NETGEAR announces new SSL VPN Concentrator 25 appliance

NETGEAR announced the availability of the ProSafe SSL VPN Concentrator 25 (SSL312), an easy-to-use and reliable SSL VPN Solution that delivers clientless, secure remote access to network resources for small- and mid-sized businesses under 100 users.

NETGEAR’s new appliance comes with two 10/100 Ethernet ports and a console port for remote manageability. The SSL312’s advanced features include SSL support for security and privacy, granular policy configuration tools for complete control over individual user access, and a clientless architecture that eliminates the high cost of installing, configuring and maintaining client software.

The ProSafe SSL VPN Concentrator 25 (SSL312) which ensures data privacy with SSLv3 and TLSv1.0 with AES-256, cryptographic hash algorithms such as MD5 and SHA-1 and optional automatic cache cleanup after session termination to ensure privacy of data, supports 25 concurrent remote users to securely access resources using standard web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Apple Safari. In addition to integrating with a broad range of user repositories, such as Microsoft Active Directory, LDAP, and RADIUS, for user authentication, the SSL312 interoperates with standard based firewalls including NETGEAR’s ProSafe line of VPN Firewall Routers to provide a complete security solution.

The appliance is available now via leading direct marketers, e-commerce sites, and value-added resellers at a list price of $545.
