Advantage

"Looking to the future, organizations should focus on performance and adaptable security and user administration capabilities that will enable the extension of SSL VPN solutions beyond remote employee access to partners and customers. . . . With the widespread adoption and large-scale deployments (i.e., greater than 1,000 concurrent users) during the next two years, the critical requirements will become scalable management functions (particularly configuration capabilities) and greater system performance/capacity. As with most other security solutions, vendors that balance, security, performance and manageability - and in this case, accessibility to applications as well - will be best positioned to dominate the market." META Group September, 2004

Market Opportunity - Widespread Adoption of SSL VPN Technology

Today's enterprises are migrating from IPSec to SSL VPNs to provide secure access for all individuals - mobile workers, those in remote locations and those using wireless networks within the enterprise. To date, however, IPSec VPNs are primarily used either to provide site-to-site access and for key users with critical security needs, while SSL VPNs have been pigeon-holed as a solution for providing limited access to Web applications for individual users in small-scale deployments. This is because conventional SSL VPNs significantly degrade performance due to TCP-over-TCP meltdown and context-switching problems. This limits the capacity and scalability of existing SSL VPNs using today's standard networking architectures.

Scalable Security Beyond The Edge

NeoAccel™ is a pioneering innovator of next-generation Internet security solutions. NeoAccel's flagship product, SSL VPN-Plus™, is the only security platform to eliminate the barriers that have kept SSL VPNs from replacing IPSec VPNs. With SSL VPN-Plus™, suppliers of firewalls and other edge-facing devices can overcome the performance, scalability and application-access constraints that limit conventional SSL VPNs. NeoAccel's patent-pending Intelligent Connection Acceleration ArchitectureT (ICAA) enables full-application secure access with LAN-like performance for mobile users and wireless LANS - without the complexities associated with IPSec VPNs.

Secure EverythingT - Secure Access From Anywhere To Anything

NeoAccel™ is delivering a breakthrough in simplified secure access technology that enables more businesses to provide secure access to essential information assets without the complexities of IPSec VPNs. By overcoming the limitations of conventional performance-limited Web and network security mechanisms, NeoAccel's SSL VPN-Plus™ delivers for the first time the user experience that enables enterprise security mechanisms to function as designed in congested network environments

Products and Technology - I Connect, You Connect, We Connect

NeoAccel's SSL VPN-Plus™ platform architecture leverages NeoAccel's patent-pending ICAA technology for streamlined, network-layer performance using a standard, small-footprint gateway and optional, off-the-shelf SSL acceleration hardware. As a result. NeoAccel's SSL VPN-Plus™ is ideally well suited for integration and deployment as part of vendors' existing solutions. SSL VPN-Plus™ sessions are click-and-alive with full application support for thin-client, fat-client and legacy applications, no performance-draining context switching, and high capacity even in congested WAN and wireless LAN environments. Initially, SSL VPN-Plus™ supports more than 20,000 concurrent users, 1,700 new user logins per second, and 950 Mbps throughput using a 1 Gbit NIC. Home/SOHO security gateways using SSL VPN-Plus™ with inexpensive, high-volume components and small memory footprints bring the promise of secure access to the world.
