Secure Remote Access
Gold Award:
Juniper Networks Secure Access
The technology is based on the Instant Virtual Extranet (IVE) platform, which uses SSL, the security protocol found in all standard Web browsers. The use of SSL eliminates the need for client-software deployment, changes to internal servers and costly ongoing maintenance and desktop support, Juniper says. For big global enterprises, Juniper recommends its Secure Access 6000 SSL VPN appliances. Features of this product include built-in SSL acceleration and compression for all traffic types, redundant and/or hot swappable hard disks, power supplies and fans; dynamic access privilege management with three access methods; and advanced software for more sophisticated functionality, including simplified administration with a central manager.
