MSP-Centric WiFi
Datto WiFi’s cloud-managed wireless access point features include:
- Born in the Cloud. MSP-Centric WiFi begins in the cloud. For Datto Networking, it begins in the Datto Partner Portal where our access points get all of their configurations. Then, just plug in the APs and they work. With configurations set and stored in the same portal used to manage all Datto devices, an MSP can deploy WiFi networks in minutes. Simple, rapid deployment born in the cloud.
- MSP Aligned. Datto Networking has one customer, the managed services provider. Because of this, we focus all of our efforts on aligning with the MSP business model. From simple deployments and management to native RMM and PSA integrations to monthly service pricing, Datto Networking was purpose-built for MSPs, eliminating the problem of force fitting networking into their business model. It’s not just features. It’s everything about Datto Networking that is MSP Aligned.
- Auto-Optimized. WiFi works best when it utilizes smart technology to self tune for better performance. That’s why Datto Networking access points include several auto-optimizations designed to continually fine tune for a better WiFi experience. Whether it’s automatic self healing mesh, auto-channel scanning to minimize interference or automatic firmware management and updates from the cloud, Datto WiFi is committed to delivering the best MSP-Centric WiFi experience possible.
- Just-Plug-It-In Install. To install Datto Networking access points, it’s a matter of just plugging in the devices. That’s because all Datto APs get their configuration from the cloud. Set up the configuration once, then plug in the AP. It really is that simple. There is nothing to install on site. And there are no local cloud instances that need to be spinned up just to manage the WiFi. Set everything up once in the cloud, then just-plug-itin. What could more MSP-Centric than that?
- Smarter MSP Networking. Being purpose-built for the MSP, everything about Datto Networking aligns with how an MSP operates. From ordering devices to just-plug-it-in installations and cloudbased configurations and management, Datto WiFi is smarter MSP Networking.

President / Network Architect
Mark Kolean always had a fascination with technology from the time he was 3 and his gift of the Atari 2600 to current. In 1990 at the age of 14 Mark got his first job in customer support for a mail order business supporting Tandy TSR-80 computer software shipped on cassette tape. A few years later Mark was building hundreds of 286, 386, and 486 computers for the new emerging DOS & Windows 3.1 computers that had exploded on the market.
After a college career studying business and technology Mark Started Shoreline Computer Systems in 1999 at the height of the dot.com boom with the looming crisis of the year2k bug just around the corner. In the early 2000’s a lot of work was done with early network systems including Lantastic, Novell, and Windows NT Server. Mark became a community contributor to the Small Business Specialist community that revolved around Small Business Server 2000-2011 which focused on single or dual server environments for businesses up to 50 in size. Networks during this time frame mostly had a break fix relationship in which work was billed only when a problem occurred.
In the 2010’s Microsoft released their first cloud based software called Microsoft BPOS which would in later become known as Microsoft Office 365. This introduced a new model in technology with pay as you go subscription services. Starting in 2013 Mark’s team at Shoreline Computer System rebranded as Shoreline Technology Solutions to focus on the transition to become proactive and less reactive to data backup and security needs. Starting in 2018 all customers are required to have a backup management plan in place as a center point with the full understanding that if STS isn’t watching the customer’s data, then no one is.
Now in Mark’s 22 years of business he is building a company emphasis of how to help customers retire servers and build networks completely in the cloud.
