The Celestix WSA3000 enables small-to-medium-sized companies to deploy cost effective remote and extranet access, as well as intranet/internet security and web acceleration. WSA3000 is a feature rich line of SSL VPN appliances from Celestix®. Capable of gigabit-per-second throughput, it provides the reliability with maximum uptime and 1U port density that demanding, high-speed networks require. It's powerful, yet easy to deploy and manage using Celestix intuitive Web interface, the front panel jog dial and the backlit LCD.

Appliance Platform

The WSA3000 is based on a robust Celestix Scorpio-X 1U rack hardware platform, producing an extremely fast and efficient appliance with a powerful Intel® Pentium® 4 class CPU running in excess of 3.0GHz, 2GB of RAM and 80GB of hard drive. The Celestix WSA3000 has six auto-sensing 100/1000 ethernet ports adding a degree of versatility not commonly found in a security appliance.

Secure Access

The WSA is a comprehensive, high-performance application access and security appliance designed to help balance the tensions between security, application functionality and broad access. With the benefits of both a network-layer firewall (Microsoft® Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2006) and a full SSL VPN, the WSA delivers a policy-driven framework that unifies endpoint security, application access and access control in a highly-scalable platform to satisfy the demands of large-scale and complex environments.

WSA3000 comes bundled with 10 user licenses and can scale to 1,000 number of users on a single appliance, supporting up to 64 high-availability nodes in a single array, and enables administrators to define complex authentication schemas, session residue shredding configurations and custom endpoint compliance requirements. The platform supports multiple portals on a single gateway, enabling administrators to customize the user experience and create specific policy configurations for each portal.
