Domain Controller

Built-in Active Directory™-compatible domain controller — serverless, cloud-managed, and recovered automatically from disasters.

Domain controller and cloud management

Small businesses that require centralized authentication and policy management often find this to be quite expensive. On-premises Active Directory servers require a substantial hardware platform, and come with onerous licensing overhead. Cloud-based (Azure) Active Directory is principally intended for single-sign-on to cloud applications, and does not satisfy the policy management needs of different regulatory environments.

The Uplevel gateway solves this by integrating a complete on-premises Active Directory compatible Domain Controller into the gateways. The domain controller is backed up with significant cloud intelligence to greatly simplify configuration and management.
