•Our enterprise IPSec solution addresses the needs of customers who require on-site VPN equipment, end-to-end encrypted tunneling and remote access capabilities bundled with value-add IP services.

•Our network-based VPN offerings (Services Edge Router 5500 and Passport 7000/15000/20000 Multiservice Switches) enable service providers to offer VPN service to thousands of customers simultaneously with resultant economies of scale.

•Our Optical Ethernet solutions enable service providers to offer Layer 2 VPNs that provide simple, direct and scalable connectivity between sites using the ubiquitous Ethernet protocol and building on Nortel Networks Optical Metro family of products.

•Our clientless SSL VPN solution enables enterprises to offer secure remote access to private applications using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology of existing web browsers.

 

 

 

 

 

VPN Client

Formerly known as: Contivity Multi-OS VPN Client

Features & Benefits

Product Features

• Provides full user-side functionality for secure access to enterprise networks over IP networks that use Nortel IP access routers and VPN servers.
• Supports virtually all operating systems found in enterprise extranets and remote access networks, including: Windows 2000, NT, ME, XP, Mobile (Pocket PC), IBM-AIX, SUN-Solaris, Linux and Macintosh operating systems.
• Enforces centralized security policies that govern end-user network access, including client bandwidth allocation, access control, encryption types, authentication methods and other key user parameters.
• Triggers automatic denial or termination of client connections if a disallowed action is requested or initiated.
• Enables administrators to easily customize and mass-distribute configurations to end users' desktops, so users don't need to be aware of complex addressing, routing, and security parameters.
• Can be installed 'silently' with no user installation of software or hardware on access devices; 'client auto-launch' capability automatically invokes a secure VPN connection when the user connects to a specific network, service, or application covered by security policy.
• Supports load-balancing, failover, and LZS data compression to give end users predictable response times, continuous operation, and speedy performance.
• Integrates with complementary security, authentication, and access control products, such as authentication systems, global dialers, personal firewalls, intrusion-detection systems, and directory solutions from: ISS (Network Ice), Info Express, RSA, Entrust, Verisign, GRIC, iPASS, DataKey, Certicom, Baltimore, Netscape, Novell, Microsoft and many others.
• Demonstrates proven performance in the field, with more than 60 million Nortel VPN Clients deployed since 1998.

Product Benefits

• Fits easily into the typical multi-vendor access network, where end user devices are likely to span multiple operating systems, access speeds, and platform types.
• Eliminates the requirement to distribute and install client software on all access devices, because the client can 'silently' self-install when a session is activated.
• Enables enterprises to establish and enforce centralized security policies to extend remote access without exposing the internal network to unauthorized use.
• Supports easy configuration and mass distribution of configurations to user workstations.
• Optimizes the user experience through load-balancing to eliminate bottlenecks and overload conditions, failover to route around network trouble spots, and data compression to conserve transmission bandwidth and time.
• Enables enterprises to take advantage of best-of-breed security partner products, such as authentication, encryption, and personal firewall systems.
