IPGU - the Single Pane of
Network Management and Visualization
SAICLO IPGU offers a comprehensive single-pane solution for network inventory, monitoring, and management with rich visualization capabilities. This powerful platform integrates key components including inventory management, real-time monitoring, network management tools, and advanced visualization features. Designed to meet the needs of small to large networks, IPGU provides network administrators and IT professionals with the tools they need to efficiently oversee and control their network assets, ensuring enhanced operational efficiency and security.
Inventory: The Foundation of Management
At the core of IPGU lies a robust inventory management system, built on a flexible graph data model. This system allows for intricate object and link hierarchies, enabling administrators to accurately represent complex network topologies and real-world network interconnections.
IPGU's inventory management goes beyond basic asset tracking. It incorporates geo-properties, allowing for precise geographic mapping of Points of Presence (PoP) and network elements. This feature is crucial for organizations with geographically dispersed networks, providing a clear visual representation of asset locations.
Discovery
IPGU employs advanced discovery mechanisms including L2/L3 scanning with ICMP, LLDP, CDP, dynamic routing, and NetFlow-based discovery. This ensures that the inventory is always up-to-date and accurately reflects the current network state.
Integrations
The system integrates data from related company information sources such as CMDB, infrastructure description repositories, accounting and other databases, and also uses Websockets, RESTful API and other types of data import - all that will provide complete and reliable information for decision making.
Open Applications Programming Interfaces
An open, well-documented API allows you to programmatically create assets and retrieve properties, facilitating integration with other tools and automating network resource management processes.
Proactive Network Management
IPGU's network monitoring and management features empower administrators to take control of their network infrastructure proactively. The platform offers a range of tools designed to streamline operations and reduce response times to network events.
Configurable alerting ensures that the right people are notified of critical network events in real-time. These alerts can be customized based on various thresholds and conditions, allowing organizations to focus on the most important issues affecting their network.
Automated Actions
Configuration Management
Integrated Alarm Management
Customizable Reporting
A variety of network technologies and protocols are used in solutions: ARP, ICMP/Ping, CDP/LLDP, SNMP v1/v2/v3, SSH/Telnet CLI, NETCONF, RESTCONF, NetFlow, IP-SLA, Traceroute/Geo, BGP, OSPF, ASIS,...
Rich Visualization:
Bringing Technical Data to Visuials
One of IPGU's standout features is its rich visualization capabilities, which transform complex network data into intuitive, actionable insights. These visual tools are designed to cater to different aspects of network management and various user preferences.
2D and 3D Topology Views
The platform offers both 2D and 3D topology views, providing enhanced mapping capabilities. These views allow for interactive exploration of the network, with the ability to zoom, rotate, and focus on specific areas of interest.
Geographic Maps and Network Diagrams
IPGU's geographic maps and network diagrams offer a spatial view of the network, overlaying performance data and connectivity information on real-world geography. This is particularly useful for organizations with geographically distributed networks.

Robust Security Features
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
IPGU implements a comprehensive RBAC system, allowing organizations to define user roles with specific permissions. This granular control ensures that users only have access to the features and data necessary for their job functions.
Least Privilege Principle
Following the principle of least privilege, IPGU limits user permissions to the minimum level of access required. This approach reduces the potential impact of compromised user accounts and helps prevent accidental misconfigurations.
Secure Communication
All components of IPGU use secure communication protocols, ensuring that data transmitted between the platform and network devices is encrypted and protected from interception.
Encrypted Credential Storage
IPGU employs strong encryption for storing login credentials and other sensitive information. This protects critical access data even in the event of unauthorized access to the platform's database.
Public and Private Cloud
IPGU is available for use in both public and private clouds. Designed for flexibility, it provides enterprises with advanced features, seamless integration, and reliable performance, offering complete control and scalability to meet a variety of operational needs.
