Easy to Connect and Use, NETGEAR's Standards-Based SSL VPN Delivers High Performance and Secure Access to Network Resources for Up to 25 Concurrent Remote Users
Rotterdam, 3 mei 2006 - NETGEAR, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTGR), a worldwide provider of technologically advanced, branded networking products, today announced the launch of the ProSafe(tm) SSL VPN Concentrator 25 SSL312, an affordable and reliable SSL VPN Solution for small- and mid-sized businesses under 100 users.
The ProSafe SSL312 provides secure remote access to the corporate network using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the popular e-commerce protocol, eliminating the need to install special client software on the remote computer.
The SSL312 provides anytime, anywhere remote access to mobile users, enabling them to connect securely to the corporate network using any computer, from locations such as an authorized partner location, a home, or even a kiosk, using a standard Web browser. The SSL312 provides seamless secure access to corporate applications such as email, office productivity products, and remote management applications, satisfying the remote access needs for mobile users on the go. Features such as SSL over VPN enable companies to provide even more seamless access to corporate resources via a lightweight cross-platform download that is pushed transparently by SSL312 to the users' desktop or laptop.
The easy-to-use Web interface ensures privacy and security requirements are maintained by providing automatic cache clean up after session termination. With granular policy configuration tools, extensive logging support and diagnostics, the SSL312 provides IT administrators with complete control over remote network access.
"The introduction of the SSL312 is another example of how NETGEAR takes enterprise-centric remote access solutions and tailors them to the needs of the SMB sector," stated Vivek Chugh, product line manager at NETGEAR. "With the continued growth of the mobile workforce among companies in our target segment, the ProSafe SSL312 is the first in the family of SSL VPN products that focuses on increasing the productivity of mobile users by providing, a cost-effective clientless remote access solution while seamlessly integrating with the existing network infrastructure. With unmatched SSL VPN processing throughput, an easy-to-use interface and using industry's strongest encryption algorithms to ensure privacy of data, the ProSafe SSL312 provides robust business-class performance and access control at an SMB price point."
The ProSafe SSL VPN Concentrator 25 SSL312, the industry's most cost-effective all-in-one SSL VPN solution with no licensing restrictions, comes with two 10/100 Ethernet ports and a console port for remote manageability. The SSL312, which ensures data privacy with SSLv3 and TLSv1.0 with AES-256, supports 25 concurrent SSL VPN sessions, enabling remote users to securely access resources using standard web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Apple Safari. In addition to integrating with a broad range of user repositories, such as Microsoft Active Directory, LDAP, and RADIUS, for user authentication, the SSL312 interoperates with third party firewalls and works seamlessly with NETGEAR's ProSafe line of VPN Firewall Routers to provide a complete security solution.
The NETGEAR ProSafe SSL VPN Concentrator 25 SSL312 is backed by a 3-year warranty and 24/7 technical support. Optional NETGEAR ProSupport service offerings include advanced technical support (OnCall 24x7) and next business day hardware replacement (XPressHW).
