Secure

Edge enPortal is the industry's only secure, vendor-neutral network management integration platform. With pre-built Product Integration Modules (PIMs) for common third-party applications, enPortal is a Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) solution that quickly integrates these network management tools and offers advanced capabilities including:

  • Single Sign-On (SSO) and Sign-Off
  • Multi-tenancy
  • Re-branding
  • Role/domain-based access via a secure proxy data.

Control

At enPortal’s core is Edge’s innovative, patented web Content Retrieval System (CRS). Edge's patented CRS facilitates the integration of additional content quickly and securely by letting customers organize application services, multi-media streams, and web-based utilities into any number of user views, without complex software development.

The Edge CRS provides the capability to add, delete, or modify any information passed between the client and back-end applications. This provides granular control over proxied content access, while simplifying security and compliance management, by requiring only a single TCP port through firewalls - regardless of how many applications are accessed.

Another benefit of the CRS technology includes the ability to establish a unified overall look and feel for applications from multiple vendors, effectively rebranding multiple applications into a single solution. In addition, enPortal's CRS capability enables Managed Service Providers to impose multi-tenancy capabilities on applications lacking native multi-tenancy support.

Integrate

Edge’s vast library of PIMs transform traditionally risk-filled development efforts into a simple configuration. The enPortal PIM approach mitigates risk, accelerates deployment, provides quicker time to value and lowers ongoing "care and feeding" expenses.

Edge PIMs provide built-in hooks from enPortal into individual third-party packages. PIMs enable enPortal to recognize user names, security specifics, and a wide variety of other variables already established within the third-party application - so the administrator can act on those variables through enPortal. PIMs also provide pre-built channels through enPortal so the data from the underlying application can be easily accessed through the enPortal dashboard.

One of the challenges associated with integration is bringing together information from a wide variety of packages, and then making different types of information available to different types of users - both internal and external. enPortal's Dashboard View Integration capabilities provide an at-a-glance view of user-centric service health with the ability to drill down for further details.

The enPortal Dashboard View:

  • Transforms event data to service information
  • Transforms component events to service impact
  • Integrates data from service-oriented applications
  • Provides simple visualizations of information derived from disparate data sources

Using the enPortal Dashboard View Integration capability, customers can optimize the data they're already receiving by creating automated responses across multiple applications, based on multiple types of alarms or alerts.

enGage

Rapid Portal-agnostic Application Integration To engage information to its fullest potential you must securely provide the right content to the right user in the right context ... regardless of application or portal. Edge Technologies’ enGage does precisely that. enGage integrates your existing real-time network and service management applications into any portal container or J2EE server. And most importantly, it does so in a fraction of the time previously required. The biggest stumbling blocks to application/portal integration are time and risk. enGage minimizes both. With enGage you can simply and cost-effectively integrate applications like Remedy and IBM Tivoli Netcool (and many more) into today’s leading portal platforms such as Appian, Liferay, Tivoli Netcool/Portal 2.0, Websphere, and WebLogic. enGage: Better Information Faster By simplifying integration and greatly reducing the time needed to deploy complex applications, enGage lowers costs, mitigates risk, eliminates trial and error and frees staff to concentrate on their core missions. enGage improves service quality to end users, customers and business partners. With enGage you make information more meaningful, more available, and more secure; all in far less time than traditional API-level integrations.
