Contra Costa Community College District Deploys NeoAccel's SSL VPN Solution

SAN JOSE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 20, 2007 -- NeoAccel, the leader in high-performance SSL VPN security, today announced that the Contra Costa Community College District (4CD) has deployed the company's SSL VPN-Plus solution. SSL VPN-Plus is displacing an IPsec VPN solution, and will provide 4CD's executive administrators, IT staff members and other key employees with secure remote access to applications and online resources with fewer technical problems and at lower cost.

"We previously used an IPsec VPN and ran into many issues with installation and incompatibility, but we didn't want to go to a lower-performing solution," said Katherine Ogden, Network Technology Manager for Contra Costa Community College District. "NeoAccel's SSL VPN-Plus has been a 'fire and forget' solution that has eliminated our IPsec VPN problems without compromising performance. In fact, it delivered an almost immediate return on investment."

Unlike other SSL VPN solutions that would have required the 4CD to purchase "webified" versions of critical applications, NeoAccel's SSL VPN-Plus' small, downloadable client provides remote access to all of the district's standard applications, including Microsoft Exchange. In addition, SSL VPN-Plus offers industry-leading performance for an overall user experience better than the previous IPsec solution. And with clients that can be easily installed by end users without IT assistance, SSL VPN-Plus offers easier administration along with more granular access control and complete end-point validation, which significantly adds user-based security over current IPsec VPN solutions.

SSL VPN-Plus' full endpoint security scans prevent users without updated anti-virus and anti-spam software from accessing critical parts of the network. And unlike IPsec VPNs, NeoAccel's SSL VPN-Plus offers granular user-based network access policy management that allows network administrators to limit network access to specific resources, based on policies specific to the user and the results of an endpoint security check.

"Customers like the Contra Costa Community College District are recognizing that they want the simplicity of SSL VPN technology, but they don't want to give up the performance of IPsec-based solutions," said Michel Susai, Chairman and CEO of NeoAccel. "With our SSL VPN-Plus product, they can have industry-leading performance with lower costs, easier deployment, and simplified administration with significant increase in security."
