4 What is Local Management? 4 From the Enterprise to the Edge –Reduce operational expenses –Maintain performance, availability & security …for communications infrastructures including remote and difficult or expensive to access elements. Uplogix Delivers –Remote Access: Cost effective and reliable with multiple OOB channel options –Access Control and Complete Audit: Fine grained roles based access for administration with no network AAA dependence. –Configuration Management: Fail-safe automated changes and updates. Common interface for heterogeneous environments. –Automated On-Site Support: Automate tasks normally requiring an on-site technician –Monitoring: More intensive network independent without reliance on SNMP MIBs. –Centralized Control and Reporting. Integration with centralized management systems. A management platform located with and directly connected to managed devices, complementing centralized management tools ©2011 Uplogix, Inc. | uplogix.com 4

5 How We Are Different ©2012 Uplogix, Inc. | uplogix.com5 What makes Uplogix different from traditional network management tools? Directly connected | See more than SNMP, more reliably and without impacting the network at all (poll intensively) Fail-safes making changes | Do more, automate more, more often without worry Flexible automation | Through the same CLI access technicians use – robust change processes and run book automations, no limitations Extends role-based management | Access and detailed “always” on audit to network devices Complements existing centralized network management tools | Improves performance, reliability and capabilities
