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
