FirePass™
Clientless Secure
Remote Access
Organisations
employing IPSec VPNs (Virtual Private Networks)
to try to solve their remote access challenges
have had to contend with issues regarding IP addressing,
network address translation, limited remote device
support, software installation and maintenance,
and especially user frustration at being unable
to reliably access the information and applications
they need, using any device, from any location.
F5's
FirePass™ device provides a Web-based alternative,
enabling companies to extend secure remote access
to anyone connected to the Internet - with no
special software or configuration on the remote
device, and with no additions or modifications
to the back-end resources being accessed. This
approach eliminates the IPSec VPN support burden,
and adds more application access to e-mail, legacy
applications, and remote control of desktop PCs
via any standard Web browser.
