Uplogix Solutions for Federal Networks

 

Automated control and secure access for your network infrastructure

Uplogix improves traditional network management and picks up where others fail, resulting in increased uptime, reduced support costs and tighter security. Uplogix provides a secure local management platform to automate network management by integrating the enterprise at the device level, automating response management, and delivering it all on a highly secure platform.

 

FIPS 140-2 Certified

The Uplogix platform is validated to FIPS 140-2 (Certificate #1675). Read more about the RMOS v4.3 release.

The Uplogix Control Center utilizes the SafeNet Luna PCI-e cryptographic module which is validated to FIPS 140-2.

Integration of the enterprise at the device level

Army Network AdminWhat makes Uplogix unique in its effectiveness is the patented concept of managing devices through a collocated intelligent platform. The Uplogix directly connects to up to 32 devices each (routers, switches, servers, and more) over a console connection. The benefits of local management are:

  • Using the command line interface -- not network-dependent SNMP polling like traditional management technologies -- Uplogix can communicate to end devices directly, continuously and without taxing the device or the network.
  • One of the biggest challenges of traditional device management is communicating with disparate devices from different manufacturers. Uplogix provides a unified CLI framework and a wide range of "native" functionality for any connected device. In addition, there are advanced drivers for enhanced automation for some of the most common networking and communications vendors like Cisco, HP, Juniper, iDirect, Sea Tel and Comtech.
  • Monitors and rules running on the platform identify activities such as configuration changes, changes in device status, or even hardware failures.
  • System alarms, events and device performance data can be forwarded to NMS systems from the Uplogix Control Center via SNMP messages that appear as if they came from the managed device itself. Additionally, syslog messages can be sent in real-time to an NMS system or syslog server for consolidation, auditing and analysis purposes.

 

Sophisticated automation through local management

The patent for the Uplogix solution for network management is based on Uplogix using the CLI to enter commands on a device and read the device's output. Based on this output Uplogix makes intelligent decisions and take actions. Here are some examples:

  • Uplogix can tell when an interface has gone into a negative state and take actions based on preset rules. An admin makes a routine change to a device that caused an outage. Uplogix will detect the problem and can immediately roll the device back to the last known good configuration using its unique SurgicalRollback™ feature— an automated safety net to recover from configuration errors.
  • Combined with a managed power unit, Uplogix can power cycle a server, break into the reboot sequence at just the precise moment, and restore the last known good configuration file for the device—all within seconds and without ever having to dispatch a support technician on-site.
  • Since the Uplogix platform deploys alongside the gear it manages, Uplogix is in a position to evaluate a variety of service level metrics from a local perspective instead of the network-based view of traditional service level management. Metrics gathered are fed into the platforms’s rules-based engine so that corrective actions can be automatically taken to proactively manage and improve service levels.

 

A highly-secure platform

Utilizing existing TACACS+, RADIUS, LDAP, PKI, or RSA solutions, Uplogix can broker access to all devices (both console and IP) through the security solution of your choice. This functionality is available both in- and out-of-band. Uplogix also has additional security features:

  • Granular authorization allows access to be broken into groups, with members only able to see devices they have proper credentials for. Roles and responsibilities can be broken down by user, device, location and more. Beyond device restrictions, Uplogix can also limit the functions a user is able to implement (for example, the copy to USB drive command).
  • All user interactions are logged at the keystroke and device response level, providing a complete forensics trail.
