Uplogix Introduces Optimized Console Management Solution
for the Solaris 10 Operating System
ATTAINS PRINCIPAL PARTNER STATUS IN THE SUN PARTNER ADVANTAGE
PROGRAM
LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Interop Las Vegas – May 21, 2007 –
Uplogix, the leading provider of next-generation out-of-band
management solutions, today announced the general availability
of version 3.2 of Envoy and the Envoy Management Station
(EMS), which together deliver an optimized console management
solution to support SolarisTM 10 Operating System (OS)
server platforms. Uplogix has achieved Principal Partner
status in the Sun Partner Advantage Program (SPA) by meeting
Sun's stringent criteria for excellence as a supplier
of out-of-band management solutions, and by committing
to tight strategic and technical alignment with Sun.
"We congratulate Uplogix for attaining Principal
Partner status and welcome them to this exclusive level
of the Sun Partner Advantage Program," said Amir
Raz, market segment manager, Sun Microsystems. "Uplogix’
management solutions for the Sun platform offer customers
a highly secure, highly reliable method for managing the
servers that power their business."
Many enterprises rely heavily on out-of-band management
(OBM) tools for remote access to, and management of Solaris
servers, as well as other critical IT infrastructure devices.
However, customers now have an unprecedented need for
sophisticated access and authorization controls to comply
with internal security and external compliance requirements,
which traditional OBM tools have failed to deliver. With
its 3.2 product release, Uplogix has addressed these security
and compliance challenges and has set a new standard for
the secure management of Solaris platforms by ensuring
that:
All client/server communication is encrypted and secure
using SSHv2 during both in-band and out-of-band communication.
Each user accessing a Solaris environment is properly
authorized and credentialed, providing both command-level
control and role-based permissions.
Every remote Solaris session is properly terminated to
prevent piggybacking and unauthorized access.
All console and user activity is logged, even during network
outages, and inspected in real-time. Alarms can be generated
and automated corrective actions can be taken based on
specific patterns in the log data.
Compliance reporting for Solaris sessions is complete
and easy to generate.
"Sun continues to be one of the leading innovators
in our industry and Solaris 10 OS is the platform of choice
for many of our customers," said Barry Cox, chief
technology officer, Uplogix. "For too long enterprise
customers have had to live with the limitations and security
vulnerabilities of console servers to remotely access
their IT infrastructure. Uplogix is changing the game
by offering highly optimized and robust security and management
functionality for the Solaris platform."
