Cisco VPN 3000 Family
The Cisco VPN 3000 Series Concentrator is a best-in-class,
remote-access VPN solution for enterprise-class deployment. A
standards-based, easy-to-use VPN client and scalable VPN tunnel termination devices are
included, as well as a management system that enables corporations to easily install,
configure, and monitor their remote access VPNs. Remote connections can be established
either from a SSL-capable Web browser or an installed VPN Client, allowing for maximum
flexibility and application access without the need to deploy and manage multiple unique
devices for secure corporate or partner application access. Incorporating the most advanced,
high-availability capabilities with a unique purpose-built, remote-access architecture, it
allows corporations to build high-performance, scalable, and robust VPN infrastructures to
support their mission-critical, remote-access applications.
Unique to the industry, it is the only scalable platform to offer components that are
field-swappable and can be upgraded by the customer. These components, called Scalable
Encryption Processing (SEP/SEP-E) modules, enable users to easily add capacity and
throughput.
The Cisco VPN 3000 Series Concentrator supports the widest range of connectivity options,
including WebVPN (Clientless using a Web browser), the Cisco VPN Client, the Microsoft
L2TP/IPSec, and Microsoft PPTP.
