Secure Management

Stringent AAA support + enforcement of all security & management policies at all times

Envoy sets a new standard for secure management when it comes to out-of-band technology.  Our next-generation appliances operate on a secure management platform that supports the industry’s most stringent AAA requirements and ensures that security and management policies are always enforced, even during a network outage.  You won’t find that in traditional console servers or KVM switches.

Under normal circumstances, the Envoy integrates with remote authentication mechanisms, such as TACACS and Radius, but if connectivity is lost, the appliances rely on cached authentication data to maintain authorized access even during downtime. 

Envoy eliminates further security concerns by using Secure Shell Version 2 (SSHv2), which leverages powerful encryption technologies to protect data in transit. Envoy appliances also prevent unauthorized user access by automatically closing idle console sessions, eliminating another important security gap.

Envoy can even be setup to accommodate additional security precautions, such as restricting access to specific IP addresses and encrypting passwords stored in the database.  Now that’s secure remote management.
