Astaro Command Center released!

Today we shipped Astaro Command Center V1.

Astaro Command Center V1 allows for centralized and efficient management of many challenging and time-consuming tasks, such as defining security policies, configuring applications, monitoring actual device states, and the updating of device software.

The intuitive web-based user interface provides an effective overview detailing the actual health of each device, swiftly allowing administrators to see which gateways require immediate action. A new user interface leverages state-of-the-art technologies like AJAX, (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) which immediately displays any changes in data without additional delays resulting from screen refreshes. This results in significantly improved ease of use when managing multiple Astaro Security Gateways.


Astaro Command Center V1 includes the following management applications:


* Monitoring allows tracking of critical system parameters in real-time, like detected threats, license status, software updates and resource usage. Various view options provide up-to-date information of all Astaro systems within a complete network infrastructure.

* A World Map allows easy localization of a specific device within a large global network. A zoom function allows navigation to specific regions of interest.

* Inventory management provides comprehensive information about each device such as CPU, hard disk, memory, network interfaces, and software version, among others. All Astaro Security Gateway devices are automatically organized into device groups.

* Central update management enables the possibility of updating multiple devices through a single click. The progress of each device is displayed centrally.

* System maintenance for connected gateways offers centralized system shutdowns and restarts.

* Single-sign-on eases configuration management via centralized login to each device's WebAdmin, the browser based administrative interface for Astaro Security Gateways. Thus, administrators have to login only once into ACC to access any firewall within the network.

* Role-based Multi-administrative support allows the definition of administrators with different roles for using different management functions within Astaro Command Center concurrently.
