Via the Web Services API, SonicWALL GMS will serve up additional periodically scheduled SonicWALL-specific XML reports to ConnectWise PSA, which will associate the reports to specific customers, bundle SonicWALL reports with reports from other sources, thus - delivering key insight into network usage behavior to the customer.

In addition, SonicWALL GMS will provide detailed company and device information to the Customer Relationship Management portion of ConnectWise PSA allowing the IT solution provider customer to easily tie SonicWALL devices to company accounts. IT administrators will also be able to automate the retrieval of service contract levels and expiration dates from GMS for use in the warranty/ service renewal parts of ConnectWise PSA.

Thirdly, it will be possible for SonicWALL GMS alerts to trigger the automatic creation of trouble ticket in the Service Board part of ConnectWise PSA. GMS can generate many different types of alerts. For example, the administrator can create alerts for devices going offline or VPN tunnels going down.

"SonicWALL understands that customers do not use the Global Management System in a vacuum. In fact, many customers use a wide variety of software consoles to manage, report on, and monitor their IT infrastructure for either themselves or, in the case of Managed Service Providers, their customers. Customers also typically use a number of enterprise applications. Managed service providers and other IT solution providers use Professional Services Automation tools, such as ConnectWise PSA, to improve efficiencies in the operations of their business," said Jan Sijp, Director of policy and management for SonicWALL. "It is important that SonicWALL GMS interoperates with these other applications and this is why we developed the new Web Services API. We are confident that the upcoming tighter integration between SonicWALL GMS and ConnectWise PSA will benefit many of our IT solution provider partners who deploy SonicWALL equipment and use both SonicWALL GMS and ConnectWise PSA."

Expanded Multi-appliance Management and Reporting

The Web Services API is one of many new features available in the upcoming SonicWALL GMS 6.0 release. With GMS 6.0, SonicWALL extends appliance management beyond Network Security and Secure Remote Access to encompass Email Security and Continuous Data Protection, thereby enabling enterprises and MSPs to centrally manage an entire distributed SonicWALL security infrastructure. Features added in GMS 6.0 may include but are not limited to:

    --  With GMS 6.0, GMS administrators can define and push policies for
        Continuous Data Protection (CDP) and Email Security appliances at the
        device, device group, or global level. Expanding granular management
        coverage to the CDP and Email Security product lines greatly enlarges
        the applicability of GMS
    --  Application Firewall reporting for greater visibility into the impact
        and effectiveness of application firewall policies and thus increase
        employee productivity and efficiency of network usage
    --  Ability to run custom reports for secure remote access devices that
        allow administrators to use the raw logs collected from Aventail and SMB
        SSL VPN devices under management
    --  Support for SonicOS 5.5 extends GMS capabilities to a wider range of UTM
        appliance features, making the GMS administrator more productive

    --  An enhanced Web services API to facilitate integration between GMS and
        other management consoles and enterprise applications, greatly increases
        the productivity of the internal IT staff

Managing the VoIP Bandwidth Conundrum

The movement to VoIP technologies for many companies brings more traffic to already crowded networks, busy with multiple other applications and data transfers. Network managers and administrators are now asked to work to maintain security levels at an absolute maximum to ensure the integrity of the corporate network, while securing suitable bandwidth for "heavy network-usage" applications such as VoIP. Key to the success of such deployments includes the ability to prioritize applications on the network (i.e. VoIP based apps), keeping connections clean to prevent viruses and other malware accessing the network and having visibility into all network traffic to better control it.

To achieve the above, companies should plan on using an Application Firewall within the IT infrastructure, providing them with granularity to decide which apps have access to the network and which don't. Such Firewalls also ensure a clean connection is always made by allowing it to tag VoIP traffic guaranteeing it the highest priority when receiving, inspecting, assembling and accepting VoIP content and is the best path to maximizing call quality and providing network protection.

