When a new instance of a service or application is deployed , the Operator
Toolbox tools will guide the operator through a graphical wizard that asks for the unique parameters of the service , such as IP address , server name , and SSL key . The bulk of the service configuration is standardized

Tasks that were time consuming and prone to error are immediately converted to automated processes .
Over time , businesses can modify the tools to meet their specific IT requirements to deliver increase savings .
The support of application delivery and security services for these architectures can be both costly and time-consuming . IT executives are looking for tools to simplify the operational management of these solutions and reduce the overall costs to support the IT infrastructure .

Reduce the training times necessary
without the expensive and extensive training necessary to make them application delivery and security experts . The advanced functions and knowledge to enable them in the IT infrastructure is built into the tools that operational staff have access to via the Operator Toolbox . The operations team only needs to understand which tool to execute for a service to be enabled and updated .
This eliminates the need for the operations team to escalate configuration and management questions to the subject matter experts ( SME ) and architects .
Reducing the number of escalations and total time spent improves the operational efficiency of the IT organization .
Adding Interoperability through REST API
Thanks to a comprehensive REST API ,
APSolute Vision exposes its entire functionality of vDirect and Operator
Toolbox to third-party portals and data center management / automation systems . With APSolute Vision ’ s REST
API , customers can gain programmatic access to any report , chart , table or screen which appears on APSolute
Vision Web-based management
( WBM ). The APSolute Vision REST API works in concurrence with the
APSolute Vision WBM and enforces shared-device locking to prevent concurrent configuration modification .
Conclusion
to support application delivery and security solutions
Eliminate human error and misconfiguration throughout the IT infrastructure
Reduce costs through operational efficiencies
* APSolute Vision is Radware ’ s centralized management and reporting system .
Automation Equals Cost and Resource Savings
Businesses are building more advanced and complex IT
