The Juniper Networks SA 6500 SSL VPN is purpose-built for large enterprises and service providers. It features best-in-class performance, scalability and redundancy for organizations with high-volume secure access and authorization requirements. The SA 6500 hardware platform is designed to scale to the largest enterprise deployments and to optimize application delivery, with redundant, hot-swappable hard disks and fans, optional second power supply, as well as multiple Ethernet ports for redundant or meshed configurations. The SA 6500 appliance also features a hardware-based SSL acceleration module to speed CPU-intensive encrypt/decrypt processes, as well as built-in compression for all traffic.
The SA 6500 uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), available in all Web browsers, as a means of secure transport. This appliance enables the enterprise to provide remote access to mobile employees and contractors without deploying client software, as well as secure extranet or intranet access with no DMZ build-out, server hardening, Web agent deployments or ongoing maintenance.
