Role-based Monitoring
A critical challenge for and large-scale enterprises is providing a satisfactory amount of service level reports to their respective customers. NetScreen Global PRO offers a revolutionary role-based monitoring system to allow easy parsing of massive log and report files to provide the appropriate reports to each user of the system based on their specific privileges. Through the intuitive Global PRO Administrator Utility, the administrator sets up rules for the devices and systems that are associated with the appropriate customer or departmental domains. Next, they assign group specific login and passwords. The result is a powerful role-based administration system where each user is given exactly the relevant information they need in a timely manner, while allowing the administrator to access all of the data for overall security assessments and capacity planning purposes. Reports can be viewed on a per-device basis or data can be aggregated for all devices for a given customer or domain. Best of all, because all of the information is obtained from a common data store, service providers can allow their end customers to enjoy the same feature-rich views for their specific domain that the main administrator can see, while solid internal system security ensures that data integrity is maintained for each customer.

Extensive Interoperability
Because an industry-leading Oracle central database is used together with NetScreen's open database schema, data from the system can be easily integrated into many third party fault management, billing and reporting applications. This ensures that whatever reporting application a service provider or enterprise customer is using,
NetScreen-Global PRO can easily provide accurate and timely data. Furthermore, the product comes with out-of-the-box integration with Crystal Reports™ through a set of security-specific Web-based report templates. These templates can be freely branded and extended by the service provider to create their own look and feel to the standard reports. Finally, an add-on Netcool™ integration Module forwards NetScreen data seamlessly into any Micromuse Netcool console and features an advanced rule-set for data correlation and reduction to assist in root cause analysis.
