Marketing description

IPSec VPN has many advantages, but there are numerous configuration options and devices in an IPSec VPN network. This creates complexities for management, problem identification, and resolution. There are many configuration commands and professional parameters that can make VPN deployments challenging. In some environments, spoke equipment is SOHO or software based and may only have private IP addresses. Also, running spoke equipment behind NAT may be unmanageable for typical network management software. HPE IPSec VPN Manager (IVM) is a module for the HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) platform that provides features for all aspects of IPSec VPN management. This includes real-time and historic status, performance monitors, problem recognition, and resolution. In addition, IVM expedites IPSec VPN deployments and displays a graphical VPN topology, VPN channel status, and other configurable monitors. It is scalable and can configure and monitor multiple devices at once.

Product features

• Reduced VPN setup and management time
  The HPE IPSec VPN Manager (IVM) module provides auto discovery, automatic performance to monitor thresholds, and a creation wizard to reduce IPSec VPN creation and management. Wizards help administrators quickly deploy IPSec VPN networks. The wizard is useful for simplifying the creation of even complicated VPN networks, reducing configuration load and decreasing maintenance costs.
• VPN performance monitoring
  To allow network administrators to understand VPN performance, IVM delivers both historic and real-time status monitoring and alerting. This facilitates the identification of equipment faults or areas where data package loss occurs. IVM displays information in easy-to-read charts, such as bar charts, pie charts, and Gantt charts, to display useful information for administrators. IVM uses a virtual spoke to monitor devices, even when they run behind NAT or use DH.
• VPN topology chart
  IVM automatically discovers and displays VPN deployments using a topology view. Administrators can view the VPN deployment, see performance metrics of the device or tunnels, and quickly access configurations from the topology.
• Template network domain
  To aide in VPN creation and management, IVM allows administrators to create logical domains to distinguish VPNs. It includes templates for domain configuration and provides mechanisms to customize domain configurations.
