NETGEAR Launches SSL VPN Concentrator

NETGEAR introduced an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) VPN solution for small- and mid-sized businesses under 100 users. The ProSafe SSL312 provides 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, 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. The unit has a list price of $545. http://www.netgear.com
