during today's demonstration let's focus on a specific business application payroll the application dashboard is designed to provide a window into business application connectivity for application owners and architects the details and structure of the application dashboard is very similar to application architecture documents your organization may create manually today here we can see all the general information around the payroll application including business criticality expiration information business unit as well as any other customized metadata you may wish to capture business flow provides a robust labeling infrastructure which allows filtering and reporting on business applications within estates with containing thousands of business applications finally we can quickly understand the relevant business context for this business application as well the flow section contains all connectivity flows for this application including the critical ones which its application requires to function connectivity flows are defined using objects within business flow allowing application connectivity to be divided from the underlying security policies which actually support them across the network this supports application portability enabling faster migrations to public and private clouds or micro segmentation business flows connectivity check assists our customers in providing application owners a self-serve portal for understanding their application connectivity application owners can quickly identify network policy related outages while network engineers can leverage this capability to quickly restore application availability by clicking connectivity for a specific flow we are presented with the results of the algo sex traffic simulation underpinning this particular flow for this particular example we can see that this flow is supported by traffic routed from the internet through the data center filtered by a checkpoint and a Juniper device in the path scrolling further down we can see the relevant firewall policy allowing the traffic on each device this helps to answer the age-old question of which firewall rule is actually supporting my business application section provides an automated application architecture diagram outlining all application endpoints and their relationships the arrows between the endpoints indicate the connectivities flow directionality and health
