How can Zyxel Nebula Enhance your Business?

How can Zyxel Nebula enhance your business?

Networks provide the foundational layer for all modern businesses. Every organisation that interacts with the modern business landscape needs networking, with each having its own needs and complexities. But even the smallest single-premise businesses, or SMBs with one or more offices, and medium-sized enterprises all need rapid and reliable networking to run their operations.

Many businesses in these categories rely on external MSPs to design, configure, and manage their networks. These businesses want good wireless connectivity, wired networking where it's the best choice, good Internet speeds, and robust security to protect their data, staff, and customers. Managing a lot of small networks is a challenge for MSPs. Thankfully making the deployment and management of networks like this easy is the reason that Zyxel Nebula Cloud exists.

Scalable Networking Made Easy

Zyxel’s Nebula Cloud secure networking solution provides cloud-based, centralised control and visibility over all Nebula wired, wireless, security, and mobile router hardware. With a comprehensive product portfolio that can be centrally managed from the cloud, Nebula offers simple, intuitive, and scalable management for all networks. Figure 1 shows how Nebula Cloud and on-premise Nebula-ready hardware devices can work together to make remote deployment and management of networks seamless for many business types.

Here are some of the highlights that the Nebula Cloud platform provides:

An intuitive, automated network management interface with continuous feature updates that eliminate resource-intensive training and labour for network implementation, maintenance, and support.
Zero-touch provisioning, built-in multi-tenant support, and multisite network management tools accelerate deployments.
Centralised, unified, and on-demand control, as well as visibility over the whole MSP estate that optimises the capital expense for hardware and software. Deploy exactly what's needed for each site rather than over-provision.
Nebula is a comprehensive networking & security product portfolio from a single vendor that ensures better product compatibility and reduces troubleshooting of integration issues between multiple vendors' products.
A per-device licensing model with flexible subscriptions provides optimal pricing for MSP clients of all sizes.
Free cloud management for the product's life without ongoing cloud licensing costs.

Using the above feature set (and others outlined in a free eBook linked in a section below) enables MSPs who adopt Nebula Cloud to deliver the following high-level benefits to their clients:

WiFi 6 that just works - Get the richest wireless collaboration with everything you need on the Nebula platform. We've written more about Zyxel WiFi 6 solutions here.
Rapid deployment - With a few simple clicks, MSPs can configure network devices without unboxing them. Simply ship the devices to the remote site, talk a local staff member through how to plug them in, and have a remote network up and running in minutes.
Security that is constantly evolving - The Nebula solution leverages technology from the world's leading network security vendors to protect your businesses and clients. Security updates get pushed out rapidly to safeguard everyone when new vulnerabilities are discovered and patched.
Stable and trusted connectivity - MSPs can enjoy centralised multi-tenant management across unlimited numbers of locations, with streamlined configuration and software updates from a single management console that provides the complete picture across all deployments. Management view segmentation is also available for delegation, privacy, or other reasons. The MSP is in control of what its staff sees.
