CAMPBELL, CA - June 30, 2004
Array Networks, the pioneer in integrated web traffic management and SSL VPN solutions for global enterprises, announced today that Dacom, South Korea’s leading communications service provider selected Array Networks for its SSL VPN service. Always the leader, Dacom successfully completed its commercial launch this month to become the first South Korean operator to provide this service. Key public institutions are already realizing the benefits of Array Networks and Dacom’s secure remote access services.
Dacom selected Array Networks as its partner after thoroughly testing several SSL VPN product solutions. Their testing verified the performance and feature support of different products by modeling several of South Korea’s most demanding commercial and public sector ‘e-Services’ application offerings. For South Korea’s most successful and innovative operator, system scalability was critical. Dacom validated other independent testing to establish that Array Networks’ SSL VPN solution had the best performance metrics with very high capacity and reliability. Array Networks’ ability to support multiple virtual sites and high availability through its N+1 clustering were important factors in the selection.
Mr. Jung Hong Shik, President and CEO of Dacom, said, “We selected Array Networks as the solution provider for our new SSL VPN service. Dacom prides itself on always providing the best value proposition to our customers. Array’s very attractive price / performance ratio and scalability supports that proposition. We are proud to be the first operator to provide a SSL VPN service. This is a great solution for remote application users and home workers to strengthen security.”
