Expressly built to administer large-scale, multi-customer/multi-site networks, Security Management Server (SMS) offers low-cost, carrier-grade IP services management. When paired with the VPN Firewall Brick family and Lucent IPSec Client software, the reliable and scalable SMS lets you rapidly provision and manage security, VPN, and QoS services for thousands of users from a single console. It offers firewall, VPN, QoS, VLAN, and virtual firewall policy management, robust monitoring, and flexible deployment options without costly additional modules or recurring license fees.
The scalable and reliable Security Management Server (SMS) platform offers comprehensive remote management and flexible deployment options.
Carrier-grade scalability, reliability and security
- Platform scales to support 20,000 VPN Firewall Brick� devices and 500,000 VPN users from one SMS console, and accommodates up to 100 simultaneous administrators.
- Reliability features include native high-availability architecture with no single point of failure and the ability to distribute the platform across multiple network operations centers (NOCs) for active/active network redundancy.
- The software has no advisories or reported vulnerabilities at this time.
- Robust VPN authentication features include Internal Key Exchange (IKE), Advanced Encryption Standards (AES), Department of Defense (DOD) Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), X.509 Digital Certificates, and a built-in internal database of 10,000 users.
Comprehensive, completely secure remote management
- Fully integrates firewall, VPN, QoS, VLAN and virtual firewall capabilities.
- Policies are established centrally, automatically downloaded network-wide, and controlled at global, customer, device, interface, VLAN, and IP address range levels, with individual users' security profiles automatically downloaded at user log-in.
- Role-based administration distributes management across dozens of simultaneous local and remote administrators.
- Flexible, group-based management model enables you to manage multiple devices, security policies, VPN tunnels, and user authentication components as one entity.
- Support for up to 500,000 simultaneous IPSec Client tunnels and hundreds of thousands of users from a single console provides carrier-grade scalability.
- Real-time monitoring, robust logging, customized reporting, and high-speed content security that works with third-party products to provide URL blocking and virus scanning round out the security features.
Cost-efficient, flexible deployment options
- There are multiple IP services deployment options, including premises-based, network-based, tiered, and data-center architectures.
- Secure remote management eliminates the need for network reconfigurations, truck-rolls, and on-site support.
- VLAN, virtual firewall, and QoS support is included at no extra charge.
- Management efficiencies cut staffing and administrative expenses.
- Simple, economical licensing model requires neither ongoing license fees nor add-ons to provide complete security management.
- Cost-saving growth path allows you to easily migrate from basic to advanced security, VPN, and QoS services.
