Key Highlights
The corporate environment is no longer defined by walls, cubicles, or geographic location. Today, with a computer and Internet connectivity, corporate offices can be in any location, operating 24x7. Sun Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access software delivers secure Internet or extranet access to both internal portals and intranet applications through any Java technology-enabled browser. The Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access provides key portal services, including aggregation, presentation, security, personalization, integration, community, policy, access management, and single-sign-on -- anywhere. The Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access is an open standards, Internet- or extranet-based remote access solution that provides authorized access to resources behind the corporate firewall from any Java technology- enabled browser -- easily and inexpensively. It can increase return on investment (ROI) by extending the value of internal resources through remote connectivity. By delivering secure access to personalized portal information over any Internet or extranet connection, the Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access eliminates the administration and maintenance of client-side remote access software while enhancing user productivity. Increase Accessibility, Save Time, and Decrease Deployment CostThe Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access enables mobile employees, telecommuters, knowledge workers, business partners, suppliers, and customers to access their personalized portals from anywhere outside the corporate network. And because it is Internet or extranet based, the Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access does not require client-side software installation, management, or configuration. By providing a solution based on an Internet connection as opposed to a costly virtual private network (VPN) or private dial-up line, the Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access helps lower remote access costs and minimizes investments in dedicated modems, remote access appliances, WATS (800 toll-free number) calls, and related management and user support costs. In addition, patented Java technology allows existing applications, content, files, and services to go online without the need to rewrite or modify the code. With a minimal client and connectivity investment (a Web browser and an Internet connection), an enterprise or service provider can easily create low-cost extranets on the fly. Resources can also be securely extended to wireless devices such as PDAs and cellular phones by utilizing Java System Portal Server Mobile Access services in conjunction with the Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access. Leverage the Internet While Utilizing a Common InfrastructureCombining secure remote Internet access with portal and identity management enables reusability of common components across portals while at the same time increasing the security and usability of the portal. The Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access delivers portal, identity, and directory capabilities in a single comprehensive solution, eliminating the need to integrate and manage these capabilities as separate products. Having a common infrastructure of identity information decreases the likelihood of data inconsistencies and reduces the occurrence of redundancies. It also helps lower costs through the use of shared components. Standards-Based Privacy and Security Over an Extranet or the InternetAs the need for remote access to portal information, applications, files, content, and services situated behind corporate firewalls grows, concerns about network security also grow. Built on open, Internet standards, the Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access addresses these security and privacy concerns. The Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access delivers encryption through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS). Users log on from any available browser, enter their Web URL address, and then enter their user identification. User authentication is handled over an encrypted SSL or TLS channel between the Web browser and the Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access gateway. Authentication is proxied by the gateway, which then uses the Java System Access Manager to request and confirm authentication of the user. Once authenticated, the user is presented with a personalized portal. To ensure privacy and protection of data, all content, applications, files, and services transferred between the user and the Java System Portal Server continue to be encrypted through the use of standards-based cryptography technologies such as RC4, DES, 3DES, and AES. In addition, a dynamic client-side proxy applet -- or proxylet -- makes the Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access even more efficient in its role as an intelligent gatekeeper to the network and the enterprise portal. The proxylet ensures that all network traffic is authorized as well as secure, and does so without requiring the overhead of URL inspection and rewriting -- increasing throughput through the gateway and speeding the delivery of content out to remote users. And because the Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access is built on open standards, remote users can seamlessly adopt newer and faster Internet or extranet access technologies such as cable modems, DSL, ISDN, and more. Simplified Administration and Maintenance OverheadBecause the Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access requires no client-side software, administrators are freed from time-consuming distribution, configuration, maintenance, and management of client-side, remote access applications. Server-side administration is handled through a browser-based management console. Centralizing and using the management console to administer the portal and its secure remote access and identity services removes administrative complexities. This common console can also be employed across multiple portals and secure remote access gateways - saving time, management, and administration costs. The Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access supports delegated portal administration to other users or line-of-business (LOB) administrators within or even outside the organization. This empowers content and business owners, and reduces IT bottlenecks. It also delivers the high flexibility administrators require for fine-grained control of users, sessions, identity management, and various portal components. Delivers a Scalable, Reliable, High-Availability SolutionThe Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access leverages its Sun heritage in building scalable, highly available, and reliable products. Horizontal and vertical scalability enable organizations to support more users without sacrificing performance. And, a no-single-point-of-failure architecture helps to ensure accessibility and uptime, while enhancements to memory and cache management improve performance. Mature and ProvenWith hundreds of customers worldwide, the Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access is a mature and proven product. Many customers are deploying multiple portals across their organizations using the Java System Portal Server today. It is just as capable running an enterprise as it is running a service provider portal that serves many thousands of requests. In the portal market, the Java System Portal Server is an acknowledged leader.
