Fax: 630-629-2429  Athena Security Automating engineering intensive activities in enterprise data center networks >>  Comprehensive >>  Cost effective >>  Safe, offline analysis >>  For any size business
Athena’s engineering automation solutions:  -  Athena knows data packet flow via its offline configuration-based analytics technology -  Athena collects and retains defining attributes of layer 3 devices (ACL, routing, Nat) -  Engineering automation is now possible in large transformation projects (application / data center migration )
Data center migration scenarios Firewall upgrades Application / data center migration West Coast East Coast Cisco Pix Cisco ASA 8.3 Firewall consolidation Network segmentation A B C Redirect traffic thru A Cross vendor migration CheckPoint Juniper Standard FirePAC Athena migration automation modules Legacy Target
Key technical considerations in data center migration projects: What applications / partners are active and need to be moved? What devices need to be changed on the target?  What is the IP re-mapping scheme? What rules/objects in source firewalls need to be migrated How does address re-mapping in target environment  affect the rules that are migrated Identify gaps in the routing architecture to support migrated applications East Coast target data center West Coast legacy data center

Editor's Notes

  • #4 A range of engineering intensive migration scenarios exist for which Athena can address.
  • #5 Network mapping – remap IP addresses. To impose some convention – such as network segmentation
  • #6 Network mapping – remap IP addresses. To impose some convention – such as network segmentation
