Overview
Pearl Software provides solutions to monitor, control, and filter the Internet activity of multiple PCs and thin clients from a central location. Pearl Software’s solutions enable you to set user-level monitoring and Internet access policies in both a MetaFrame and client server environment.
Product Details
Pearl Echo Internet monitoring and control software monitors each user’s web browsing, file transfers, news, chat, e-mail and instant messaging. Pearl Echo also monitors keywords and phrases to protect against the dissemination of confidential information and can be set to block inappropriate Internet content.
Pearl Echo includes an enterprise-class report manager with a Quick-Link™ feature that automatically links to visited web sites and restores all text from outbound and inbound communications; including e-mail, news postings, chat and IM.
Pearl Echo is certified and fully functional in a Citrix® MetaFrame® environment. Pearl Echo’s patent pending Global Internet Management™ (GIM) technology enables each instance of a user session to be managed as if it were a stand-alone PC. Pearl Echo’s user-level capability ensures your domain user and group level monitoring and control policies are appropriately applied. Pearl Echo will also monitor each user's session - even if the session is run as a published application.
Product Architecture
The Pearl Echo Server software runs as an independent service resident on one of your Windows Domain or Stand Alone Severs. The Internet access rules you create at the Pearl Echo server are retrieved by your MetaFrame sessions through a secure agent loaded on your MetaFrame Servers. The Pearl Echo agent can also be automatically deployed to your stand-alone PC’s.

The same secure agent is responsible for sending -- or echoing -- actual or attempted Internet transactions back to the Pearl Echo server. For ultimate efficiency, Internet access decisions are made at the workstation agent. Data to be logged is first compressed by the agent before being sent back to your Pearl Echo server. The Pearl Echo workstation agent can be installed from the Pearl Echo CD or automatically deployed with the Windows Installer files provided.
With Pearl Echo's GIM technology, managed workstations can be connected to your local area network, wide area network or completely detached from your private network. Pearl Echo has been optimized for MetaFrame’s resource-conscious environment. Pearl Echo's GIM technology is extremely efficient, has a small footprint, adds negligible network traffic, and scales well due to its agent-server architecture. Because Pearl Echo runs as its own service, Echo has no dependencies on legacy proxy servers or firewalls.
