4. Centralization of wireless networks
management
Thanks to Tanaza, managing wireless networks and
ensuring high-quality services to customers is a child’s
play.
Tanaza allows network administrators to remote provision
and configure multi-vendor networks.
No more fragmented wireless assurance tools: network
administrators will be able to consolidate their networking
infrastructure monitoring, using one single centralized
dashboard, and receive automated alerts in case of
problems.
The Cloud Dashboard is accessible from anywhere from
any device – your smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer.

5. BYOD - Bring Your Own Device
Digital enterprises and companies are increasingly allowing employees to use their
personal devices at work, but BYOD policies are not easy to implement and devices
can easily get out of control.
Tanaza couponing system allows creating temporary and permanent credentials for
internet access, so that each employee has their own password to access the
network. In the picture, you see three types of coupon created:
● The green WiFi voucher, valid for 1 year for up to three devices,
Will be given to employees.
● The purple WiFi voucher, valid for 30 days for up to three devices,
will be given to temporary workers/freelancers/consultants.
● The red WiFi voucher, valid for 1 day, will be given to guests
The network administrator can easily invalidate existing coupons to deny further
access to unwanted clients. When a voucher is deactivated, access to the internet
will be automatically prohibited to any device using that voucher to connect.

6. Security
In enterprises environments, you will probably have many
users and devices connecting to your wireless networks:
employees, guests, but also printers, shared laptops, smart
TVs, etc. Thanks to Tanaza, you can easily isolate WLAN
clients between each other and also isolate them from LAN
resources.
For example, guests should not be able to see the printers
in the building in the network resources. Given that
employees use critical applications and business services
and companies implement policies for work in mobility,
security is a primary concern for all network administrators.
Tanaza has created a secure cloud infrastructure that
separates instances of each customer, and isolates the
access points’ management traffic and connection to the
cloud from the clients’ traffic, as well.

7. Krack patch and intrusion detection
Tanaza is at the forefront in providing security updates for
all its devices promptly. For example, the patch for the
WPA2 breach known as “Krack” was released in less than
24 hours from the hack’s discovery, allowing all Tanaza
firmware users to secure the wireless connection of all
their clients connecting to the wireless LAN in no time.
IoT initiatives launched by enterprises pose unprecedented
security issues to wireless networks.
Tanaza is creating tools to solve this problem, including the
newly released Rogue Access Point detection system,
which allows identifying devices broadcasting and SSID
named as yours, trying to steal your clients’ data and in the
worst cases, to sniff their traffic. Tanaza allows you to
detect and analyze these WiFi faults and problems.

8. Improving the network performance
Network administrators need to deliver coverage and
performance, ensuring to their users WLAN health and
performance.
Tanaza provides tools to improve your network
performance, such as the automated channel selection to
avoid interference.
You can use Tanaza to scan beacons around your Access
points and choose the channel accordingly. Also, you can
let Tanaza do the job on your behalf and select
automatically the channel with less interference any time
the device reboots.
Reboots can be done manually through a command in the
cloud interface, and they can also be scheduled so they
happen during the night, without service outages for users
and applications.

9. Real-time monitoring and alerts
Tanaza’s intuitive monitoring tool also allows you to check
in real-time the quality of the signal for each connected
client, so that you can identify coverage and interference
problems within your network in no time.
Furthermore, other data is also available through APIs, so
that you can build your own alerting system and
troubleshoot the network before problems are noticed by
other people.
Tanaza allows you to be proactive in building a reliable and
solid network, even if you’re using low cost devices. For
example, you might create your own web service which
sends you push notifications on your phone when an
access points has more than 20 people connected, or when
an access point has excessive load, etc.

10. Unlimited networks scalability…
With wirelessly-connected devices increasing at a rapid rate, and mobile devices
becoming the most used ones to connect to the internet and work, WLAN is
expected to transmit most of the internet traffic in the future.
The application layer, providing guest authentication, WiFi location-tracking
services, and many other services, should run on a reliable networking
infrastructure.
However, the costs of creating it are usually very high. We understand that the
increasing expectations of users conflict with the lack of budget and resources
troubling network administrators.
Users have very low tolerance for problems and performance issue, and solutions
prices increase each year. Also, most solutions in the market lock you to a
vendor’s brand, therefore preventing you from switching to another provider.
Tanaza provides a multi-vendor software that runs on top of low-cost to high-end
access points, allowing any business, from SMBs to large enterprises, to benefit
from a reliable networking infrastructure.

11. … and reduced costs
Businesses using Tanaza reduce their CAPEX and are free to switch from
one vendor to another, with no switching costs, when they need to.
Furthermore, Tanaza’s management and monitoring platform works in the
exact same way with all devices, stores the device configuration in the
cloud for quick replacement of access points, is offered with a
pay-as-you-go formula and is affordable for businesses of any size.
Tanaza reduces OPEX and provides the flexibility you need in your
fast-paced role. Tanaza offers unlimited scalability in the number of
access points and immediate provisioning and deployment.
You will not need hardware controllers anymore, as the controlling layer
will be in the cloud. Tanaza Cloud grows with your business and its
features and compatibility list are continuously improving.
