The centralization of branch office servers and storage enables enterprises to more effectively manage and secure critical business information. By moving servers out of branch offices and consolidating IT infrastructure to fewer, purpose-built data centers, enterprises can protect vital business resources through tight physical security and well-defined access procedures.
Server centralization also facilitates adherence to corporate and regulatory compliance policies, which mitigates a company’s overall risk of exposure. It enables IT staff to easily, and more cost effectively, identify deviations from established guidelines, such as Sarbanes Oxley, GLBA and HIPAA, and take appropriate remediation steps when necessary. To see which regulations are affecting top IT organizations, check out a recent Strategic Deployment Survey conducted by Secure Enterprise.
In addition to enabling the centralization of business resources, Silver Peak products are built on a Secure Content Architecture that maximizes data security and compliance within the enterprise. The Secure Content Architecture delivers the following advanced security features:
128 Bit AES Encryption of local data stores to prevent unauthorized access to information stored in NX Series appliances
Optional IPsec between appliances (using AES encryption) to secure data transfer over the WAN
TACACS+ and RADIUS support to prevent unauthorized devices from accessing Silver Peak NX Series appliances
Secure interfaces on all management consoles, including SNMPv3 and HTTPs
Advanced reporting tools for traffic analysis, device management, and historical trending
