The SonicWALL SSL-VPN 4000 provides organizations of all sizes with an affordable, simple and secure clientless remote network and application access solution that requires no pre-installed client software.

Utilizing only a standard Web browser, users can easily and securely access e-mail, files, intranets, applications and other resources on the corporate LAN from any location. Because there’s no need for a pre-installed or “fat” VPN client, you’re freed from the tasks of deploying, configuring and updating software, reducing maintenance and support costs. Additionally, granular access controls enable you to extend connectivity beyond your organization by providing trusted partners and customers with remote access to specific and defined resources. SonicWALL SSL-VPN solutions integrate seamlessly into virtually any network topology to deliver powerful, scalable and affordable remote access to corporate resources.

The SSL-VPN 4000 integrates seamlessly into any network topology and can be easily deployed alongside almost any third-party firewall as a secure remote access solution. This enables you to leverage your existing network infrastructure without the need to purchase additional hardware. The benefits don’t stop there, however. When deployed with a SonicWALL Internet security appliance running SonicWALL Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service, the SSL-VPN 4000 enhances network integration and security. Deep packet inspection capabilities in the SonicWALL gateway decontaminate mobile user connections to prevent vulnerabilities and malicious code from being introduced into the corporate network.

The SSL-VPN 4000 makes remote access incredibly simple. Users require only a standard Web browser to launch a personalized Web portal that is unique to that person. From this portal, the user has access to e-mail, files, applications and internal Web sites. For more powerful capabilities such as seamless, secure access to any resource on the corporate network including servers and complex or home-grown applications, the appliance transparently pushes a downloadable thin client called NetExtender to the user's desktop or laptop.

Your organization includes remote users who require varying levels of access to resources on the corporate network. The SSL-VPN 4000 extends secure remote access beyond remote offices and corporate controlled laptops out to network environments and remote computers that are not controlled and managed by the corporate IT department. Built-in granular access controls enable you to provide not only your employees, but also trusted contractors, partners and customers with remote access to specific and defined resources based on company policy.
