Multi-Domain Security Management Model

With Multi-Domain Security Management, you centrally manage multiple networks, typically of different Domains, divisions, or branches. The Multi-Domain Server is the central management node that controls the policy databases for each of these networks.

Each Domain network is managed by a Domain Management Server, which provides the full functionality of a Security Management Server and can host multiple Virtual Systems, virtual and physical devices. The server that manages the VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster is the Main Domain Management Server. A VSX Gateway or VSX Gateway can host Virtual Systems that are managed by different Domain Management Servers.
