Edgecore Networks and Tanaza

Milan, Italy – Tanaza, a leading provider of cloud-based wireless management software, and Edgecore Networks, a leading provider of traditional and open network solutions for enterprises, data centers, and telecommunication service providers, are excited to announce a strategic partnership to provide MSPs and IT professionals with powerful, integrated solutions for wireless networking.

Under this partnership, Tanaza will support Edgecore hardware with its software and Edgecore will make its products available through its distribution partners as Tanaza Powered. This means that they will connect to the Tanaza cloud platform out-of-the-box.

Adopting Tanaza Powered Edgecore APs offers several advantages for MSPs and IT professionals, including:

  • Simplified management: With Tanaza’s cloud-based platform, MSPs and IT professionals can easily and efficiently manage and monitor their customers’ Wi-Fi networks from one place
  • Cost-effective solution, with enterprise-grade hardware: The combination of Edgecore’s robust equipment and the Tanaza platform allows customers to easily scale their networks from small & simple deployments to demanding high-density scenarios
  • Flexible and scalable: Tanaza offers a cost-effective comprehensive feature-set to providers of managed Wi-Fi services. And it can be extended with additional features to meet specific customer requirements, thanks to add-ons and 3rd party integrations in a continuously expanding marketplace
  • Free for small deployments: Under the Tanaza Basic plan, it’s possible to set up a network of up to three APs and keep it operational with no time limit. This means that this first (small) customer could even be managed with Tanaza completely free-of-charge

In addition to this partnership, Edgecore distributor STORDIS (operating from Germany and serving all EMEA), will provide Edgecore EAP102-T Wi-Fi6 devices to selected MSPs. This will allow MSPs to experience firsthand the benefits of the hardware/software combination enabled by this partnership.

By making our products able to connect to the Tanaza cloud platform out-of-the-box, we are able to deliver a compelling hardware/software solution that is extremely easy-to-use and that provides the flexibility to be extended virtually with no limits”.

“We have been waiting for disaggregation in the wireless space to arrive for a long time and to be able to support two strong partners like Edgecore Networks – who are the leaders in Open Networking, and Tanaza – with their Enterprise Cloud platform, is really exciting for us! Open networking is in our DNA and now our line-up is further expanded with the addition of these OpenWIFI value options.” said Lukasz Lukowski, CSMO of STORDIS.
