Global enterprises are increasingly adopting the cloud to improve scalability, simplify infrastructure, and reduce costs. As demand for cloud-native solutions grows, especially with our expanding NAC (Network Access Control) offerings, it's important to show how the cloudi-Fi Identity Platform solves real operational challenges.
By focusing on service quality, flexibility, cost-efficiency, and interoperability, it is easy to compare the benefits of cloud-native systems to traditional hardware and hybrid models, demonstrating their advantages in addressing modern needs.
Cloud-native solutions like Cloudi-Fi streamline operations by enabling rapid feature development and deployment with minimal maintenance. Unlike traditional systems, which require managing multiple software versions, cloud-native environments run on a single version for all customers, allowing for continuous, seamless updates.These platforms also provide automated scalability, adjusting resources in real time based on demand. This eliminates the need for manual infrastructure changes during traffic spikes or regional expansions, a common issue with traditional systems. Additionally, cloud-native platforms offer extensive API integrations and microservices, allowing easy customization and extension without the complexities often found in hardware-centric setups.
Cloud-native services like Cloudi-Fi offer 99.999% uptime through a Service Level Agreement (SLA), leveraging multi-region redundancy and automatic failover. If any part of the system experiences issues, traffic is instantly rerouted to operational regions, ensuring continuous service with minimal downtime.
Unlike traditional systems dependent on physical redundancy and manual backups, cloud-native platforms use self-healing mechanisms and constant monitoring to detect and resolve issues before they affect availability.
They also employ dynamic load balancing to distribute resources efficiently during high-demand periods, preventing bottlenecks that hardware-based systems often encounter due to infrastructure limitations.
Cloudi-Fi offers seamless integration with existing systems using OAuth2, SAML, and OpenID Connect, making it ideal for BYOD, guest networks, and IoT devices. Unlike traditional hardware, Cloudi-Fi simplifies deployment in complex environments without requiring intricate configurations or limiting compatibility with modern identity protocols.
Built with containerized microservices, Cloudi-Fi operates across on-premise, hybrid, or fully cloud infrastructures, reducing deployment time and complexity. It enables instant scalability, allowing organizations to expand quickly without new hardware or downtime, unlike traditional systems that require manual adjustments.
Cloudi-Fi’s multi-cloud and infrastructure-agnostic model supports any provider—AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or private clouds—giving organizations the flexibility to switch providers without being locked into a single ecosystem, a limitation in hardware-based systems.
