Clientless Connectivity »
The Internet has made it possible for remote workers to travel the world and still have access to the network, from virtually anyplace in the world. Your authorized employees, partners or trusted clients can use SonicWALL SSL VPN to securely plug into your network from home, the road, or even from on top of a remote mountain retreat. It doesn't matter, as long as there's Internet access and a Web browser available. more info »
NetExtender Technology »
The beauty of SSL VPN is that it does not require a "fat" client to be installed on each remote workstation. This allows for a much greater level of flexibility and a much broader level of access. Using a standard Web browser, remote users launch a personalized Web portal for access to e-mail, files, applications, and internal Web sites (Intranet). There are some applications where a fat client may bring some advantages, however, and IPSec may be used especially in areas where there are only a smaller number of remote workstations that are tightly controlled and managed by the IT administrator. The advantage of the client-based VPN system is that a greater level of access can be allowed. Now, users can have the best of both worlds with SonicWALL NetExtender technology. more info »
Personalized Portal »
The personalized portal serves two purposes; first, it displays only those assets that each user is authorized to access based on corporate policy, and second, it provides an easy to use interface to make the end-user experience simple and straightforward. more info »
Remote Application Support »
The SonicWALL SSL VPN provides access to virtually any application, providing remote end users with the broadest level of access of any SSL VPN solution. Many corporations already publish applications via Citrix® servers or Microsoft Terminal servers within the corporate network. The SonicWALL SSL VPN extends access to these applications beyond the corporate network to remote users. more info »
RDP/VNC Remote Desktop Support »
SonicWALL SSL VPN's RDP and VNC bookmarks provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional remote control and access products. Using these types of bookmarks in the Web portal, remote users gain access and full remote control of their desktop at the corporate office, without having to have a full installation of separate client software. more info »
File Shares Access »
File shares give remote users a secure Web interface to Microsoft File Shares, through the Common Internet File System (CIFS) or Server Message Block (SMB) protocols. File Shares has an interface that is similar to Microsoft's Network Neighborhood and My Network Places interface. It permits users that have the appropriate authorization to browse through network shares, and rename, delete, retrieve, and upload files, and to create bookmarks for later use. more info »
Context-Sensitive Help »
The SonicWALL SSL VPN appliance's Web-based administrative interface and the end-user portal have context-sensitive help throughout, so users and administrators can get help when they need it, in real time. Help icons and context-sensitive Help buttons increase usability. The help icons link directly to relevant sections of the online administrator guide, which is centrally hosted by SonicWALL. more info »
Seamless Integration »
Regardless of whether you choose a SonicWALL gateway appliance or a third-party firewall, remote access is as easy as can be. Because the SSL VPN appliance operates separate from the firewall function, the SonicWALL SSL VPN series is compatible with virtually any firewall on the market. And unlike other VPN solutions, there is no "fat" client requirement for the workstation. The remote worker only needs to have a standard Web browser; from there, they simply log into their personalized SSL VPN Web portal to gain access to e-mail, files, applications, or internal Web sites. more info »
Concurrent User Tunnels »
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) works by creating encrypted tunnels through the Internet, allowing remote users to establish a connection to headquarters without having to deploy a costly private line solution. In an SSL VPN, these tunnels are stateless—they can be created in real time, and they last only for the duration of the connection. more info »
Easy Web Management »
The Web Management Interface is simple to deploy and manage. The easy-to-use GUI makes configuration, monitoring and updating the appliance and user policies easy and straightforward. In addition, the administrator can take advantage of the granular policy configuration capabilities to gain complete control over user access to resources. more info »
Policy Configuration »
The concept of the SSL VPN is to allow remote users to gain access to the network from any location. But all users are different. Traveling executives may need access to sensitive corporate data, while at the same time, you may wish to allow a partner access to the VPN, but want to restrict that partner's access to only viewing an inventory database. SonicWALL SSL VPN appliances work at the application layer and therefore allow you to lock down each remote user to specific applications and resources, to prevent unauthorized access, and to make sure that those users have access to only what is allowed by corporate policy. more info »
Enhanced Layered Security »
The SonicWALL SSL VPN appliance can be deployed with virtually any firewall successfully. But when deployed with a SonicWALL network security appliance, you get enhanced layered security and deep packet inspection technology, to fully inspect all traffic for content-based threats such as viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware and other malicious threats. more info »
Tokenless Two-Factor Authentication »
One of the many enhanced features found in SonicWALL SSL VPN is end-user authentication, which is provided through an internal database or through integration with one of many dynamic authentication methods, including Vasco, RSA1, Active Directory, RADIUS and LDAP. In addition, all appliances offer tokenless two factor authentication as part of the standard feature set. more info »
SonicWALL® Virtual Assist »
SonicWALL Virtual Assist1 opens up the possibility for a technician to provide on-demand technical assistance for laptop or desktop issues to a customer via a Web browser. The elimination of the need to pre-install a "fat" client makes the experience less frustrating and time consuming for both parties. This results in faster time-to-resolution thereby increasing customer satisfaction as well as technician productivity. The end result is an opportunity to grow your business. This appliance-based solution is distinguished by the fact that it seamlessly integrates into an existing network and authentication infrastructure. The solution does not require complicated policies to be set on your primary firewall or Unified Threat Management (UTM) gateway devices. Additionally, granular policy controls on the SSL VPN appliance can be used to enforce local or external authentication for technicians. more info »
Extras
1Virtual Assist is a licensed add-on module and available only for SSL-VPN 2000 and SSL-VPN 4000 appliances.
