Solution Summary

The Nortel Networks VPN Gateway 3050 is a remote access security solution that extends the reach of enterprise applications and resources to remote employees, partners, and customers. By using the native capability of widely deployed Web browsers, the SSL VPN Gateway offers a convenient clientless alternative for securely provisioning resources for remote users, without the need to install and manage client tunneling software on their PCs.

Due to the clientless nature of this solution, Strong two factor authentication is essential to ensure the identity of users connecting to your Enterprise from the internet. For this reason, Nortel Networks VPN Gateway 3050 provides support for the RSA Authentication Manager as a method of strong authentication for users using RSA SecurID Authentication.

For enterprises maintaining IPsec VPN environments, the Nortel VPN Gateway 3050 provides a new level of deployment flexibility and end-user support by incorporating IPsec VPN client termination to remove the network administrator's challenge of managing multiple devices to deliver both types of remote access service.
