Abstract
A cloud-based architecture includes a cloud-based network management system (NMS) that provides the management plane and one or more cloud-based NAC systems that provide NAC services, including end-point device authentication. The cloud-based NAC system may have multiple groups of authentication server instances. Each group may have multiple authentication server instances to allow the authentication service provided by the group to serve more client devices than a single authentication server instance alone. Different Groups can be configured differently to serve different tenant sets.
