Policy Manager

Customize Network Access by Time or User

Policy Manager enables administrators to fine tune network privileges.  Policy Manager's intuitive GUI and "virtual rack" metaphor makes it easy for administrators to: 

• Create network access policies by username 
• Create network access policies by time or day of the week 
• Assign permission to users for applications such as instant messenger, gaming, and video streaming. 
• More easily manage and automate multiple Internet usage policies across organizations
• Automated sessions within Policy Manager allow organizations to “time-out” certain policy changes, for example allowing IM or Facebook access only during lunch hours

Policy Manager is for administrators with complex networks where one size doesn't fit all.  Many organizations need to provide unique privileges to different sets of users like schools (teachers vs. students), libraries (librarians vs. public Internet terminals) or  businesses with different departmental requirements (engineering vs. sales.)  Policy Manager even makes it possible to block access to common productivity-killing websites like Myspace or Facebook during working hours, but keep it available during lunch and after hours.
