Gartner Report
NetScreen Technologies Inc announced it has been recognized in a recently
released SSL VPN market research report published by Gartner Inc, a leading
worldwide research and advisory firm, in the leader quadrant. The report,
titled "Gartner SSL VPN Magic Quadrant for 1H2004," summarized evaluation of
16 vendors in the SSL VPN market based on their vision and ability to execute
that vision.
According to the report, "Leadership in the Magic Quadrant is realized
through
balanced progress and effort on all categories defined for execution and
vision. The leaders aggressively cultivate relationships with leading
third-party security and policy vendors that enterprises often use for
standard system images."
Web services, utility computing, .NET, CPU harvesting and distributed
computing are just a few of the technologies that fall under the Grid
computing umbrella. Gt04 -- a premiere enterprise Grid computing conference

"Enterprises are shifting their attention from Internet Protocol Security
(IPSec) to Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) virtual private networks (VPNs) for
newly provisioned, upgraded, individual remote-access connections," the report
continued. "The flexibility of SSL is so compelling that it overrides startup
cost considerations."
According to Gartner Inc, leaders are vendors who are performing well
today,
have a clear vision of market direction and are actively building competencies
to sustain their leadership position in the market.
"We are thrilled that NetScreen has been positioned in the leader quadrant
in
Gartner's SSL VPN Magic Quadrant," said Jason Matlof, vice president of
marketing for NetScreen's secure access products. "We continue to see growing
interest in, and adoption of, our NetScreen Secure Access SSL VPN products by
customers in multiple sectors, and we believe this placement confirms our
leadership in helping shape this rapidly evolving market."
