Remote Upgrade
Upgrading essential parts of your network infrastructure can be difficult and time-consuming. StoneGate's Remote Upgrade eases the burden.
One-Step Upgrade
StoneGate is an integrated package, delivered to you with all of the software integration and testing done. There is no separate operating system and there are no patches to apply. Simply download the upgrade image and push it to the remote security engines using the management interface. Configuration information is preserved during upgrades, so your StoneGate security engine is ready to return to production immediately after the upgrade.
Fail-Safe, Reliable and Transparent
Your StoneGate security engine stays in production while the upgrade image is downloaded. Once the upgrade image has been transferred and its integrity verified, the remote engine is rebooted so that the upgrade can take effect. Should the remote engine fail to boot the upgrade is rolled-back to the previous version. This mechanism means that upgrades either succeed or fall back gracefully.
With StoneGate’s built-in high availability clustering, upgrades can be completed during business hours with zero impact to end-users. Cluster nodes can be upgraded one at a time, with the remaining nodes transparently handling the traffic as each node is rebooted. Service continues with no lost connections.
Scheduled Automatic Upgrades
You can upload a new software version without immediate activation. For instance, you can upload the upgrade before leaving the office and have the upgrade start during the night; then by the time you get back to the office the next morning, all the firewalls have been safely upgraded.Benefits
