Aventail's Smart Technology SSL VPN is the best-of-breed secure access platform. It is the only SSL VPN to provide one gateway, a common user experience and centralized policy for all devices, users, and resources. Aventail's ST platform leads the market in ease of use and management, application reach, and end point security. It differentiates itself from other SSL and IPSec VPNs in the market with these key elements:

One Gateway for All Remote Access
One gateway extends to mobile devices with Aventail Mobile, which provides the most robust remote access solution for smart phone and PDA users with access optimized for the device. Mobile devices are managed via the same Unified Policy and access is through a common URL. Aventail SSL VPN works over any type of network connection, wired or wireless and the customers can not only secure remote access but also traffic over their wireless LANs.

Smart Tunneling
Smart Tunneling is a revolutionary new technology that combines the power of SSL, with granular access control, true network transparency and universal application reach, including all UDP, TCP, IP protocols, and back-connect applications such as VoIP, without the NAT and firewall traversal issues present in IPSec and other competing VPN products.

Smart Access
Smart Access determines the appropriate method of access by dynamically assessing the type and state of the device, the user, and the location. No competitor can ensure access to any application from any access point without client or server reconfiguration. Aventail can.

Unified Policy
Unified Policy provides centralized management and control of all users, groups, resources, and devices, allowing administrators to establish policy with a single rule set across all these objects. This model is object-oriented, which provides the easiest way for administrators to manage the rules associated with the SSL VPN. Unified Policy makes it possible for organizations to ensure their written security policy is easily enforced.

End Point Control
Aventail's End Point Control is integrated with its Unified Policy and allows administrators to set granular access rules based on the level of trust for an end point.

Aventail was behind the first managed SSL VPN services in 2000 and today dominates the service provider business, with some 95 percent of managed SSL VPN services using the Aventail platform. The EX 750/ST 750 appliance for 10 concurrent users carries a list price of Rs 1.95 lakh.