VoIP Introduces New Threats

While the expansion of digital telephony and teleconferencing in today's business has brought VoIP into the mainstream, so too has it brought new threats into the corporate environment. Not only is VoIP vulnerable to classic network threats such as SPIT (Spam over Internet Telephony), phishing, Trojans, worms and viruses; it also introduces a slew of other threats to the corporate network including Eavesdropping, Interception (or call hijacking), Denial of Service (DNS) attacks and more.

More key considerations when implementing a VoIP based deployment can be found at: http://www.sonicwall.com/us/products/resources/10661_14513.html

Comprehensive Protection and Performance SonicOS 5.5 for the firewall product line features SonicWALL's new Active/Active UTM, enabling a higher level of redundancy and security by providing full state synchronization for all network flows between both appliances. Unique to SonicWALL, the implementation is also able to intelligently utilize the secondary appliance's computing power to increase total network throughput, thereby allowing the SonicWALL solution to process more total traffic, deal with traffic spikes and improve overall productivity. In the event of a single unit failure, all of the traffic flow is maintained while the system gracefully transitions traffic to the remaining active appliance. Utilization of the addition CPU cycles on the secondary active appliance increases throughput for Intrusion Prevention, Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and other security functions by up to 75 percent. Additional enhancements of SonicOS 5.5 include: - Multi-WAN capability allowing up to 4 WAN interfaces to be configured on any TZ, Network Security Appliance (NSA) and E-Class NSA appliance thereby providing additional Internet redundancy along with outbound load balancing - Single-Sign-On (SSO) Scalability improvements increasing the number of authenticated users supported by SonicWALL NSA and E-Class NSA appliances - Route-based VPN allowing administrators to configure and treat VPN tunnels as network interfaces. This configuration then allows route look-ups to determine the available paths to use for VPN traffic - Solera Networks Deep Forensic Analysis providing logging format changes to support complementary data capture solution

Powerful Anti-Spam and Email Protection Against Increasingly Evolving Threats SonicWALL Email Security (SES) delivers best in class effectiveness against newly emerging and advancing threats. Spammers have shifted tactics to sophisticated, multi-vector "Spam 2.0" attacks, elevating spam from a mere annoyance to a serious security threat. Enhanced features to the new SonicWALL SES 7.2, available November 3, 2009, include: SonicWALL's enhanced Advanced Reputation Management system leveraging email, Web and network security solutions to block these threats before they enter the network, minimizing bandwidth consumption and improving system performance - Easy to install and use, SES is available as an appliance, Windows server-software, as a cloud-based solution through SonicWALL partners, or as a hybrid-cloud solution with the Comprehensive Anti-Spam Service on TZ, NSA and E-Class NSA network security appliances

Expanded Multi-appliance Management and Reporting With Global Management System (GMS) 6.0, SonicWALL extends appliance management beyond Network Security and Secure Remote Access. GMS 6.0 will also encompass Email Security and Continuous Data Protection, thereby enabling enterprises and MSPs to centrally manage an entire distributed SonicWALL security infrastructure. The new SonicWALL GMS feature and functionality release is scheduled to be available before the end of 2009, and will include: - Application Firewall reporting for greater visibility into the impact and effectiveness of application utilization on networks allowing IT managers to determine specific policies for application usage and bandwidth consumption across distributed networks - GMS customers typically use several other enterprise applications to manage their business including professional service automation consoles, network management tools, and accounting and CRM systems. GMS 6.0 includes a new web services Application Programming Interface (API) that facilitates integration between GMS and other enterprise applications allowing for the exchange of critical data and increasing the productivity of the internal IT staff and the efficiency of the overall business.

- Using customer reports for both SMB and Aventail Secure Remote Access devices, GMS customers can now create granular reports on who accessed what applications over remote SSL VPN connections and at what time for forensic analysis, troubleshooting and ensuring compliance with data privacy mandates. Data from these reports can be used to increases employee productivity and network uptime.(C) 2009 Al Bawaba (www.albawaba.com)
