Introducing Websense V-Series Appliances
Software provided on the appliance
Web components
On an appliance running in either Web mode or Web and Email mode, the following
core Web security components are pre-loaded for your convenience:
Policy Database
Policy Broker
Policy Server
Filtering Service
User Service
Usage Monitor
Control Service
Directory Agent
TRITON Unified Security Center (Web mode only), includes:
•
Central Access
•
Unified Security Center
•
Settings Database
•
Investigative Reports Scheduler
•
Manager Web Server
•
Reporting Web Server
•
Reports Information Service
Network Agent
Web Security Gateway
If you configure Web Security Gateway during firstboot, then your appliance also
includes:
Websense Content Gateway
On an appliance in Web mode (only), TRITON Unified Security Center is installed on
the appliance by default, and only its Web security functions are enabled. However,
using the TRITON console on the appliance is optional and is typically only for
convenience during evaluations. In production environments, it is best practice to run
TRITON Unified Security Center off-appliance on a separate Windows machine.
[Even for evaluations, TRITON Unified Security Center can run on the appliance only
if the appliance runs in
full policy source
mode.] See the Websense Appliance
Manager Help for more information about the policy source.
