The Juniper Networks Secure Access 6000 (SA 6000) SSL VPN is designed for medium to large enterprises and features best-in-class performance, scalability, and redundancy for organizations with high-volume secure access and authorization requirements. The SA 6000 hardware platform is designed to scale to the largest enterprise deployments and to optimize application delivery, with available options that include redundant hot swappable hard disks, power supplies and fans, as well as GBIC-based multiple Ethernet ports for redundant or meshed configurations. The SA 6000 also features a state-of-the-art SSL acceleration chipset to speed CPU-intensive encrypt/decrypt processes, as well as built in compression for all traffic.Like all products built on the IVE platform, the SA 6000 uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), available in all Web browsers, as a means of secure transport. This enables the enterprise to provide remote access to mobile employees and contractors without deploying client software, as well as secure extranet or intranet access with no DMZ build-out, server hardening, Web agent deployments, or ongoing maintenance.
