Nortel has addressed the integration and security issues around remote access with a set of new products that integrate into a single network offering security support.
Remote access requires integrated management for seamless network integration and simplified security, says Anton van Bers, product manager at Comztek, a Nortel distributor. He explains that businesses will benefit from using a single virtual private network (VPN) to provide Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) network access.
So without further ado
To this end, Nortel Networks has announced a mobile security framework for new products, together forming a VPN gateway that supports IPSec and SSL remote access. Van Bers says the framework positions companies to drive the cost of remote access down by up to 35%, obviating the need to deploy separate solutions.
"The new Nortel secure mobility framework offers our resellers greater flexibility and a wider range of options to help enterprise customers minimise total cost of ownership. Comztek will help provide tech support, sales support and training."
Nortel also introduced several other products, including a hardware solution that will bring SSL VPN capabilities to the Contivity Secure IP Services Gateway portfolio and VPN gateway, and a new Contivity product that offers IPSec VPNs and firewalls for remote offices. This is in addition to a secure VPN portal solution, and enhancements to existing products that bring security to both wired and wireless local area networks.
