SiteScan Advanced

Take advantage of our powerful new network monitoring, reporting and troubleshooting service. Like our traditional SiteScan product, SiteScan Advanced can provide monitoring of critical software services and system health. Whereas SiteScan is limited to Polaris servers, SiteScan Advanced extends similar capabilities to other servers on the library’s network, including email servers, web servers, domain controllers, and other servers the library wishes to monitor. In addition, monitoring can be extended to most of the network fabric, including switches, routers, and firewalls. Monitoring is possible for any device that supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).

SiteScan Advanced is available at three different levels to support libraries’ budgets and specific needs.

Perimeter Security Service

Get all the security your library needs without the expense of investing in IT staff training. The Perimeter Security Service (PSS) Firebox is a powerful protector in a small package. It thoroughly analyzes all network traffic, employing application proxies and packet filtering to block dangerous traffic from entering your network. Security features include:

  • Secure centralized management
  • Powerful traffic analysis
  • Comprehensive reporting
  • Protects network from viruses and hackers
  • 24/7 monitoring

Network Services

From time to time, it is a good idea to step back and take a fresh look at your library’s computer network. How secure is it? Is it able to support all the services you want to provide? Is it providing the speed and reliability you are looking for? Polaris Library Systems offers flexible services to assist you in evaluating or upgrading your network and analyzing your network needs.
