NeoAccel, a pioneering innovator of next-generation Internet security solutions, introduced its flagship product, SSL VSN-Plus, the only security platform to eliminate the barriers that have kept SSL VPNs from replacing IPSec VPNs. The company's patent-pending Intelligent Connection Acceleration ArchitectureT (ICAA) enables OEMs to deliver full-application secure access with LAN-like performance for mobile users and wireless LANS - without the complexities associated with IPSec VPNs..
"NeoAccel's SSL VSN-Plus eliminates the TCP-over-TCP meltdown and context-switching problems that devastate the performance and scalability of conventional SSL VPNs," said Michel Susai, chairman and CEO of NeoAccel. "SSL VSN-Plus is the first network platform that enables secure, full-application access for mobile users and wireless LANs without the administration headaches of IPSec VPNs."
Susai is the founder and former chairman and CEO of NetScaler where he invented and pioneered the patented Request SwitchingT technology that accelerates application delivery to handle the bulk of today's commercial Web traffic. Google, Yahoo!, Ticketmaster, Microsoft's Internet properties and many others rely on Susai's fundamental innovation to operate and protect the world's highest-traffic websites.
NeoAccel will deliver SSL VSN-Plus as an OEM-friendly platform that enables suppliers of firewalls, VPNs and other edge-facing devices to deliver the functional benefits of conventional IPSec VPNs with the ease of use and zero-client administration of SSL VPNs. NeoAccel's SSL VSN-Plus architecture is based on the company's patent-pending ICAA technology, which eliminates the congestion-driven TCP-over-TCP meltdown and performance-sapping context switching associated with conventional SSL VPNs. The results are fewer dropped sessions and a vastly improved, consistent and more secure user experience. SSL VSN-Plus™ provides complete application support, finely grained access control and administration, enterprise-class scalability and strong encryption, such as 256-bit AES.
Currently, NeoAccel delivers SSL VSN-Plus on three families of hardware platforms, suitable for enterprise, small and medium-sized business (SMB) or small office/home office (SOHO). For the enterprise, SSL VSN-Plus supports high-end x86 platforms from Intel and AMD with high-performance crypto acceleration co-processor from Cavium and others. For SMB, SSL VSN-Plus supports VIA, Intel's XScale and MIPS core platforms. For SOHO, SSL VSN-Plus supports VIA and system on chip (SoC) processors including Cavium's new family SoC processors, including the CN201, CN220 and others. NeoAccel's operating environment is easily extensible to run all custom applications from the OEM. Also, NeoAccel's XML RPC-based management framework and web interfaces allow the platform to extent and integrate into the OEM's existing management framework.
"Mindbrook customers demand the highest level of security for remote Internet access to their business data stored on Mindbrook servers," said Michael Hulme, vice president of business development for Mindbrook. "We decided to go with NeoAccel's SSL VSN-Plus because it eliminates the TCP-over-TCP meltdown problem that cripples the performance of conventional SSL VPNs, particularly when our customers access the Internet via WLANs. NeoAccel delivers a much more reliable and higher-throughput secure access solution than conventional SSL VPNs."
RagingWire Enterprise Solutions (RES), an enterprise IT managed services and solutions provider, is evaluating NeoAccel's SSL VSN-Plus for potential additions to its Managed Security Services (MSS). "As regulatory pressures increase the demand for more reliable and scalable VPNs, RES is continuing to access best-of-breed technologies that allow enterprise companies to increase network scalability and security without compromising performance," said Yatish Mishra, president and CTO of RES. "NeoAccel's SSL VSN-Plus and Intelligent Connection Acceleration Architecture provide an SSL solution that has the potential of offering highly scalable, next-generation VPN solutions that increase the high level of reliability and security needed to meet the current and future requirements of our enterprise customers."
NeoAccel's SSL VSN-Plus platform architecture leverages NeoAccel's patent-pending ICAA technology for streamlined, network-layer performance using a standard, small-footprint gateway equipped with off-the-shelf processors, a vanilla RedHat kernel and optional SSL acceleration hardware. As a result. NeoAccel's SSL VSN-Plus platform architecture is ideally well suited for integration and deployment as part of vendors' existing solutions. SSL VSN-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 without TCP-over-TCP meltdown problems even in congested WAN and wireless LAN environments. Initially, SSL VSN-Plus supports more than 20,000 concurrent sessions, 1,700 new user logins per second and greater than 950 Mbps throughput. |
