Saves maintenance effort
The BiGuard CMS series provides a service provider with a single system to manage all the remote network devices for their end customers to enforce the management policy from a central site. A one-to-many configuration feature in the BiGuard CMS Std minimizes the effort needed to manage various network devices at dispersed sites when implementing firewall policies, filtering rules and other global objects.
Highly secured management
All the managed data of a remote network device in the pipeline is encrypted with an HTTPS mechanism to avoid hacker attacks. The remote administrator identification from service providers is qualified and authorized.
Ease-of-use
A "click–on" web-based interface makes it easy to add devices, upgrade firmware and carry out all other remote configuration functions. It’s even easy to install the BiGuard CMS series by using a setup Wizard.
Grouping device management
The devices can be clustered for group-based remote management instead of one-by-one. In addition, the administrator can choose to display the devices with a tree view or list view.
Automatic management with time schedule
What makes the BiGuard CMS series very convenient is that it allows the administrator to set up the management policies with time scheduling, for example back up data every 12 hours, or upgrade firmware at 8pm or after office hours. The policies will be automatically launched according to schedule without requiring an administrator onsite.
Flexible upgrades
The firmware upgrades of remote network devices can be performed on demand, whenever the administrator thinks it is necessary. BiGuard CMS Std is available by upgrade from the previous BiGuard CMS Lite without the need to reconfigure existing settings.
Real time monitoring and alerts
BiGuard CMS Std supports centralized event logging and alerting. When an alarm happens, it is able to receive the alert and notify the administrator via an alarm event and send an email alert at the same time. The administrator is able to monitor the status of all devices through BiGuard CMS Std and take action in real time when abnormal events occur.
Historical reports for analysis
BiGuard CMS series also offers a list of historical reports to allow the administrator to analyze the bandwidth usage, event log statistics, alarm event statistics and firmware upgrade results.
More platforms supported
Using a Java-based design, the BiGuard CMS series supports hardware platform for Intel-X86-based devices and software platforms such as MS Windows XP, and later MS Windows 2000(*) and Linux(*).
