Enterasys® NMS Policy Manager
Business-Oriented Policy Management of Users and Applications
Enterasys NMS Policy Manager (also known as NetSight® Policy Manager) centralizes all the policies for users, applications, protocols, VLANs, ports, and data flows. It automates the definition, distribution, and enforcement of policy rules across the entire network. With an intuitive user interface, administrators can define policies once and then automatically enforce them on Enterasys policy-enabled infrastructure devices.
Enterasys NMS Policy Manager is role-based, significantly streamlining policy administration. Individual users with similar behavior profiles, such as sales managers, executives, or guest users are grouped into a far smaller number of roles. Applying roles makes it far easier to align the network infrastructure with the business and control guest users, enforce regulatory mandates, and enforce acceptable use rules.
Enterasys NMS Policy Manger includes a unique tool for delegating limited administration controls to non-technical line of business users. From a secure web-based console, a delegated user such as a line of business manager, receptionist, or classroom instructor can easily select a policy to implement. Policies are enabled or disabled with a simple mouse click and changes are instantly acknowledged on the console.
