New 8.0 Firmware For Access Gateway Enterprise Edition

Wednesday, 04 April 2007 by Michel Roth

Jay Tomlin has an article up on the new 8.0 firmware for Access Gateway Enterprise Edition. He goes on to explain how this new version adds the ICA proxy capabilities to the Netscaler platform. All these terms and all kinds of scalers and gateways can get kind of confusing. Jay's article helps you along:

"This is not the first release of the Enterprise Edition gateway, but it�s the first release to include the same ICA proxy capabilities as the Standard and Advanced editions of Access Gateway. This allows remote users to traverse the DMZ and access applications hosted on Citrix Presentation Servers without requiring any sort of VPN client. Citrix has been selling the Access Gateway Standard and Advanced Editions for the past couple years as a replacement for the Windows-based Secure Gateway component, allowing you to get those Windows servers out of your DMZ and replace them with hardened security appliances. Now Enterprise Edition is also on the table as an option to consider for SG Replacement."
