Review1: Cloud-Based Network Management

Hello folks, my name is Benediktus Giovanito Antaputra (typically known as Ivan) and today we will be discussing a video created by the YouTuber 'Eli the Computer Guy' entitled 'Cloud Based Network Management Introduction'. This is the URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWXHBEH_U-o . The video itself is 57 minutes and 22 seconds long, published on November 13, 2014. This video is specifically created for beginners trying to rely on the cloud as a means of managing and operating their networking equipment.

Cloud-based network management enables users to interact with the cloud servers so that the necessary configurations for their network equipment can be set up automatically instead of manually. Therefore, instead of using the CLI, they can manage networking equipment on a more user-friendly GUI. Eli also warns interested users to choose their cloud networking service provider carefully, as some will charge extra for various reasons. He explains that the cloud networking equipment itself is straightforward to operate, provided the user can supply the equipment’s necessities.  Another benefit of cloud network that he mentioned was the presence of log files which record the number of clients using a device, time of usage, number of data uploaded/downloaded to/from a website, etc. The rest of the video is filled with his recommendations of various cloud providers and his sponsors.

Having watched several of Eli's videos, I can say that the videos Eli has made tend to thoroughly explore the concepts that he is discussing, this video not being an exception. Eli has successfully explained the benefits of utilizing the cloud as a method of managing networking equipment. Not only that, he also provides users with his advice concerning choosing the right cloud service provider in terms of additional fees and functionality, sharing invaluable experience to his viewers. Through his detailed recounts of previous experiences we are assured that Eli is, at the very least, experienced in the IT field, giving the video more credibility.
