Network operators need the appropriate feature sets and tools controlling their infrastructure devices to ensure that they can effectively deploy and manage their networks securely while maintaining the ability to provide reliable service to their customers.

NETPortal Access is a solution that provides a single point of control for access to network elements (NE) across the entire service provider network.

• Single point of administration and access to network elements
• Granular control of NE requests
• Abstraction of NE command sets and responses allowing transparency across all NEs
• Throttling and Multiplexing of NE requests, thereby eliminating the common problem limited sessions
• Auditing of all NE management activity
• No custom adapters, all configuration by web-based GUI
• Open Standards allowing integration, custom user interfaces and control by  existing identity and access management systems

• Reduction in effort and cost required to administer access to network elements through centralized security administration.
• Abstraction of command sets reduces training requirements and allows controlled access to NEs by less experienced staff.
• Improved network reliability as the result of tighter controls, resulting in a reduction of outages caused by human errors or unauthorized access.
• Quicker root cause analysis as all commands and responses are audited.
