The components of SiteManager-1
that enable efficient management of multiple Check
Point gateways include:
Customer
Management Add-On (CMA)
Via a CMA, an administrator defines, edits and
installs a customer's security policies to the
customer's gateways. Each customer can have
multiple CMAs for high availability.
Multi-Domain
Server (MDS)
The MDS houses the CMAs, as well as SiteManager-1
system information. Although multiple CMAs can
be stored on the same MDS, each CMA is completely
isolated, providing absolute customer privacy.
Multiple MDSs can be linked in the SiteManager-1
system to manage hundreds of policies in a single
environment, and to provide fail-over capabilities.
Multi-Domain
GUI (MDG)
The MDG is designed to simplify multi-policy
security management. Via the MDG, administrators
manage the entire SiteManager-1 environment,
easily incorporating new customers and their
networks into the SiteManager-1 system. Using
the MDG, administrators can provision and monitor
security via a single console, and oversee rules,
policies, logs, statuses and alerts for multiple
customers.
