Highlights - New to Version 1.2
Security Audit & Compliance

The ION™ SA5600 appliance keeps a complete record of all activity — down to the keystroke level. This gives the enterprise companies real-time insight into who is accessing the network, where they are going, and what they are doing. This capability provides the foundation for routine operational reviews and forensic analysis, necessary components of many enterprise security policies. Built-in security features, such as AES encryption, two-factor authentication, and individual user profiles/permissions, help meet or exceed compliance requirements with most enterprise security policies. Helps meet compliance requirements including (but not limited to): PCI, HIPAA, SOX and GLBA.

Easy Connectivity, Highly Scalable Solution

Monitor and manage a variety of voice, VoIP, and IT equipment over any connection — from IP, to ISDN, to dial-up. The ION™ SA5600 provides the conduit for managed services, across thousands of remote locations worldwide. An interoperable platform fits into any customer environment, allowing for easy connectivity, without having to re-configure security protocols.

Remote Alarm Management and Filtering

The ION™ SA5600 Alarm Management Engine™ (AME) feature collects, filters, and analyzes multiple alarm types, including: SNMP, serial data, and environmental condition data. A customization feature lets you create your own action routines. Built-in intelligence filters out unnecessary alarms, saving you time and money. Also, AME is compatible with most network monitoring systems. With the alarm management capabilities of the ION™ SA5600, it is easier than ever to proactively monitor Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) or enterprise voice and information technology systems.
