Visibility, Control, Policy Management for Complete Application Performance Monitoring

Insite: The Backbone of Business-Smart Networks

Insite is the management and monitoring tool for the APSolute™ family of application delivery, access and security solutions. It permits the set-up, configuration and management of all Radware® products from one central console. As the central element for the entire APSolute™ product family, Insite provides immediate visibility to real-time APSolute OS Layer 3-7 health monitoring, session and deep-packet inspection information.

This provides for configuration and true performance management, along with advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities, as well as full visibility into your network’s security. 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. This is all done without depending on any specific middleware, software or custom code.

Insite is a java-based application that can take advantage of the portability of java language while providing the flexibility for you to choose your operating system – Linux or Windows.

Key Features and Benefits

Site Explorer: Intuitive Landscaped View

Site Explorer provides a consolidated landscape view and unique visual interface for point-and-click configuration and management of network resources. This allows network administrators configure, troubleshoot and audit operational status. By using icons for all APSolute switching devices and other network elements such as servers, routers and firewalls, networks can be easily defined. Within a shared, easy-to-understand visual context, administrators can Connect and configure devices by pointing and clicking Set up servers with all relevant parameters Configure farm settings quickly and effectively

Dashboards: Real-Time Traffic Data

Insite’s real-time dashboards expose a wealth of critical application networking traffic data collected by Radware switches. This enables the detection of trends, facilitates capacity planning and lets administrators proactively identify and deal with potential network and application performance bottlenecks.

Insite provides customizable real-time and historical application delivery performance metrics, so network managers can see, understand and audit application delivery operations across the entire network.

Performance Dashboard – Provides comprehensive application performance information for effective troubleshooting, trend analysis, forensics and resource planning	Security Dashboard – Provides real-time detailed information on attack attempts, including the type and severity of those attacks.

Wizards: Define Once, Apply Everywhere

APSolute’s Wizards Templates and Wizards provide step-by-step guides for configuring common application delivery solutions. Use them to easily configure all APSolute OS services.

Insite’s built-in configuration and management automation tools reduces the amount of effort, time and errors involved in performing these types of simple and complex configuration and maintenance tasks.

Define classes and flow policies for business-smart traffic management based on granular network, application, content and user information Set up both custom fit and predefined business-smart health checks to monitor the operation of any networked device; configure thresholds and criteria for application/user/content health Define traffic flows and paths across the network; create server farms, establish device redundancies and configure load-balancing algorithms Set up policy-based bandwidth management, including the definition of classes by application/user/content and the allocation of bandwidth resources for optimized, prioritized and guaranteed application delivery service levels Support centralized and granular configuration of intrusion prevention and Denial of Service (DoS) security checks and attack signature database management using Insite’s Connect and Protect table. Through an intuitive 3-step security set-up, quickly add new attack signatures, providing immediate protection at multiGigabit speeds. Select the appropriate operating system and web applications automatically to activate protection against attack signatures and vulnerabilities associated with the specified application environment

Macros

Use Insite Macros to record repetitive tasks once, reducing the need for error-prone scripts. Macros for repetitive tasks can be scheduled to occur automatically at predefined times with task scheduling and applied to all relevant devices. With macros, administrators can

• Set up and manage multiple devices of the same type, or a variety of different devices, in a single take
• Simplify deployment and minimize the pain of software updates
• Enables the seamless addition of new products
• Lower operational costs

Security

Insite includes “Connect & Protect,” a table that supports centralized and granular configuration of intrusion prevention and Denial of Service (DoS) security checks and attack signature database management. Through an intuitive 3-step security set-up, new attack signatures can quickly be added to provide immediate protection at multi-Gigabit speeds. Selecting the appropriate operating system and Web applications automatically activates protection against attack signatures and vulnerabilities associated with the specified application environment.
