 Key Features and Benefits

ProactiveNet's Intelliscope for VPN-1/FireWall-1 monitors performance so you know not only that your Check Point FireWall-1 is available, but also how it is functioning. In common with all ProactiveNet monitoring, the Intelliscope determines the normal behavior of your Check Point firewalls and integrates these findings into an understanding of normal behavior of every monitored element of your site. Intelligent Thresholds take into account historical and current behavior for every hour of every day.

ProactiveNet also uses Intelligent Thresholds to provide a real time early warning system. With pattern recognition and event correlation algorithms, ProactiveNet pinpoints impending problems before they can degrade your site. These significant anomalies can occur in environments where there is unanticipated traffic growth, software incompatibility, or operator errors. You can be ahead of the curve, tuning your site before your visitors experience any difficulty.

ProactiveNet takes an integrated service level perspective across all the components of your site, bringing several benefits.

  • Improved service levels: Intelligent firewall, application, server, and network monitoring helps predict and prevent degradation of your visitors' experience and your corresponding business objectives.
  • Higher operations productivity: Real time intelligent alarms, proactive reports, and easy web access to firewall, application, server, and network performance helps streamline operations.
  • Better capacity planning decisions: Easy access to capacity and performance data for your firewall, application, server, and related network devices enables you to make informed planning decisions.

As part of ProactiveNet's overall monitoring, the Check Point FireWall-1 allows you to resolve immediate and long-term performance problems in the context of your site as a whole, providing your customers and partners with the service level you intend.
