DATASHEET SA Series SSL VPN Appliances SA2500, SA4500, SA6500 Product Overview Juniper Networks SA Series SSL VPN Appliances provide a complete range of remote access appliances for all size companies, as well as Juniper Networks SA Series SSL VPN Virtual Appliances (see separate datasheet). The SA Series includes Juniper Networks Junos Pulse, which provides a simple, intuitive enabling user interface that provides secure, authenticated access for mobile and remote users from any web-enabled device The SA Series combines the security of SSL with standards-based access controls, granular policy creation, and unparalleled flexibility. The result is ubiquitous security for all enterprise tasks, with options for increasingly stringent access control to protect the most sensitive applications and data, and deliver lower total cost of ownership over traditional IPsec client solutions. Product Description The Juniper Networks® SA2500, SA4500, and SA6500 SSL VPN Appliances meet the needs of companies of all sizes. SA Series SSL VPN Appliances use SSL, the security protocol found in all standard Web browsers. The use of SSL eliminates the need for pre-installed client software, changes to internal servers, and costly ongoing maintenance and desktop support. The SA Series also offers sophisticated partner/customer extranet features that enable controlled access to differentiated users and groups without requiring infrastructure changes, demilitarized zone (DMZ) deployments, or software agents. The SA Series includes Juniper Networks Junos® Pulse, a dynamic, integrated, multiservice network interface for mobile and nonmobile devices. Junos Pulse enables optimized, accelerated, anytime, anywhere access to corporate networks, clouds, and the data they hold. Junos Pulse enables secure SSL access from a wide range of mobile and nonmobile devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop PCs, as well as Wi-Fi or 3G/4G and Long Term Evolution (LTE)-enabled devices. Junos Pulse delivers enterprises improved productivity and secure, ubiquitous access to corporate applications and data— anytime, anywhere. Architecture and Key Components The SA2500 SSL VPN Appliance enables small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to deploy granular, cost-effective mobile and remote network and cloud access, as well as intranet security and business continuity in case of disaster or emergency. Users can access the corporate resources and applications from any endpoint device over the Web. The SA2500 offers high availability (HA) with seamless user failover. And because the SA2500 runs the exact same software as the larger SA4500 and SA6500, even smaller organizations gain the same high performance, administrative flexibility, and end user experience. The SA4500 SSL VPN Appliance enables mid- to large-sized organizations to provide efficient, role-based corporate network, cloud, and application access to mobile and remote employees, as well as authorized contractors and partners, requiring only a Web browser connected to the Internet. The SA4500 features rich access privilege management functionality that can be used to create secure customer/partner extranets and to enable secure access to the corporate intranet, so that employees and other authorized users can use the same access means but with differentiated, role-based access while still adhering to enterprise security policies. Built-in compression for all traffic types speeds performance, and SSL acceleration is available for more demanding environments. The SA4500 also offers HA with seamless user failover. 1
