Creating an Application or Application Pack

Applications

An application has properties, including name, owners, editors, and viewers. You configure the connectivity requirements that include all of the connections the sources, protocols and destinations of network traffic.

Application Packs

When multi-customer mode is set to interconnected, the business owner can create applications packs, which are a set of published connections to applications that are grouped together. Application packs let a business owner manage a related set of connections through a single group. For example, a business owner can bundle the connections to a DNS server, an authentication server, an Exchange mail server, and an internal database into an application pack. After the application pack is published, the customer connects to the application pack and gets connections that include all of the required connectivity.

The icons used to identify applications and application packs are:

  • - application
