High Availability
With the new
StoneGate SSL VPN 1.1, the operation of an access point can be fully secured. StoneGate SSL VPN
enables fault-tolerant sessions by allowing two appliances to form a mirrored access-point pair.
By combining StoneGate SSL VPN solution with StoneGate Firewall, including its inbuilt load balancing functionality, you can provide truly available access.
In the unlikely event of access point failure, the end user session can be automatically directed to a functioning access point without any delays or disturbance in end user session.
Back-up configuration is implemented in active-active mode, so that under normal conditions, both appliances act as ordinary SSL VPN access points, sharing the access load and providing additional capacity for the SSL portal. This way every appliance investment can be fully utilized even in backed-up networks.
A secondary access point can also be placed in a different geographical location, thus providing an efficient tool to meet disaster recovery requirements.
