    BorderManager Product Flyer

    As customers begin to exploit the Internet as a business tool, manageability, security and performance of their networks become increasingly challenging tasks. Through tight integration with Novell Directory Services™ (NDS™)--the world’s leading cross-platform LDAP directory--BorderManager decreases the cost of managing an intranet and safely extends a customer’s business to the Internet.

    BorderManager is the industry’s first integrated family of directory-based network services that manages, secures and accelerates user access to information at every network border--the point where any two networks meet. Through a single point of administration, you can manage network security policies, protect confidential information, establish user access privileges to Internet content, and reduce WAN connectivity costs. BorderManager significantly improves intranet and Internet access performance, and provides a standards-based performance foundation to support your company's network infrastructure.

    SIMPLIFY NETWORK MANAGEMENT

    Centralized administration of BorderManager services with NDS lets you easily manage your company’s security policies and control user-level (not just IP-level) access to resources and information on the Internet and your corporate network. Through an easy-to-use graphical utility, you can define when and what Internet sites employees can access, restricting those that negatively impact productivity (entertainment sites), or raise legal issues (objectionable sites).

    SECURE NETWORK RESOURCES

    BorderManager protects your confidential information from internal and external intruders with its advanced security services. BorderManager firewall services provide increased security through three levels of firewall protection including packet filtering (Level I firewall), circuit gateway (Level II firewall) and application proxy services (Level III firewall). Network address translation (NAT) services mask IP addresses from outsiders and allow unregistered IP addresses to connect to the Internet. And, BorderManager virtual private network (VPN) services deliver secure, encrypted connections over the Internet and reduce your costs for expensive private lines.

    IMPROVE PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY

    BorderManager’s sophisticated proxy caching services, including forward and reverse Web acceleration and hierarchical caching, significantly increases web access speeds. BorderManager caching services provide a standards-based performance foundation to support your company’s network infrastructure and offset the performance penalty you pay for necessary web controls and filtering. In short, BorderManager--rated at over 4,000 hits per second and easily supporting more than 250 million hits per day for the largest company web sites--delivers the most scalable cache services available today at any price.

    REDUCE YOUR COST OF OWNERSHIP

    If security is your top concern, controlling network expenses isn’t far behind. BorderManager dramatically reduces your network expenses by:
    • Centralizing Network Administration. BorderManager works with NDS to automate enterprise-wide administration of network security policies and users, saving time and money.
    • Protecting Hardware and Software Investments. BorderManager improves overall Internet/intranet access performance, which leverages your hardware investment in servers, desktop systems and routers. BorderManager also easily integrates with existing web servers and firewalls, making both more secure.
    • Reducing WAN Link Expenses. BorderManager’s proxy caching services allow you to cache web pages locally, providing a cost-effective alternative to upgrading your Internet connection. BorderManager’s VPN services let you use the Internet as a backbone for your enterprise network, eliminating the expense of dedicated private lines.
