Prioritizing Cloud Without Compromising Security
Sierra Wireless has recently introduced Hybrid Cloud - an optional security feature for the AirLink® Management Service (ALMS).
During a time when data security is at the top of every IT manager's concerns, Hybrid Cloud ensures complete physical or logical isolation between your management system and your operational networks, providing an additional layer of security and further fortifying your operations against potential cybersecurity threats.
The advanced security features of Hybrid Cloud enhance the already top-tier management solution for AirLink® routers. By implementing an innovative approach to network management, Hybrid Cloud effortlessly combines the advantages of cloud technology with the robust security measures of on-premise infrastructure.
With on-premise signing, Hybrid Cloud enables complete local authority over your management system by seamlessly integrating with your public key infrastructure (PKI) environment. Meanwhile, every cloud operation requires local smart card approval, ensuring a clear separation of responsibilities, enhanced control, and peace of mind.
Organizations can incorporate this feature into their existing AirLink Complete or AirLink Premium subscriptions.
Scalability to Meet Your Needs
Hybrid Cloud harnesses the inherent benefits of cloud technology, allowing organizations to trust in the expertise and robust security framework of a premier cloud platform while enjoying the freedom to focus on what truly matters: core business operations.
Scalability: It offers an adaptable infrastructure that grows in tandem with your evolving business requirements.
Cost-effectiveness: It minimizes the necessity for substantial hardware investments.
Acceleration: It facilitates swift deployment to meet your operational demands.
Key Considerations for Hybrid Cloud Adoption
Sierra Wireless provides a range of comprehensive service packages - AirLink® Complete and AirLink Premium - that equip businesses with the necessary tools and support for securing, optimizing, and seamlessly expanding router deployments. Hybrid Cloud is an optional security feature for AirLink Complete and AirLink Premium, covering an entire fleet of AirLink XR and RX routers.
When contemplating the integration of Hybrid Cloud, here are some crucial questions to ponder:
Are You In Need Of Top-Tier Security And Control?
AirLink® router solutions are fundamentally designed with security as a paramount feature. Our ALMS platform and data rely on a state-of-the-art cloud infrastructure housed within highly secure data centers and distributed regional instances. Sierra Wireless goes the extra mile to ensure that every device-to-cloud communication is encrypted, offering single-sign-on and multi-factor authentication options.
The Hybrid Cloud option further bolsters security by creating an additional layer of protection, isolating your operational network from the management network, and implementing on-premise signing for all cloud-triggered operations.
Is Your IT Infrastructure Prepared For Hybrid Cloud Integration?
If your organization has embraced a robust zero-trust security strategy and employs key-based or smartcard authentication mechanisms, then the Hybrid Cloud option presents an ideal choice. Hybrid Cloud seamlessly integrates with your existing PKI environment, enhancing your infrastructure's efficiency and security.
