SonicWALL has released new version of Global Management System (GMS), which it claims to allow administrators to define and push policies for continuous data protection and email security appliances at the device, device group or global level.
The company said that the new GMS 6.0 provides the ability to run custom reports for secure remote access devices, allowing 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 range of UTM appliance features.
According to SonicWALL, a new web services application programming interface (API) facilitates integration between GMS and other management consoles and enterprise applications. Near real time live monitoring and alerting based on syslog messages from SonicWALL devices under management increases network uptime.
Jan Sijp, director of product management at SonicWALL, said: One of the main focus areas at SonicWALL and for GMS in particular is serving our managed service provider (MSP) customers. Our MSP customers will benefits from a new web services application programming interface (API) which MSPs can use to integrate GMS with their other in-house systems.
“Our new reverse inheritance feature closes the loop with the existing reverse inheritance functionality enabling customers to, among other things, copy configurations from one device to another or from one device to a group of devices.
