Array Networks has announced a new version of its Array SP secure Web management platform. The new Array SP (Security Proxy) delivers remote access to Web applications for partners, customers, employees and remote workers based on trusted encryption, authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA). One SSL-based secure access solution from Array supports up to 5,000 SSL transactions per second and 32,000 concurrent user sessions and can be configured in high-availability clusters consisting of up to 32 Array SP devices.

The Array SP provides a unified view of enterprise Web services. Whether the partner, customer, supplier, remote worker or employee is coming from the Internet or the corporate network, the view of the applications, the authentication process and even the URL remain identical. Rather than providing different access methods for different classes of users, the Array SP provides a simplified point of entry that works for all users, all the time. The Array SP handles all access requests over encrypted SSL connections from any standard Web browser, requiring authentication before granting service access, and permitting the application or user to access only authorized Web services while logging all user activity.

The Array SP has received RSA BSAFE SSL-C protocol compatibility certification. The Array products received RSA Security BSAFE SSL-C certification based on 15 test scenarios. The certification ensures that Array SP and Array product families provide SSL encryption for any Web browser or commercial Web server implementing RSA BSAFE SSL-C software. traffic
