Cloud Demo

Cloud Demo lets you test R80 security management features without the need to deploy a Security Management Server.

When you start a new Demo:

• A new exclusive Demo server is created and assigned to you.
• The new Demo server is identified by a Demo ID.
• The Demo ID lets you join an existing Demo at a later time.
• The Demo ID supports multiple users.
• Demo servers are time-limited. After the time period expires, the server is discarded.
• Internet connectivity is required.
