Bradford Networks Releases Network Control Manager
New Management Appliance Simplifies Managing Multiple Network Control Severs
In a Large Enterprise Network
Concord, N.H. – November
9, 2005 – 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.
