Plug-and-Play
Marine VPN
Extending the corporate VPN to remote marine endpoints
has been a configuration and integration nightmare to this
point. It has required the combined efforts of corporate
IT professionals, the satellite hub operator, the marine
satellite terminal reseller and the installation technician
on the boat or remote production platform.
With
Selective Layer Encryption, Encore’s
patented high performance method of providing
end-to-end VPN over satellite back to the
corporate Intranet, one unit is provided
to the corporation, and one to the hub
operator and the remote terminal finds
its own way back to the corporate VPN.
Encore’s
VPN technology is compatible with all currently
deployed standards based IPsec VPN devices,
and has been proven interoperable with
commonly deployed equipment from Cisco,
Nortel and Netscreen in testing with the
VPN Consortium (VPNC).
Encore
also includes legacy protocol conversion
capabilities, allowing corporations to
link and converge non-IP based terminals,
networks and devices to secure IP based
networks. As an example, this capability
would enable remote terminal access to
troubleshoot engine or HVAC control systems.
It would also provide production platforms
a way of to securely sending Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) information
back to land based control systems.
Encore
is leading the way in IPsec VPN based
devices for marine networks. For more
