Access Solution -- External Partners

Connecting external partners securely and cost effectively with Instant Virtual Extranet

Extranets offer the significant advantage of requiring no client-side hardware and software, which in itself is a great cost saving and convenience. Unlike VPNs, extranets require only a standard Web browser and credentials to access secure network resources.



The problem with extranets is that, by nature, they are custom implementations, so they are expensive to deploy and difficult to scale. To build an extranet in the DMZ, you need hardened Web and policy servers, authentication and access control software; and you need to enlist the help of programmers to define and develop every implementation. And each time a new service or application is extended to the extranet, the cost continues to climb.




AMA partners with Juniper Network to make Instant Virtual Extranet realty. Companies can now securely project selected internal network resources (applications, Intranet etc.) to a defined group of external users over the Internet using SSL VPN technology. The solution lets you instantly extend secure access to corporate resources to authorized employees or corporate partners via a standard Web browser, with no changes to your existing LAN infrastructure.
