Juniper Networks SSL VPN SA 6000

The Juniper Networks Secure Access 6000 (SA 6000) SSL VPN is designed for medium to large enterprises, and features best-in-class performance, scalability, and redundancy for organizations with high volume secure access and authorization requirements. The SA 6000 hardware platform is designed to scale to the largest enterprise deployments and optimise 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 the creation of separate physical networks and 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.

Like all products built on the Instant Virtual Extranet (IVE) platform, the SA 6000 uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) available in all Web browsers as a means of secure transport. This enables the enterprise to provide remote access to mobile employees and contractors without deploying client software, as well as secure extranet or intranet access with no DMZ buildout, server hardening, Web agent deployments, or ongoing maintenance.

The Secure Access 6000 comes with the streamlined feature set that an enterprise would need to deploy secure remote access, as well as a basic customer/partner extranet or secure intranet. The Advanced license enables additional sophisticated features that meet the needs of more complex deployments with diverse audiences and use cases, as well as Juniper Networks Central Manager.
