs, reports, and alerts. For guest Wi-Fi, administrators can create branded captive portal pages for individual SSIDs with a drag-and-drop editor. A built-in account database supports tiered service plans with usage quotas, time limits, and device limits per account. The MSP Integration API lets MSPs, ISPs, and system integrators bring site, device, client, and network-status data into their own dashboards. Edgecore states that a cloud can register up to 500 sites with up to 500 devices per site, and gives a 99.9% uptime SLA as a composite service-performance metric. The free plan includes one day of cloud storage retention. Extended storage costs $1 a month, billed per device per month; AuthPort costs $2.90 a month, billed per device per month and for each site where enabled. Core Cloud includes 14 days of retention, with no price listed. An optional WedgeCND add-on provides automated protection against malware, ransomware, and phishing for Edgecore Wi-Fi 6 access points.
