Save Time and Money
When deploying security products across a corporation, administrators don't always think about the residual costs associated with deployment. This is sometimes referred to as the Total Cost of Ownership and is a factor that can make or break an IT department. Through the use of NetMaster's Centralized Security Management (CSM) Console, you can centrally configure, monitor and maintain your entire security network infrastructure that is deployed with Netmaster embedded product.

Simple and Fast Deployment
CSM combines powerful network diagnostic utilities with custom analytical configuration tools to build an Intelligence Engine to aid in the configuration and deployment of policies on security appliances. CSM augments this by applying the engine's intelligence to the user interface to make the user experience easier and helps to minimize configuration errors when constructing policies for security appliances. From the initial auto-sensing configuration protocols that allow a user to set up a new device within minutes, to the network subnet calculation utility, CSM sets a new standard in centralized security management with unprecedented ease of use.

Monitoring
Through the use of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) you can easily get a view of your defensive posture in an instant. You can use tools like CSM or HP OpenView to easily query the performance statististics and state of any device on the network or zoom in to get detailed information in an instant.

You can query the built in internal status web server to view the state of individual services running on your devices and can even be alerted with customized event traps that can trigger actions based on intrusion attempts, resource exhaustion or even get fine grained control to know if a user is abusing your network bandwidth.

Bandwidth Accounting
The Internet has exposed business to more opportunities, but has also exposed business to lost productivity. Employees can check their stocks, watch the latest movie trailers, do personal shopping and banking and check their personal mail during work hours. Track such patterns and account for them with NetMaster's built in bandwidth accounting. Know what your people are doing, and how your network is being utilized so you can address the issue before it becomes a problem.

Bandwidth Shaping
Once you begin to record the bandwidth usage with bandwidth accounting, you can then rectify network congestion and even abuse by throttling critical bandwidth of your network. Don't want employees to watch that latest Quicktime movie trailer during work hours? You ok with it during lunch? No problem. With NetMaster's bandwidth shaping technology built into every security device, you can effectively shape the bandwidth utilization to what you want, and what your business needs. Get the most out of your Internet access with effective time based control of your bandwidth resources.
