If you deploy multiple CacheGuard Gateways within your organization, you can configure and deploy each one separately. However, this often leads to repetitive tasks. To streamline this process, CacheGuard Manager is the ideal solution.
CacheGuard Manager allows you to centrally configure and manage multiple remote gateways from a single interface. With the Manager, you can create configuration templates and use them to quickly and consistently set up your Gateways.
With CacheGuard Manager, configurations made on a central manager can be pushed to multiple gateways simultaneously with just a few clicks or commands. This ensures a uniform and efficient way to manage your deployed CacheGuard Gateways.
CacheGuard Manager Overview
Central Management
The Gateway Manager lets you manage multiple remote CacheGuard Gateways from a central location. It supports various types of gateways, including UTM, Web, WAF, and WAN Gateways. Configurations can be pulled from remote Gateways and saved on the Manager, allowing administrators to modify and validate them locally before pushing them back. These pull and push operations can be done in parallel across a group of managed Gateways.
Templates
The Manager allows you to create configuration templates based on an existing Gateway configuration or another template. These templates can then be used to quickly generate new Gateway configurations for deployment on remote Gateways.
Central Blacklists
When you deploy a Manager, you can centrally manage URL Blacklists and Extended Antivirus Signatures. These blacklists and antivirus signatures can be downloaded to the Manager once and then pushed to remote managed Gateways in a single automated operation. Note that central blacklist management is only available with paid installations of the Manager.
Redundancy
To achieve High Availability, a backup Manager can be implemented to ensure service continuity in case of master Manager failure. For this setup to work properly, both the master and backup Managers should be configured on the Gateways, with the backup Manager acting as a slave to the master Manager. In this configuration, all changes made on the master Manager are automatically replicated to the slave Manager. Therefore, in the event of a failure on the master Manager, the slave Manager can be activated to maintain service availability.
CacheGuard Manager is seamlessly integrated into our core product, CacheGuard-OS. CacheGuard-OS is an appliance-oriented operating system that transforms both virtual and bare metal machines into powerful network appliances.
