| Automation |
Facilitates creation of rules to monitor device state and defines actions for Uplogix ARM appliances to perform routine administrative tasks such as maintenance, configuration and recovery |
| Alarms and Events |
Collects device alarms and events from Uplogix ARM appliances and displays for administrators. Sends alert messages to users based on the policy. |
| Authentication |
Manages usernames, passwords, and account details for all Uplogix appliances. Deploys AAA settings to all Uplogix appliances to maintain a single security policy. |
| Authorization |
Manages granular access control at individual appliance or group levels |
| Security Policies |
Logs and archives Control Center user sessions for review. Archives Uplogix appliance session logs for auditing purposes. |
| Integration |
Sends alarms and events to other management systems as if they came from the managed device itself causing minimal disruption to the existing infrastructure. Sends alert messages to users based on subscription to specific devices, interfaces, or Uplogix appliances. |
