Services Overview
Mango Cloud is composed of a set of cooperating services that together provide centralized management for OpenLAN network infrastructure. Each service performs a specific function within the platform, enabling scalable device management, network monitoring, and operational control. These services work together to support device provisioning, configuration management, telemetry processing, analytics, and user access across residential, enterprise, hospitality, and future MDU deployments.
Gateway Service
The Gateway Service manages communication between Mango Cloud and OpenLAN Gateway devices. It handles device registration, operational messaging, configuration delivery, and command execution for gateways deployed in the network. This service ensures that gateways remain synchronized with the configuration policies defined in the cloud platform.
Firmware Service
The Firmware Service manages firmware images for supported OpenLAN devices. It allows operators to upload, store, and distribute firmware updates to gateways, switches, and access points. The service coordinates firmware lifecycle operations including version tracking, upgrade scheduling, and deployment across device fleets.
Provisioning Service
The Provisioning Service manages device onboarding and network hierarchy within the Mango Cloud platform. It enables operators to register devices, organize them into logical structures such as organizations, sites, or locations, and assign configuration policies during the onboarding process. This service provides the foundation for large-scale device management across distributed deployments.
Provisioning UI
The Provisioning UI provides a web interface for device onboarding and network hierarchy management. Through this interface, administrators can register new devices, organize them within deployment structures, and manage provisioning workflows. It simplifies the operational process of bringing new infrastructure into the Mango Cloud environment.
Gateway UI
The Gateway UI provides a management interface specifically focused on gateway operations. Administrators can view gateway status, manage configuration settings, monitor operational data, and perform administrative actions related to gateway devices.
Kafka Messaging Service
Kafka acts as the messaging backbone of Mango Cloud. It enables reliable, asynchronous communication between platform services and supports the flow of operational events and telemetry data throughout the system. By decoupling services through messaging, Kafka allows the platform to scale efficiently while maintaining system resilience.
Topology Service
The Topology Service maintains a representation of the network structure and relationships between managed devices. It helps visualize how gateways, switches, and access points are connected within the network infrastructure. This information supports network monitoring, troubleshooting, and operational visibility.
Analytics Service
The Analytics Service processes telemetry and operational data collected from managed devices. It enables analysis of network performance, device health, and operational trends across deployments. The service helps operators gain insights into network behavior and supports data- driven decision making.
User Portal Service
The User Portal Service provides an interface for end users or tenants to access network services managed by Mango Cloud. Depending on the deployment model, it can be used for authentication, network access management, or user-facing service interactions. This service is particularly relevant in hospitality, enterprise, and future MDU environments where end-user access management is required.
Security Service
The Security Service manages authentication, authorization, and access control across the Mango Cloud platform. It ensures that only authorized users and services can access platform resources and perform management actions. The service enforces security policies and protects the integrity of the management platform.
