Generic Discovery Server (GDS)

Enabling Dynamic Discovery of Encryption Devices

• Dynamic HAIPE® Discovery
• Simplified INE Integration & Configuration
• Increased Network Efficiency
• Optimal Routing and Redundancy

Overview

The Generic Discovery Server (GDS) is a software application that simplifies the configuration process and increases the efficiency of High Assurance IP Encryptors (HAIPE®). HAIPE devices can be configured to automatically register with the GDS, making it ideal for large networks and mobile devices. This enables the HAIPE INEs to dynamically locate other INEs and route traffic via optimal paths.

Features at a Glance

• Intuitive User Interface for Server Configuration
• Storage for Over 40,000 Network & Device Addresses
• Redundant Routes
• Supports both IPv4 and IPv6
• Interoperable with GEM X™ and GEM X Lite Encryptor Management Software
• Supports Windows® and Solaris Operating Systems

GDS Allows You To:

• Display, sort, search, export and import network prefixes
• Display, sort and search a list of HAIPEs that have registered with the GDS
• Display, sort, search and export an event log
• Locally or remotely add, delete, or update network prefixes
• Assign an expiration date to network prefixes
• Automatically remove expired network prefixes from its database
• Assign a preference to separate routes to the same protected IP network
• Configure the ports used to listen for HAIPE messages
• Automatically alert GEM X™ workstations of newly registered encryptors

GEM X™ Interoperability

The GDS discovery functionality combined with the GEM X Encryptor Manager provides encryptor users and administrators a cost-effective solution for controlling and optimizing their secure network. Once a new HAIPE device is registered in the GDS database, GDS automatically alerts GEM X of the new device and commands GEM X to discover and start managing the device.

Both GEM X and GDS can be hosted on one single workstation which can simplify network administration and eliminate costs associated with equipment purchases such as workstations and fronting encryption devices. For more information on GEM X and GEM X Lite, please visit www.gdc4s.com/GEMX.

Interoperability

The GDS is compatible with GEM X Release 3.5, GEM X Lite Release 3.5, Sectéra Edge Smartphone and with all HAIPE v3 compliant encryptors including the TACLANE®-Micro Release 3.5, TACLANE-GigE Release 3.5 and other Non-General Dynamics HAIPE v3 encryptors.

Availability and Price

The GDS is available as a standard product which can be used with GEM X Lite, or bundled with the GEM X Universal Encryptor Manager.
