Conforms to Your Business, not the Other Way Around

Many software products force your organization to change in order to adopt their products. Database-oriented network sniffers are a good example -- to obtain full benefit these appliances must be placed in-line between your users and your databases, adding latency and a single-point of failure. IPLocks is designed to be as invisible as possible and return benefits ASAP:

Enterprise Ready. IPLocks supports a wide variety of enterprise databases including Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, and Sybase. Highly scalable infrastructure supports managing thousands of databases from a central location.
Integrated task management. IPLocks integrates with pre-existing trouble ticket and patch management systems, so DBAs and IT Managers can use the same tools and processes for managing tasks and alerts.
Share information easily. IPLocks is a web application, so it can be accessed from anywhere, plus IPLocks has pre-defined roles and assignable user privileges to enable separation of duties.
