# On-premises Management With Cloud Capability

## <mark style="color:blue;">Overview</mark>

EnGenius Private Cloud (EPC) is an on-premises network management solution that combines local control with optional cloud integration.

Designed to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes—from neighborhood shops to enterprise IT teams—EPC delivers advanced features and scalability without compromising data sovereignty.

By keeping network telemetry and configurations on your own server and syncing only when you choose, EPC offers the flexibility of the cloud with the security and customization of an in-house solution.<br>

## <mark style="color:blue;">Highlights</mark>

* **Easy Deployment** — A guided Windows installer enables non-technical users to install EPC in minutes. For organizations with established DevOps practices, a Docker option ensures consistent, containerized deployments.
* **Designed for All Users** — EPC is built for businesses of every size. A clear web interface allows anyone—from small store owners to seasoned IT administrators—to manage networks without specialized training. Intuitive dashboards, charts, and real-time alerts make network management effortless.
* **Free Baseline Features** — EPC’s core capabilities, including device monitoring, configuration, and basic security via an intuitive graphical interface, are available at no upfront cost—helping small businesses and startups manage networks effectively and affordably.
* **Data Sovereignty** — All network data stays on-site. EPC communicates with EnGenius Cloud only for license synchronization and firmware updates, ensuring privacy and regulatory compliance.
* **Scalable** — A single EPC server can manage up to 3,000 devices, supporting multiple organizations or departments within one platform. As your network grows, EPC grows with you.
* **Broad Product Support** — EPC supports a wide range of EnGenius wireless access points and switches, with backward compatibility for previous-generation devices.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://doc.engenius.ai/home-epc-datasheet/on-premises-management-with-cloud-capability.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
