3. IP Assure Product Highlight Flexible and scalable web-based software that assesses configuration files of IP-based devices (e.g. routers, switches, firewalls) to determine if required security, availability and regulatory policies and best practices are correctly implemented. Transforms the costly labor-intensive job of network error detection and remediation into a simple automated process.
10. Product Comparison Telcordia ® IP Assure Typical NCCM Number of configuration parameters used Up to 750 per device configuration Less than 100 per device configuration Assessment approach Configuration assessments consider IP network in its entirety, encompassing multiple device-types, multiple vendors and IP technologies. Bulk upload of multi-vendor configurations for entire network. Configuration assessments are specific to a single device at a time. Out-of-the-box Assessment Capability Best-practices for security, availability, and QoS are built-in. They cover multiple technologies such as addressing, administration, VLAN, BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, RIP, MPLS, QoS, IPSec, IKE. Regulatory Policies. Best-practices for security are built-in. Customized Rules Built-in rules can receive parameter values from users. Complex customer-specific rules can be added. Security policies can be defined by user, and checked against firewalls. Multi-vendor firewalls can be compared for semantic equivalence with each other. Templates and regular-expressions can be defined by users. Topology Visualization On-screen and PDF output for IP subnet, VLAN, OSPF, MPLS, IS-IS, BGP, network path. Visio diagrams of Layer 2 (VLAN) and Layer 3 (IP subnet) Availability Analysis Non-intrusive service reach ability analysis, single point-of-failure detection N/A Manage network device configurations, software, and inventory Maintain versions of uploaded configurations and generated assessment reports Deploy and track changes to network hardware, software and configurations
