BANGALORE: Aventail Corporation, the leading SSL VPN product company has introduced the Aventail EX-750, its latest SSL VPN appliance tailored to small to mid-size companies or departments with up to 50 concurrent users.

The Aventail EX-750 is a full-featured, clientless SSL VPN appliance, providing anywhere access to a wide range of applications, while ensuring security, ease of use, and controlled costs. For the first time, it gives smaller enterprises the advantages of Aventail's award-winning, mature technology and eight years of experience with Fortune 500 companies.

“The Aventail EX-750 is exactly what companies need to give their employees clientless remote access with low cost and ease of administration,” said Muthu Kumar M, MD-Aventail India. “The ease of use and security Aventail provides is not a luxury for small and mid-size companies but really a business requirement for them to successfully compete.”

As with Aventail's other SSL VPN appliances, the EX-750 is built on Aventail's proven ASAPTM (Anywhere Secure Access Policy) Platform, which integrates industry leading application access, policy management, and End Point Control (EPC) functions. Aventail's EPC functions include advanced cache cleaning and other data protection and client integrity capabilities. The Aventail EX-750 features an intuitive Web-based user interface for administrators to define and manage policy and perform essential management tasks, making it easier to manage and requiring less support from IT staff or vendors.

The Aventail EX-750 also provides access to a broad range of applications, including Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, SAP, Peoplesoft, Oracle, Citrix, and others.
