SA2000 Overview:
Juniper Networks SA Series appliances lead the SSL virtual private network
(VPN) market with a complete range of remote access appliances, including the
SA200, SA400, and SA6000. Juniper Networks SA Series appliances combine the
security of SSL with standards-based access controls, granular policy creation,
and unparalleled flexibility. The result provides ubiquitous security for all
enterprise tasks with options for increasingly stringent levels of access
control to protect the most sensitive applications and data. Juniper Networks SA
Series appliances deliver lower total cost of ownership over traditional IPsec
client solutions and unique end-to-end security features.
The Juniper Networks SA2000, SA4000, and SA6000 SSL VPN Appliances meet the
needs of companies of all sizes. SA Series appliances are based on the Instant
Virtual Extranet (IVE) platform, which uses SSL, the security protocol found in
all standard Web browsers. The use of SSL eliminates the need for pre-installed
client software deployment, changes to internal servers, and costly ongoing
maintenance and desktop support. SA Series appliances also offer sophisticated
partner/customer extranet features that enable controlled access to
differentiated users and groups with no infrastructure changes, no DMZ
deployments, and no software agents.
