Solution Summary
The Nortel Networks VPN Gateway 3050 is a remote access security solution that extends the reach of
enterprise applications and resources to remote employees, partners, and customers. By using the
native capability of widely deployed Web browsers, the SSL VPN Gateway offers a convenient clientless
alternative for securely provisioning resources for remote users, without the need to install and manage
client tunneling software on their PCs.
Due to the clientless nature of this solution, Strong two factor authentication is essential to ensure the
identity of users connecting to your Enterprise from the internet. For this reason, Nortel Networks VPN
Gateway 3050 provides support for the RSA Authentication Manager as a method of strong
authentication for users using RSA SecurID Authentication.
For enterprises maintaining IPsec VPN environments, the Nortel VPN Gateway 3050 provides a new
level of deployment flexibility and end-user support by incorporating IPsec VPN client termination to
remove the network administrator's challenge of managing multiple devices to deliver both types of
remote access service.
