This section contains information and instructions for a Websense-appliance-based deployment of Websense Web Security Gateway. In this deployment scenario, a Websense V10000, V10000 G2, or V5000 G2 appliance provides the majority of Web Security Gateway functions. For information about a software-based deployment of Web Security Gateway, see
Web Security Gateway (software-based).
The following illustration is a high-level diagram of a basic single-appliance-based deployment of Web Security Gateway. Note that this illustration is intended to show the general distribution of components and does not include network details (such as segmenting, firewalls, routing, switching, and so forth).
Microsoft SQL Server is used to store Websense data (including log and reporting data). SQL Server must be obtained separately; it is not included as part of a Websense subscription. When installing Websense components, SQL Server must be installed and running, typically on its own machine as shown above. SQL Server Express (installed using the Websense installer) may be used in place of SQL Server. However, it is a best practice to use SQL Server Express only in non-production or evaluation environments.
TRITON management server is the term used to refer to the machine on which
TRITON Unified Security Center is installed. This machine is used to manage your entire Websense deployment. It includes TRITON Infrastructure and any or all of the TRITON Unified Security Center modules (Web Security, Data Security, and Email Security). Additional components may also be installed on this machine, e.g., Web Security Log Server and Real-Time Monitor (note that these components may be installed on another machine; they are not required to be located on the TRITON management server).
Websense Remote Filtering Server is typically installed on its own machine in the network DMZ. Remote Filtering Server is used, in conjunction with
Remote Filtering Client, to filter off-site users that are outside the corporate network (e.g., traveling personnel or telecommuters).
