The new Network and Security Manager (NSM) offers centralized management for Juniper Networks J-series services routers, EX-series Ethernet switches, Secure Access SSL VPN and firewall/VPN and Intrusion Detection and Prevention appliances, and the newly announced Unified Access Control (UAC) solution.

The Network and Security Manager (NSM) enables high-performance businesses to consolidate and simplify the management of their network infrastructure to increase security, reduce cost and realize operational gains.

Overview

Network and Security Manager (NSM) is a powerful, centralized management solution that controls the entire device life cycle of firewall/IPSec VPN, Secure Access (SSL), Infranet Controller (IC), J-series and EX-series switches (JUNOS® software). NSM handles the basic setup and network configuration with local and global security policy deployment for these products. Unmatched role-based administration allows IT departments to delegate appropriate levels of administrative access to specific users, minimizing the possibility of a configuration error that may result in a security hole. NSM can scale from small to large enterprises with NSMXpress and NSM Central Manager as a plug-and-play appliance preloaded with the latest version of NSM software.
