E N D
What to sell • Access Solutions • Remote Access • Partner and Branch Office Access • Performance, Scalability & Capacity • Virtual Portal • AAA • High Availability -- SSF • Array Business Continuity Plan
Remote Access • Focus On: • Network Level Access – L3 VPN • Sell With Caution: • WRM – Expect to encounter application specific issues. • OK to sell: ClientApp – L4 Access. • We have java version and ActiveX version, but user experience is dramatically different. This will be fixed in SPX-II • ClientApp and L3 will become one Array Client in SPX-II • We will resolve the stability issues we encounter occasionally. • Avoid: • LinkDirect • Fileshare • MailProxy
Network Level Access • Performance and Scalability • 64000 maximum number of tunnels, 12000 concurrent tunnels with 30Kbps • Latest 8.3.1+ improved single tunnel download speed by up to 50% in LAN environment • Working on more optimization to improve the download speed on WAN for as much as 3~5x • Robustness and Reliability • Unique auto-reconnect and IP layer transparency make it possible for applications to survive network interrupts and even switching networks, e.g. from LAN to WLAN • Rich feature set • Broad environment support
Network Level Access Unmatched reliability • Resilient to network interrupts and provides seamless access. Application Connection is maintained even when users switch from LAN to Wi-Fi Without Array, IE download will stop right away. With Array, download will continue when connection is restored. The only thing users may notice is the icon turning yellow then back to red again. User applications are not interrupted.
WRM – new from 8.4.x • WRM may not support all applications “out of the box”, complex applications should be tested first. • New WRM is based on industry leading, standards compliant technology for handling web based content (Firefox parser). • 18 customers in China on new WRM, 91 bugs files, 88 fixed. Bug fix is much easier and faster than before. • Providing instant access to popular web based business applications: • Outlook Web Access 2000, 2003, 2007 • Lotus iNotes • Documentum • Emis, DG Info, other company internal applications • If an application does not work through basic WRM, there are alternative access modes available: • Custom Rewrite rules • Hostname and port based access • Access through L3 client
Standards Compliant • Web standards support: • HTML 4.01, partial HTML 5.0 • JavaScript 1.6 • CSS 1, CSS 2, partial CSS 3 • DOM 1, DOM 2, partial DOM 3 • XML 1.0, XML Namespaces • XSLT 1.0, XPath 1.0 • Web 2.0 support: • Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX • Google Web Toolkit • Yahoo! User Interface Library • JQuery, MochiKit • Not as well supported: VBScript, ActiveX, Flash.
Partner & Branch Access -- SiteDirect • Pain Free Deployment • IP Conflict • NAT/Firewall Issues • Only necessary resources are exposed to remote • Improvements • Clustering issue with SiteDirect • Tunnel IPSec and other IP protocols • Performance • What about providing user level control to SiteDirect access – user is required to login and will see the remote resource on the portal page?
Virtual Portal • Different groups have different needs – customization, resources, access control and administration. • Array’s unique virtualization technology allows the separation of resources, configuration, and administration. • Up to 256 fully customizable virtual portals allow customers to satisfy the needs of all groups with self-contained configuration and management. • Delegation of management privileges to virtual portal administrators provides flexibility and improves productivity • Clear concept, simple management, no mistakes.
AAA • Supports all standard industry authentication methods • Active Directory, LDAP, RADIUS, Local Auth Database, dual factor and more • RSA certified • Advance client-side certificate-based authentication • Allow separated authorization server different from authentication server to provide flexibility in complicated environment • AAA server ranking allows up to 4 different authentication settings for each virtual portal • Support RADIUS accounting and a wide range of auditing requirements. • MAC, HDD or User SID based login
High Availability -- Clustering • Stateful Session Failover • Session information mirrored across Array systems • In the event of an incident, users failover to standby or another active unit • In most cases, failover is transparent to users, no service interrupt • Configuration synchronized at run time • Build-in dispatcher allows Active-Active configuration without additional hardware SPX-Active SPX-Active SPX-Active SPX-Active Internal Application Internal Application
Array Business Continuity (ABC) • Pre-Paid License to cost-effectively provision user base • Enables concurrent user surges up to hardware capacity • Requires no IT intervention – automatically allows bursting. Extra users log in seamlessly during emergencies • One-time license fee allows bursting for any 10 days (10 x 24 hours)
Summary • Uninterrupted Remote Access through Network Level Access and WRM • Unmatched Performance, Scalability and Capacity • Up to 256 easy managing Virtual Portals • Flexible AAA and Advanced High Availability • Guaranteed Business Continuity Access, Security, Performance, Innovation and Peace of Mind All in one Array SPX Appliance
Additional Details • Network Level Access • WRM • SiteDirect • Virtual Portal • ABC
Network Level Access Leadership • Unbeatable capacity • Maximum 64,000 concurrent tunnels • 12,000 concurrent active tunnels with minimum 30Kbps throughput each. • Strong Performance leadership • High aggregate throughput • Fast tunnel establishment • Low or no impact on latency • Fast download speed for single user and multiple concurrent users • Low CPU utilization • Unmatched Reliability • Network interruption is common. Array VPN client detects and handles network interruption smoothly without impacting user applications. • Users can switch networks, such as when moving from a wired to a wireless network, without disrupting any application connections.
Testimony VPN Access - The Way It Should Be IT is unavoidably the perfect target for peoples' complaints – always has been always will be. But the fact is that I'm sitting here in a somewhat remote area of Thailand at one of our provider's factories and have been logged into the latest web-based VPN solution for hours ..... With zero incident. This is unheard-of in my travel experiences. While no tool is absolutely perfect, in the software/IT world, this one is far closer than most of the others I have encountered. Having traveled throughout Asia extensively for the last 7 years, I cannot begin to describe the mountain of frustrations and countless hours that have been lost due to connectivity. Just earlier in the year I was sitting at this same table with 3 IT reps from this factory who worked unsuccessfully for hours to get me into the then Nortel VPN solution. The stability, consistency of access and ease of use of this new tool is what prompted me to write this. It will take a long time for me to get over the noticeable difference this has made and start taking it for granted. To you and all those involved in choosing and implementing this solution (please forward along): THANK YOU!!!!!!
