CUNA (Controlware Universal Network Appliance)

---

Requirements

The customer was looking for a flexible, universal solution for the internationally distributed network, taking into account the following points: Network protocol analysis (sniffing) to check data traffic for anomalies, latency measurement as well as general troubleshooting.  In addition, the hardware used should integrate into the customer's network environment, i.e. be integrated into existing logging and authorization systems. International support must be guaranteed for the hardware used.

Services & Solutions

With the help of the Controlware Universal Network Appliance, the customer requirements were met. Proactive network management makes it possible to centrally monitor and control IT resources and processes distributed across multiple sites. The appliance controls response times between sites and the results can be evaluated centrally. In terms of security, our solution also analyzes network traffic for anomalies and attacks and logs all activities.
Since the introduction of the appliance, there have been numerous repeat orders and currently the 4th hardware generation is in use. The product line has been continuously expanded, e.g. by the CUNA XXL a virtualization platform and a CUNA Minion, a mini version, which is preferably used in smaller branches.

Advantages & Benefits

• The customer benefits from an appliance that can be seamlessly integrated and receives a more cost-effective solution than, for example, comparable stand-alone solutions (Sniffer).
• Both flexible customization and continuous expansion are possible.
• The appliance can be operated and restored via a secure remote maintenance interface, thus international support by Controlware's experts is also guaranteed.
