IBM Management Console

IBM Management Console is a web-based management application that provides full visibility of the high-speed transfer environment. IBM Console allows centralized control over transfers, nodes and users, and maintains comprehensive logging for customized reports, notifications, and auditing.

IBM Management Console provides:

• Centralized administration and control features that give administrators precise monitoring and extensive control of the transfer environment.

• Node management and user access control capabilities designed for bandwidth control and security.

• Secure access and transfers to help protect business-critical digital assets.

• Reporting and auditing features with both immediate notifications and historical graphical analysis.

Centralized administration and control features

• Provide a consolidated dashboard and detailed drill-down views to monitor and control network-wide transfer activity and bandwidth utilization.

• Enable continuous control over speed and priority of individual transfers.

• Enable aggregate bandwidth configuration per node or per user group.

• Allow remote nodes browsing and initiation of ad-hoc transfer jobs.

• Provide license updates directly from the dashboard.

Node management and user access control capabilities

• Enables remote configuration for all node properties such as bandwidth controls, encryption settings, directory creation masks and email notifications.

• Defines transfer settings and authorization policies by user, including bandwidth caps and priorities, encryption and security settings.

• Enables administrators to manage group policies including local Windows and UNIX groups.

Secure access and transfers

• Use Active Directory and LDAP integration.

• Take advantage of AES-128 data encryption in-transit and at-rest with configurable per-user encryption settings and minimum required password strength.

• Enable configurable encryption settings per user, with complete transfer authorization policies and security options.

Reporting and auditing features

• Provide a detailed, centralized transfer history database with automatic scheduled backups and age-based purging.

• Create exportable activity reports by day, IP address or user.

• Enable graphical, user-defined reports for usage tracking, audits or billing, and provides advanced mode for any custom query.
