Description
Check Point Virtual Systems utilize virtualization technology to streamline and enhance security in private cloud environments, ultimately resulting in a reduced overall cost of ownership. By enabling the deployment of multiple virtualized security gateways on a single hardware unit, organizations can customize security measures for each virtual system. This level of customization aids in transforming extensive and intricate network security policies into more digestible components, thereby improving security protocols to align with stringent business requirements. Virtual Systems prove particularly beneficial in expansive settings such as large enterprises, data centers, and Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Within MSP frameworks, they consolidate hardware resources and maintain user privacy by isolating applications and services into distinct virtual environments. Additionally, this system supports both layer-2 bridge mode and layer-3 Virtual Systems operating on the same gateway, which allows for seamless integration into pre-existing network structures without necessitating a complete overhaul of IP routing configurations. Consequently, organizations can operate more efficiently while maintaining robust security measures tailored to their specific needs.
Description
The Cisco Elastic Services Controller (ESC) functions as a Virtual Network Functions Manager (VNFM), managing the entire lifecycle of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) from the initial onboarding and deployment phases to ongoing monitoring, scaling, healing, and eventual decommissioning. With its flexible and modular design, ESC accommodates both Cisco's VNFs and those from third-party providers, making it suitable for a variety of network settings. It integrates effortlessly into any ETSI-compliant Management and Orchestration (MANO) framework, ensuring that architectural integrity and compliance are upheld. The platform delivers in-depth visibility into service creation, allowing for effective management from the instantiation stage through critical maintenance activities like auto-scaling and healing, all the way to the final teardown of both simple and intricate multi-VNF services. By adeptly managing multi-VNF services, it offers essential tools for creating service definitions, enforcing policies, and controlling VNF placements, thus enhancing operational efficiency. Furthermore, ESC is equipped with advanced analytics capabilities and service health monitoring, which are supported by its integrated instrumentation, ensuring that network performance is continuously optimized. This comprehensive approach not only simplifies network management but also enhances the overall reliability of services deployed across diverse environments.
