Cloud computing has redefined the way we do business.
Many businesses have already put their office applications, like email and customer relationship management systems, into the cloud - so why not hardware infrastructure too? There are lots of reasons for this, from reducing costs and expenses to increasing flexibility, scalability, efficiency and redundancy.

Nebula simplifies your business infrastructure and offers simple, intuitive and scalable management for networks of all sizes.

License
The Zyxel Nebula Control Center (NCC) automatically adjusts the expiration dates of all licenses to expire on the same date (co-termination date). When an organization purchases additional licenses for hardware, the terms between the existing license and the new license will be adjusted; all the licenses will be re-calculated for the remaining time to terminate on the same date so that each organization will have only one single license renewal date. Please note that the usage of the Zyxel Nebula Service is subject to the terms of License Co-termination.
Every Nebula Security Gateway is pre-bundled with one-year IDP and Application Patrol Nebula Security Service license (NSS-IDP). The NSS-IDP license needs to be purchased on top of the NCC service license; if there are more than one NSG in an organization, the NSS licenses will also be co-terminated but will be separated from the NCC service license.
To reduce upfront operating costs, one-year Nebula Control Center (NCC) service license is bundled with devices. Afterward, users can renew the license with Nebula Points. The points can be shared among different types of devices and models, which reduces the license SKUs and keys and provides simpler license renewal.
| Type | # of Nebula Points for 1 Yr NCC service |
|---|---|
| Access Point | 30 |
| Switch | 35 |
| Gateway | 50 |
