On Demand Group Selects ConSentry’s Intelligent Switches

by Grant Draper

On Demand Group, has deployed the Consentry Networks LANShield™ Switch platform to provide integrated user and application controls and granular network visibility of all branch-office user activity within ODG.

ConSentry Networks, the leader in intelligent switching, today announced that On Demand Group (ODG), the leading video on demand (VDO) and pay per view (PPV) TV operator, has deployed the LANShield™ Switch platform. ConSentry’s intelligent switch provides integrated user and application controls and granular network visibility of all branch-office user activity within ODG.

The LANShield Switch is easily installed, and activity is easy to assess, as well as providing faster and easier incident response and troubleshooting.

Easily deployed and configured, the LANShield Switch authenticates users against standard identity stores and automatically learns their roles. For each traffic flow, the switch identifies the application in use, applies policies based on role, and fully tracks all activities. This level of granularity ensures ODG is constantly aware of all activity on the network and can manage that activity to an individual user level.

Further ConSentry LANShield switches will be deployed throughout the company in the future, creating ConSentry-enabled edge-switching infrastructure, within ODG, which will achieve compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley
