Cyberoam has announced the integration of its SSL VPN solution on a virtual VMware platform, besides offering it as a dedicated appliance and through an installer on customer machines.

Tushar Sighat, VP – Operations, Cyberoam-India said, “In our offering of VMware-based virtual appliances, customers get a virtual SSL VPN machine, available as a downloadable image, which obviates the need to buy a hardware appliance. This helps them reduce the total cost of ownership and at the same time, easily perform any future upgrades by simple reallocation of their existing physical resources for the virtual appliance.”

Cyberoam says its SSL VPN solutions allows browser-based access to geographically-distributed networks through common web browsers, with an “in-office” experience for internal applications including Microsoft Outlook, Intranets, web applications, FTP and more. The company says that local desktops and laptops can securely traverse existing UTMs/firewalls in the network to access remote data services, without any risk of exposing the confidential information to hackers.
