Edgecore ecCLOUD is a cloud controller for managing wired and wireless networks across multiple sites and geographical locations. Administrators can assign different privileges, provision devices automatically, use configuration templates, and monitor sites on maps with real-time network statistics. The monitoring interface includes device status, client traffic, 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, each with up to 500 devices. It gives a 99.9% uptime SLA and describes this 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 has 14-day retention; no price is listed.
