| Taiwanese Wireless Education Network Uses Juniper's SSL VPN Juniper Networks has announced that 240 schools served by Taiwan's Taoyuan County Education Network Center have secured and assured their wireless communications network with the Juniper Networks Secure Access 6000 appliances. TCENC provides data center services and Internet connectivity for education institutions in its region. TCENC selected the SA 6000 SSL VPN platforms to provide centralized secure remote mobile access to its campus wireless network, which offers voice, data, video and other services. The Juniper Networks Secure Access 6000 SSL VPN makes it possible for organizations to deploy cost-effective secure access, extranet, and intranet security. The use of SSL eliminates the need for client-software deployment and costly on-going client maintenance or changes to internal servers. The Secure Access 6000 appliance also offers sophisticated partner or customer extranet features that enable controlled access to differentiated users and groups, with no infrastructure changes, no DMZ deployments, and no software agents. This functionality allows secure access to the corporate intranet, so that administrators can restrict access to different students, employees or contractors, based on the resources they require. The SA 6000 is designed for large enterprises and features best-in-class performance, scalability, and redundancy for organizations with high-volume secure access and authorization requirements. Its hardware platform is designed to scale to the largest enterprise deployments and to optimize application delivery, with available options that include redundant hot swappable hard disks, power supplies and fans, as well as GBIC-based multiple Ethernet ports for redundant or meshed configurations. The SA 6000 also features a state-of-the-art SSL acceleration chipset to speed CPU-intensive encrypt/decrypt processes, as well as built-in compression for all traffic. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
