Secure Management

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

The Uplogix Automated Remote Management (ARM) platform 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 collocated Uplogix appliances integrate 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. 

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

The platform 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 Automated Remote Management.

Having constant, secure access and control over our distributed IT infrastructure through Uplogix gives us a sense of comfort and confidence knowing we’re saving thousands of dollars in support costs, improving network availability and ensuring high quality of service to our customers.”
