Part 2, “Customer environment” on page 75, details a comprehensive
deployment scenario.
2.6 Conclusion
In this chapter, we discussed the architecture and design principles for the IBM
Integrated Security Solution using Cisco Networks. The overall architecture
encompasses several components from IBM and Cisco, with integrated systems
that complement each other by providing the first industry compliance-based
Network Admission Control system with automated remediation capabilities.
The focus of this chapter was to introduce a description of functionality provided
by the IBM Integrated Security Solution for Cisco Networks and how the IBM
Tivoli products and Cisco NAC are integrated. We also discussed the high-level
architecture and building blocks for the overall solution.
Designing the IBM Integrated Security Solution for Cisco Networks is a
multi-phase process involving at least three groups of IT personnel. It is
important to understand that this concept may have substantial influence on
users’ experience and productivity, especially during the project rollout.
In the next chapter we provide the detailed description of the logical and physical
components of the IBM Integrated Security Solution for Cisco Networks.
