With Pulse Secure SA Series SSL VPN Virtual Appliances, service providers can offer costeffective managed mobile and remote access services. SA Series Virtual Appliances include Pulse Secure Pulse—a simple, intuitive, enabling user Interface that delivers secure, authenticated access for remote users to corporate resources from any Web-enabled device.

When it comes to business mobility, the first server to which users connect is almost always a VPN. The challenge is trying to adapt the VPN so that it is also a mobile platform, unbound from existing paradigms, and flexible to adapt to the needs of service providers as they tap into the expanding mobile marketplace.

For more than 10 years, Pulse Secure SA Series SSL VPN Appliances have delivered on the mobile VPN experience, especially among large enterprise corporations. But for service providers serving smaller customers, where is the VPN offering that is so simple to manage that it can be put on a Web-based order form as an optional service while signing up new business accounts for Internet service? Or, that allows small to mid-sized business (SMBs) to order a managed VPN service for a set number of users at a set amount per user, per month?

The SA Series SSL VPN Virtual Appliances run the same software image as the awardwinning, hardware-based SA Series SSL VPN Appliances, allowing a nearly seamless transition between hardware-based deployments and virtual deployments. The SA Series SSL VPN Virtual Appliances run on VMware, specifically designed to fulfill service provider Software as a Service (SaaS) and other cloud-based corporate service initiatives. SA Series Virtual Appliances can scale to support a virtually unlimited number of customers using VMware software. The fully virtualized systems can run completely independent of other customers, and provide highly flexible licensing—as well as management interfaces—that can tie directly into a service provider’s operations support systems (OSS) and business support systems (BSS).

Pulse Secure Pulse is a dynamic, integrated, multiservice network interface that delivers accelerated, secure connectivity and seamless, authenticated access to networks and the cloud. Included with the SA Series (for laptops and PCs) and downloadable from most major mobile operating system app stores and marketplaces, Pulse provides enterprises—and the service providers who serve them—with improved productivity, collaboration, security, and ubiquitous access to network and cloud-based resources, anytime, anywhere, using any Web-enabled device.

SA Series Virtual Appliances fulfill the service provider’s requirement for managed VPN services for SMB and enterprise customers alike. Service providers want hardware that can scale to support virtually an unlimited number of customers, fully virtualized systems that can run completely independent of other customers, flexible licensing that doesn’t limit their options, and management interfaces that allow them to tie straight into their operations and business support systems. Pulse Secure has delivered on each of these requirements with the SA Series SSL VPN Virtual Appliances.

With SA Series Virtual Appliances, any service provider can assemble the right solution with the following:

• Blade servers running VMware are deployed to support SA Series Virtual Appliances.
• A single bulk license (such as 25,000 concurrent users on a three-year subscription) is applied to a Pulse Secure license server.
• SA Series Virtual Appliances configured to meet a particular customer’s requirements, licensed as needed from the license server, and moved to any VMware server in the world to best support each customer.
• Service provider’s own management systems can automate additional configuration changes, license moves, reporting, etc. as needs change.

The SA Series Virtual Appliances feature subscription licenses. A service provider simply installs all licenses on a Pulse Secure SA2500 SSL VPN Appliance license server, and administrators assign licenses at various levels to the virtual appliances. This provides tremendous flexibility for service providers to easily adjust how much license support they will need at any given time. This capability also eliminates the need to have In Case of Emergency (ICE) licensing, since the virtual appliances can support burst licensing as well.

Figure 1 shows a typical deployment model where the SA Series Virtual Appliances are hosted by a service provider within a suitable part of its infrastructure, such as a hosting center with direct connectivity to the Internet and connectivity to the customer IP environment. The figure also shows potential service enhancements in the form of dedicated customer blades, where enterprise customers can have their own assigned virtual appliance blades offering not only secure mobile and remote access, but hosted virtual systems for back-office applications and other network services. Note that the orange halo around one SA Series appliance means that it is a virtual appliance.

Pulse is an integrated, multiservice network solution that enables anytime, anywhere connectivity, access control, security, acceleration, and collaboration with a simplified user experience that requires minimal user interaction. It makes secure network and cloud access easy through virtually any device—mobile or nonmobile, Wi-Fi or 3G/4G, Long Term Evolution (LTE)-enabled, managed or unmanaged—over a broad array of computer and mobile operating systems. The following table provides key features and benefits of Pulse.
