TRITON solutions include a combination of software that runs on-appliance and software that runs off-appliance. This is true both for security components and management components.

Management consoles that reside on the V-Series appliance

The Appliance manager is used for system configuration and monitoring. Use this console to:

Monitor the status of software modules and appliance resources.

Establish assignments and routes for network interfaces.

Apply patches and hotfixes.

Run diagnostics, configure alerting, and perform other system troubleshooting.

The Content Gateway manager is used to configure and manage the Content Gateway proxy used for TRITON AP-WEB real-time security analysis.

Management consoles that reside on a Windows server

The TRITON Manager runs off the appliance. It is the unified management console for TRITON on-premises web, data, and email protection solutions. Depending on which solutions you have installed, it may include the following modules:
