“VPN buyers love the convenience of being able to download our VPN appliance. Network administrators can experience the user and management interfaces and actually observe how SSL VPN-Plus fits within their current network setup—all without the logistics of a hardware appliance. Most prospects are up and running within 15 minutes,” said Michel Susai, chairman and CEO, NeoAccel. “This unique distribution method allows more people to experience the 3rd Generation VPN with performance enhancing and patented ICAA technology.”
NeoAccel’s offering of SSL VPN-Plus under VMware consists of three separate options: SSL VPN-Plus and NAC-Plus running on an existing VMware Server platform; SSL VPN-Plus Evaluation Virtual Appliance for the VMware Player; and Globally Managed SSL VPN-Plus Farm for ASPs/MSPs/ISPs.
SSL VPN-Plus and NAC-Plus can now be purchased as virtual appliances and run on a VMware ESX Server. Network administrators get all the benefits of a virtualised infrastructure including on-demand replication, scalability and backup of the VMware environment without the hassles of buying and maintaining hardware. SSL VPN-Plus for VMware is available at NeoAccel’s standard licencing rates of between $50-$200 per concurrent user depending on quantity.
SSL VPN-Plus Evaluation Virtual Appliance enables prospects to download and try an active version of SSL VPN-Plus using VMware player, effectively turning any laptop or extra lab computer into an SSL VPN-Plus Gateway, in under 15 minutes. After signing-up at neoaccel.com and receiving e-mail verification, users obtain an unrestricted 10 concurrent user licence for 30-days.
For ASPs/MSPs/ISPs, NeoAccel provides 10Gbps SSL VPN performance on the SGX-5200 appliance which enables service providers to take advantage of the VMware operating environment—provisioning, cloning and managing SSL VPN-Plus Gateways on the fly with a global manager. This enables MSPs/ISPs to offer their customers compartmentalised, secured access with flexibility and scalability. The SGX-5200 appliance supports up to 128 individual virtual machines. The SGX-5200 appliance list price is $19,995 plus the cost of concurrent user licences per virtual gateway.
All versions of SSL VPN-Plus on VMware are fully functional SSL VPN-Plus gateways purposefully built as a zero administration IPsec replacement. Standard features include clientless and full access clients, end point security, GUI administration, mobile VPN, secure desktop support and more.
NeoAccel plans to expand its virtualisation offering by making SSL VPN-Plus available for other virtualisation architectures in the near future. |
