There is also the fact to consider that Cisco has said there will be no support for Windows 64-bit on their IPSEC client, they are pushing people to the AnyConnect (An SSL-based clientless IPSEC) who want to use Windows 64-bit or other OSs, so in the future the argument for having a separate box for client-based IPSEC will be moot.

It defaults to using IPsec and if that is not supported then it will fall back to SSL. Of course, NC is not as secure as W-SAM, J-SAM, or Core Access in terms of role and resource granularity control but the support for IPsec is absolutely there. HTHs.

Cisco's ASA does, but it's less feature-rich in the SSL VPN arena. The Juniper was the most mature and flexible of all the offerings we looked at, but also the most expensive, and it's not perfect either. Having migrated from Cisco's 3000 series appliances, the current SSL VPNs are a totally different mindset and about two orders of magnitude more complicated. Have a very good understanding of exactly what problem you're trying to solve with the product and what kind of policies and requirements you have to meet, or it's going to be a mess. I can answer more specific questions on our experiences and testing off-list. -- Toivo Voll University of South Florida Information Technology Communications -----Original Message----- From: Chris Campbell [mailto:Chris.Campbell () nebulassolutions com] Sent: Friday, March 05, 2010 11:36 AM To: Dawood Iqbal Cc: nanog () nanog org Subject: Re: Best VPN Appliance The Juniper SA is by far and away the market leader and in my opinion the best end user experience.

Requirements are; SSL IPSec Client and Web VPN support (Win/MAC/iPhone/Android) If webvpn is used, then when any user connects via webvpn, we shouldbe ableto re-direct him to any and ONLY specific application i.e SAP. If 2 boxes are installed then they should replicate data seamlessly. Regards, dISent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
