FULL DOCUMENT

Enterprises seeking to improve the availability of business-critical systems can now utilize the Internet to dynamically control service access into their protected networks, while still shielding their assets from ongoing security threats. Liebert, through its partnership with ComBrio, has pioneered the use of this technology in delivering robust remote monitoring of the critical system infrastructure to provide early detection and faster response to problems that could affect the availability of businesscritical systems. This white paper describes how this service is delivered with particular focus on network security.
