Network management is more than just installing hardware. It is the sensible design of networks, the roll-out of configurations, and later also the monitoring and troubleshooting of projects. All of this costs IT admins a lot of resources. A professional network management tool makes these tasks easier and saves time and stress. Cloud-based network management software also offers many practical approaches for optimizing existing networks, identifying potential sources of interference and maintaining a constant overview of performance.
With our network management solution, the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC), IT specialists can manage customer networks faster and more securely. Using the LMC, they are able to offer high-quality and targeted service without on-site appointments and the resulting loss of time, and to make adjustments to networks without a great deal of effort. See for yourself how the LANCOM Management Cloud supports you in meeting the high demands of modern and secure network management.
User-bound API keys for easy integration of third-party applications
You can now create user-specific API keys directly under “My profile > API Keys”. These enable secure and flexible integration of third-party applications – without complex authentication procedures or additional configuration. The API keys operate within the access rights context of your user account, allowing all accesses and actions to be distinctly attributed to you. You decide whether access is project-related or cross-project. You gain more security and control through clear management of recent usage and transparent visibility in project and device logs.
Secure SD-WAN engineered in Germany
How far can maximum security go? Wide area networks, in particular, demand top application performance around the clock, efficient use of resources, cutting-edge security, and long-term investment protection. LANCOM Systems offers a German-engineered SD-WAN one-box solution that also safeguards your digital sovereignty – for maximum security and performance across the board.
Intelligent assistance
Systems and programs are now written so intelligently that they can provide considerable support for the IT team.
How about automatic WLAN anomaly detection, that alerts you immediately to anomalies and faults in the Wi-Fi and suggests possible solutions? Or a one-click optimization for your Wi-Fi that makes holistic improvements and learns for itself?
Full overview with good visualization
The sheer volume of data flows, network connections, and device settings is almost impossible to keep track of. Clear visualizations and dashboards help you to grasp everything quickly and identify trends faster.
Map views, building views, graphs, and clear color codes help the eye to see the essential information and speed up work.
At LANCOM Systems, we believe that true dedication to a cause requires wholehearted involvement. For us, digital sovereignty is not just a buzzword – it is a genuine commitment embraced by every employee. From product development and software programming to quality management, sales, and marketing, we take pride in what we stand for: technological quality products engineered in Germany, 100% backdoor-free, 100% GDPR-compliant, and developed with a steadfast focus on empowering our customers digitally. We believe it is worth showing your face for what you stand for – and that is exactly what we do. And that's exactly what we're doing. In our campaign month ‘Digital Sovereignty’ on LinkedIn, we’re sharing exciting insights and information about one of the most important topics in European politics and society.
Basics
Good reasons for cloud-based network management
No network is perfect. Somehow, you always wish it would be better, simpler, more secure – and cheaper. Or you rely on a cloud to manage your network and check off all four wishes at once. Why you should leave your network management to a central control software from now on, and all about the basics of the LANCOM Management Cloud, can be read here.
Cloud security
The security of the LANCOM Management Cloud
Anyone who entrusts their data or systems to a cloud wants to know that they are in good hands – especially if the entire network is connected to it. Data protection, network security, access controls, and failover play an essential role in protecting against data loss, service outages, and unauthorized access, and in meeting legal requirements. We explain how these aspects are handled in the LANCOM Management Cloud.
Network design
Set up and configure networks with ease
In the ideal world of network management, all network components are cloud-enabled and can be configured centrally from anywhere. Networks are set up quickly and securely according to the network strategy and they run smoothly. Everyone is happy. Sounds like an unattainable ideal? Not at all! The path there is only three steps away.
Network monitoring
24/7 monitoring using clear dashboards
Do you also think network monitoring is time-consuming and confusing? With its clear dashboards on VPN / WAN, WLAN / LAN, and security / compliance, the LANCOM Management Cloud proves you wrong. Find out how you can not only save time and resources, but above all react to network errors as quickly as possible.
Network expansion
Uncomplicated roll-outs, maximum scalability
Tedious individual configurations of devices at each new location can sometimes dampen the joy of corporate growth. Fortunately, the new world of network expansion with the cloud thrives on the sophisticated LANCOM concept of a fully cloud-enabled device portfolio, smart packaging, and maximum user-friendliness.
Roles & rights
Efficient resource allocation in the IT team
Efficient network management distributes the responsibility for IT among several shoulders and uses the strengths of its specialists in an appreciative and reasonable manner. Thanks to the clearly defined user roles of the LANCOM Management Cloud and their practice-oriented gradations, even low IT resources are used in the best possible way and personnel failures are well cushioned.
Wi-Fi troubleshooting
Detect and eliminate potential faults quickly
What happens when you pair cloud-driven network management with a hefty dose of Wi-Fi intelligence? You get such unerring troubleshooting that it's a real boon for in-house IT. The WLAN anomaly detection of the LANCOM Management Cloud identifies potential faults before they occur, reports deviations from defined threshold values and provides concrete assistance in finding solutions.
Time savings
Save time, staff, and nerves with the LMC
Time is precious. Especially in the IT department of companies. But many work steps in network management are time-consuming and costly due to their redundancy and small-scale nature. Surely there must be a better and simpler way? That's right! With network automation from the LANCOM Management Cloud, you can save 75% of your time and increase your IT efficiency.
