Juniper Networks Network and Security Manager (NSM) gives you complete control over
your network. Using NSM, you can configure all your Juniper Networks devices from one
location, at one time.
NSM works with networks of all sizes and complexity. You can add a single device, or
create device templates to help you deploy multiple devices. You can create new policies,
or edit existing policies for security devices. The management system tracks and logs
each administrative change in real time, providing you with a complete administrative
record and helping you perform fault management.
NSM also simplifies control of your network with a straightforward user interface. Making
all changes to your devices from a single, easy-to-use interface can reduce deployment
costs, simplify network complexity, speed configuration, and minimize troubleshooting
time.
For more detailed information about NSM, including a technical overview, working in the
NSM user interface (UI), and new features in NSM 2010.4, see the section on getting
started with NSM in the Network and Security Manager Administration Guide.
