Create and Manage Additional WPCs Using the Same Account

Abstract

Create and manage multiple independent CloudConnexa WPCs from a single OpenVPN account — add new WPCs for separate departments, use cases, or managed service provider customer environments.

Overview

Use your CloudConnexa account to create and manage multiple independent Wide-area Private Clouds (WPCs). Each WPC has its own Cloud ID and configuration, allowing you to manage separate environments for departments, customers, or different use cases.

For example, a managed service provider (MSP) can use one account to manage separate WPCs for different customers.

You can create an additional WPC by purchasing or adding a subscription from My Subscriptions, or by selecting Add Cloud ID from the Cloud ID menu in the Administration portal.

Important

You can't change a Cloud ID after the WPC is created. Verify the Cloud ID before creating your WPC.

You can create additional WPCs:

To manage the various WPCs from the same account, use the Switch Cloud ID menu and select the Cloud ID of the WPC you want to manage from the list. The portal will switch and show the management interface for the selected WPC.
