Discover Next Generation Satellite Management
Uplogix offers a new approach to reducing the cost and
complexity of supporting satellite network environments.
Envoy NRM from Uplogix is an out-of-band management appliance
that enables operators to remotely manage, monitor, and
control both satellite and terrestrial-based network equipment.
The Envoy NRM co-locates and connects serially with network
and satellite communications equipment to provide non-stop
local management and control.
RigNet provides broadband voice and video networks to
offshore rigs and remote locations for drilling and production
operations. They selected Uplogix' Envoy NRM to meet their
rigorous network support and automation requirements.

Satellite Management Capabilities
Envoy NRM automates hundreds of routine network
maintenance and recovery tasks to help organizations reduce
remote support costs and eliminate operator errors through
best-in-class, standardized procedures. Envoy NRM’s automated
capabilities include:
* Detecting and correctly diagnosing equipment and communications
failures
* Executing pre-defined, best-practice recovery procedures
* Provisioning and re-provisioning services
* Configuring devices via remote administration
* Measuring and managing remote network service levels
from an end-user’s perspective
Increase Network Availability
Envoy NRM leverages a unique, out-of-band architecture
to ensure that the network is always being managed, even
when the main network connection is down or degraded.
In the case of an outage, the Envoy NRM will automatically
establish an alternate communications path via a dial-up
connection to send important monitoring and logging data
back to the EMS.
For satellite-based networks, the Envoy NRM uses its integrated,
external modem to dial out to a low-earth orbit (LEO)
satellite to establish a secure, alternate communications
path. With Envoy NRM on duty, you will never be in the
dark again, even during an outage.
Enforce Security Standards
Security standards are often compromised at the network’s
edge. In the case of an outage, outsourced support personnel
may be given root-level access to systems and applications
in order to quickly restore them, exposing the organization
to a potential security threat.
Envoy NRM ensures end-to-end management security by providing
encrypted access to all managed devices, enforcing authorization
and authentication policies, and auditing all user interactions
and configuration changes. Envoy NRM’s out-of-band architecture
enables security standards to be enforced even during
a network outage or service disruption.
Satisfy Compliance Requirements
Regulatory compliance standards are adding even more complexity
and risk to managing distributed networks. To satisfy
stringent compliance requirements, IT administrators must
be able to quickly and correctly identify information
about what changes are being made in the network, who
is making the changes, and what the impact of those changes
are or will be.
Envoy NRM automatically collects and reports all device
interactions and configuration changes for each managed
device, including satellite communications equipment.
Envoy NRM’s physical connectivity to each device enables
compliance auditing even during network disruptions and
outages.
Remotely Manage Hybrid Network Equipment
With Envoy NRM, you can remotely access, monitor and control
hybrid networks of satellite and terrestrial network equipment,
including routers, switches, hubs, firewalls, wireless
access points, VSAT modems, antenna controllers, RF amplifiers,
GPS devices, power controllers and more.
Simplify and Standardize Management
Envoy NRM’s standardized, automated management capabilities,
combined with the web-based, graphical view from the NRMS,
allow operational staff to simultaneously view and control
their hybrid networks from anywhere in the world. Via
the NRMS portal, administrators can easily view real-time
device statistics and alarms, and execute automated tasks,
such as service provisioning or auto-recovery through
its simple point-and-click interface.
Meet New Challenges
As new technologies emerge, it is imperative to have a
flexible and extensible management platform in place to
adapt to changing requirements. Uplogix’ breakthrough
automation, architecture and extensibility allow users
to adapt to the requirements of new technologies to protect
and ensure high network service levels and availability.
