Here's a look at some of the highlights of the Cato Management Application, a self-service console that provides a single view into the entire global network built across the Cato Cloud. Cato Cloud is a converged, cloud-based networking and security SD-WAN platform connecting all corporate locations, cloud assets, and mobile users.

Inside Cato Networks
Management Platform
1
Cato Networks provides a converged, cloud-based networking and security platform connecting
all of your corporate locations, cloud assets and mobile users. All network and security
management is done through the Cato Management Application, a self-service console that
provides a single view into the entire global network.

2. Cato Management Application: Enterprise Network Overview
2
When you first come into the Cato
Management Application you’re see an
overview of your network.
The main topology screen shows all sites,
datacenters, and mobile users connected
to the Cato Cloud. You can click any object
to see more information and change
configuration or policies.
On your left side, are options to drill down
into networking and security aspects of
your implementation.
On your right side, is a snapshot of the
overall network performance. Let’s take a
deeper look at some aspects of the Cato
Management Application.

The WAN Firewall is where you set access
policies between the company different
resources.

Drilling down, you can see it allows you to segment
the network and enable access based on user
identities or location.

6. Cato Management Application: Internet Firewall
6
All Internet-bound traffic is controlled by
the Internet Firewall. It is fully identity-
and application-aware so the admin can
set specific access policies based on the
users’ AD groups or roles.

9. Policy-Based Routing and Last-Mile Resilience

Once the traffic is classified, we dynamically route it based on real-time link quality….

10. Policy-Based Routing and Last-Mile Resilience

Policy-based Routing
Policy-based routing empowers the admin to
decide per application which transport to use,
it can be via Cato or another transport, like
MPLS.

11. Policy-Based Routing and Last-Mile Resilience
11
Cloud Optimization
Route/NAT enables configuration of egress points via
a specific Cato PoP. Cato accelerate business
application access to physical or cloud datacenters by
carrying designated traffic across the Cato Cloud
network, dropping it right at the doorstep of the
datacenter.

12. Policy-Based Routing and Last-Mile Resilience

Acceleration
Active TCP Acceleration enables Cato’s TCP Proxying capabilities to
increase TCP throughput.
Packet loss mitigation duplicates packet across multiple links to
overcome the packet loss.

13. Quality of Service Visibility
13
QoS Priorities
The real-time analytics allows the admin the visibility
to each link live performance, its ordered by the
priorities configured by the admin.

14. Quality of Service Visibility
14
QoS Priorities Each priority receives a MOS score based on the service level. Admins can
click any priority for additional information about performance, on which
transport, top applications, and the top hosts consuming bandwidth

15. IDENTITY AWARENESS
15
Cato introduced identity-aware routing in July, 2018. Identity awareness
abstracts policy creation from the network and application architecture,
enabling business-centric routing policies based on user identity and group
affiliation.

16. Identity-Aware SD-WAN Policy
ApplicationQoS Identity
With identity awareness, traffic can be easily prioritized within an application

17. Identity Awareness Is Also Integrated in the Reporting

The admin can
monitor specific
user activities for
advanced
troubleshooting
and monitoring

18. REPORTING AND ANALYTICS

19. Network Analytics
19
Cato provides deep and robust network analytics metrics on all traffic per
location. It gives the administrator a powerful tool to troubleshoot any
aspect of the network.

20. Network Analytics
20
Cato robust reporting for advanced troubleshooting
Drilling down we can see a site with two internet links and its performance
over time. Detailed information about throughput, packet loss, and jitter are
available for advanced troubleshooting.

21. Real-time Network Analytics
21
The real-time network analytics is another powerful tool that enables visibility
to the site’s active links. The admin can see aggregated statistics or click any link
for detailed information.

22. Real-time Network Analytics
22
For example, by clicking WAN1, a real-
time usage presented with details of the
users and the applications using the link.
