MessageActually, I see CSG as complementary to VPN's and would ideally like
to see both.
In my experience, a VPN is useful and performs well when a user has his/her
company owned computer outside the company walls and needs access to some
company resource (email, file, printer, etc.).
However, if the user does not have a company computer or needs to access a
company database, the VPN no longer works. Conversely, CSG can be made
available on airport kiosks, cyber cafe's, grandma's PC, Macintosh
computers, Linux computers, etc. It also performs database applications much
better than a VPN connection due to the proximity of the database client to
its server.
Lastly, I've seen VPN's become overwhelmed on snow days. A complementary CSG
can offload enough traffic keep things performing well.
Just my $.02

We were excited to scrap all of our ipsec VPN's when we deployed CSG. Are
you using them for access to stuff that isn't available via Citrix or am I
missing something?
Thanks,
R

indeed, however, the access gateway compliments MSAM in terms of providing
the SSL endpoints and providing ipsec like VPN's but all via SSL...

Correct me if I'm wrong but this does away with needing CSG and provides
other appication support rather than just ICA? In other words also
replacing some of MSAM capibilities. Kill 2 products with one?.....A
hardware based products surely got to be better than some of the dodgy
software coding we see these days.....
What other products does this compete with from other companies?

Steve, I wonder if you can point me in the direction of some good
documentation on the exact workings of this device... or I guess more
specifically, I am trying to fully understand the subtleties of SSL, PPTP
and Ipsec VPN's.
I have worked with a VPN set up over a PPTP connection before. So, my
understanding is that this PPTP VPN is working at the network layer, i.e.
you end up with an additional network entry in your routing table on the
client device which is tunneled through PPTP.
So, the SSL VPN works at the application layer and provides a TCP
tunnel? how does this work exactly and how is this tunnel presented to the
client?
What do they mean when they say Citrix leverages the SSL VPN along
with the ipsec VPN.. does that mean you get a network route entry for
tunneling non ICA traffic, and then you get SSL encryption for 'proxying'
ICA connections, or have I just made all that up?
We are very interested in this box, but just not too sure about the
colour.
thanks in advance, Brian

Now that this is public, I want to let everyone know that product
totally rocks! It has all of the best attributes of an IPSec VPN and an SSL
VPN without the problems associated with both. While I have been less than
totally excited about some of Citrix's other new products over the last few
years, this one is pretty awesome. I predict that it is going to take off
and dominate the VPN market eventually.....
