Solution providers must be able to provide enterprise customers with secure managed networking solutions such as Internet Protocol (IP) virtual private networks (VPNs), and remote access solutions—particularly for those customers whose networks are widespread and designed to accommodate telecommuters, mobile workers, and business partners. SmartPipes makes it easy for solution providers and their customers to manage those complex IP networks at a fraction of the traditional cost. SmartPipes’ Web-based software automatically translates business networking policies into complex network and security configurations that can be implemented and managed efficiently across a range of network devices. And by moving to Microsoft® Windows Server 2003, SmartPipes has significantly increased the security, reliability, and ease of deployment of its Web-based software products.
