At Blue Reef, our philosophy is that the simplest way to achieve your Internet goals is through dynamic, flexible Internet plans based on your enterprise’s policies, instead of fixed and static “firewall rules” for the computer a person is sitting in front of.

Sonar enables and enforces safe, secure and reliable Internet policies for your staff in six easy steps:

1. Create as many different Internet plans as needed (staff, team, managers, guests).

2. Add different attributes to each plan, defining what users belonging to the plan are allowed to do (allocated quota, time allowance, access rights, security levels, etc.).

3. Define specific circumstances that trigger the attributes of the plans (user identity, point of access, time of day, location...)

4. Add students and staff to the appropriate plan by simply mapping the plan to the school’s Identity Authority (Novell’s eDirectory, Microsoft’s Active Directory, Apple’s Open Directory).

5. Employees can self monitor their personal Internet plan using the MySonar portal.

6. Managers can generate individual or system wide reports to track Internet usage, and ensure policy compliance.

The Sonar Internet Management platform leverages multiple policy attributes to provide the ultimate Internet Management solution for your enterprise.
