Managing Networks for Remote Offices and/or Telecommuters:

configuration management. This allows you to create VPN tunnels,
push appliance software updates to all managed Edge appliances,
and set unified security policies across the entire network — all
initiated with simple, visual drag and drop actions and helpful
wizards.
