Why ConSentry -- How are we different?
Put simply, ConSentry’s Intelligent Switching gives you a level of user and application control that no other switch can match.
Based on an industry-leading architecture and patented technology, the ConSentry LANShield Switch ties together user identity, role, application, and destination server to give you the business context you need to align your LAN with your business.
This intelligence shows you more about your LAN than you’ve ever seen, with all LAN activity correlated to the user. The username is tied to MAC and IP addresses, applications, and even application details such as a filename or URL. You can’t control what you can’t see, so by showing you all this user detail, ConSentry intelligent switching is also giving you the tools to set policy on any and all those details.
Dynamic and Flexible
ConSentry intelligent switching dynamically learns users and their roles, understands the applications in use, and tracks the servers users are trying to reach. It then uses all that intelligence to apply policy, on the fly, to every user traffic flow. The architecture is programmable, providing the packet processing horsepower to derive all this state and dynamically apply policy but with the programmability needed to keep pace with changing business requirements.
Integrated
The ConSentry intelligent switch integrates both the smarts to understand what users are doing on the LAN and the controls needed right in the wiring closet. This integration of intelligence and control with wire-speed switching simplifies deployment, provides tight LAN controls, and lower's IT cost of operations.
Simple
The most powerful benefit of intelligent switching is the simplicity it enables. The inherent knowledge of users, tied to their roles and applications, makes it easy to perform the full gamut of IT tasks. Separating users on the LAN, provisioning and de-provisioning users quickly, troubleshooting issues fast, supporting new services such as voice over IP and wireless – all made easy. The smarter the LAN, the easier your job.
Step up to Intelligent Switching
So at your next upgrade, rather than investing in switches based on the legacy architecture, step up to intelligent switching to gain the user and application control you need and simplify your life.
