Mobile Versions for Key Industries
The introduction of mobile versions is strategically targeted at finance, retail, and education applications. Notably, a luxury fashion retailer is collaborating with Cloudbrink on an innovative in-store point-of-sale (PoS) system. The application connects sales associates’ iPads directly to the company’s data center, providing real-time PoS, sales tracking, inventory management, and training applications.
Prakash Mana, CEO of Cloudbrink, highlighted the challenges faced by express retailers and emphasized the efficiency of Cloudbrink’s solution, stating, “Legacy VPN is frustrating for staff and customers, and when systems go down, it could mean long delays while the store waits for an offsite engineer. The SD-WAN route typically involves an over-spec’d branch appliance. You don’t need any of this hardware with Cloudbrink.”
Targeting Financial Services and Education
Cloudbrink is actively reaching out to financial services firms, offering secure network access to mobile sales agents dealing with confidential client data. Additionally, the company is addressing network reliability issues faced by schools and colleges, particularly with students using Chromebook devices both at home and in the classroom.
The Cloudbrink service leverages a global network of FAST edges (virtual points of presence), deployable on-demand using cloud provider and telco infrastructure. This architecture connects users to the nearest network edge, overcoming Wi-Fi access and consumer-grade broadband challenges.
Seamless Configuration and Performance Optimization
Cloudbrink’s lightweight client app manages network access, routing, and security. The app is configured with three edge connections by default, automatically switching between them to optimize performance. Installation and configuration, which can be managed either by Cloudbrink or the customer’s IT department, is now a streamlined process taking under five minutes.
