New Management Appliance Simplifies Managing Multiple Network Control Severs In a Large Enterprise Network
Concord, N.H. – Bradford Networks, developer of Security and Policy Enforcement Solutions for Enterprise Networks, today announced the addition of a new appliance in its Network Sentry lineup. The Network Control Manager will simplify the task of managing multiple Network Control Servers, acting as a central management node in the network. This new device will allow customers to easily take advantage of Bradford Campus Manager’s innovative features and benefits across their entire network.
The Network Control Manager is designed for customer configurations that consist of two or more Network Control Servers. The friendly web-based interface provides an easy-to-use interactive management console, allowing enterprise-wide communication to multiple Network Control Servers from one central device. Rather than having to access each Network Control Server separately in search of a user or other data points, now the administrator can search and manage from one centralized console through the Network Control Manager.
“As the average size of a network in which Bradford Campus Manager is deployed into continues to increase, the need for the Network Control Manager has become strategically important,” said Mike Gadoury, Founder and CEO of Bradford Networks. “Most of our larger customers will use this new product to leverage the features of Bradford Campus Manager across their entire enterprise network.”
Some of the key features of this product are:
- Global User Identity Database – data points are maintained on each user accessing the entire enterprise-wide or campus network
- Scalability – the ability to manage an unlimited number of Network Control Servers, all from a single location
- Global Find – the ability to quickly locate a user anywhere in the network, down to the MAC address, location, and even the port the user is connected
- Seamless Network-wide Registration – users register once within the network and then can move freely to other managed domains, while still being tracked in the enterprise identity database
- Global Version Control – the ability to easily manage revision control on all Bradford Campus Manager products within the entire network, all from a single management device
The Network Sentry 550, Network Control Manager, will be available within 30 days.
