Running a business requires the availability and reliability of the network infrastructure. The HP ProCurve Trusted Infrastructure Solution provides visibility into the devices on the network and a platform for quick remediation of network outages helping decrease network downtime. It automatically secures the network from unauthorized extension or attacks to the control plane; includes protection of network components and the ability to give role-based access to the network in order to prevent unauthorized managers from overriding mandated security provisions.
The
Trusted Infrastrcture diagram highlights the components of a trusted infrastructure. First and foremost, an authenticated inventory must be performed on devices that remain visible and available. Ideally, this infrastructure will enable control to the individual port level. The infrastructure must also provide a secure way to traverse un-trusted networks. Lastly the operation of the network should be managed and verified.
