It lets network administrators proactively monitor network activity and tune network behavior by quickly detecting, isolating and resolving problems before they impact user and business productivity. These capabilities do not rely on any specific middleware, software or custom code.

Cross Data Center Business Continuity Visibility

APSolute Vision consolidates the monitoring and configuration of several Radware devices across multiple data centers, eliminating the need for deploying management appliances in multiple data centers and therefore simplifying data center management.

It continuously monitors and alerts to any degradation of business continuity or performance of the entire infrastructure, providing:

• Up-to-date information
• Improved service business continuity
• Minimized impact of service downtime on the enterprise's business

Unified Application Delivery and Security Management

APSolute Vision is a unified management and monitoring application, specifically tailored for application delivery and network security devices. It supports all aspects of management: initial device setup, ongoing maintenance, SSL certifi cate management, reporting, forensics, and more. It also provides central storage of vital device information, allowing IT managers to easily find hardware platform details, software versions, serial numbers, etc. This eliminates manual tracking of critical device information, and reduces errors.

It supports all aspects of management:

• Initial device setup
• Ongoing maintenance
• SSL certificate management
• Reporting and forensics
• Central storage of vital device information
• And more.

Best-of-breed Reporting and Forensics Engine

APSolute Vision provides an enterprise-wide view of security and attack statuses from a single console. Data from multiple devices can be collected and evaluated in a consolidated view of dashboards and reports.

In addition, it provides extensive yet simple drill-down capabilities that allow users to easily mine information in order to expedite incident identification and provide root cause analysis.

Complete Alignment with Enterprise Compliance Requirements and Regulations

APSolute Vision provides complete alignment with the enterprise's compliance, regulations and business processes, providing compliance and audit professionals with a complete picture of compliance across the enterprise. It ensures the appropriate separation of duties, collection of information, configuration, and operation auditing mandated by business processes, regulations and information security standards (PCI-DSS, SOX, HIPAA, etc).

Through enhanced role-based access and logging capabilities, APSolute Vision ensures all actions across the application delivery and security infrastructure, are logged and performed only by authorized personnel.

In addition, APSolute Vision segregates statistical and performance data to support job-specifi c views, dashboards, analysis, and reporting. While executives may desire to view high-level summary reports, IT professionals can easily drill into more complex monitoring, reporting and forensics data.

Tight Integration with Enterprise Data Center NMS

APSolute Vision is designed to tightly integrate with the enterprise data center's network operation centers (NOC) and the network management systems (NMS) used by the NOC operators. Providing NOC operators with a single site-wide monitoring and alerting view of all managed devices and applications, APSolute Vision automatically sends notifications (syslog, email, etc) to the NOC's NMS application. This ensures network operators are immediately aware of any problems, and reduces the time to resolution.

Full Alert Lifecycle Management

APSolute Vision provides IT managers with a rich set of tools to manage all the alerts (availability, performance, security, and more) within their infrastructure. Alerts are managed from the moment they surface (identification stage), through ticket opening, analysis, resolution, and verification until the problem is resolved and summarized. This ensures complete alignment with the business processes of both the enterprise and NOC/SOC teams.
