Alternative Technology And SonicWALL Partnership

Together providing the SMB market with easy-to-use, cost-effective security solutions

Partnering with Alternative Technology and SonicWALL, you can deliver easy and secure remote network access, no matter where users go. Secure remote access and Internet threat protection for your SMB customer and their mobile workforce shouldn’t be a difficult or expensive proposition. With SonicWALL solutions, it’s not. SonicWALL SSL-VPN is a clientless, secure remote access solution that integrates alongside almost any existing firewall and requires no per-seat license or additional hardware. Users can easily and securely access the network from anywhere in the world using a standard Web browser. So there are no fat clients to preinstall and maintain. When deployed with a SonicWALL TZ or PRO Series Network Security Appliance — featuring deep packet inspection and the Gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware and intrusion prevention service — no SSL-VPN solution is more secure. The HTTPS connection is decrypted, and viruses, trojans, spyware, phishing attacks, and other emerging threats are eliminated. SonicWALL is a recognized global leader in the small and medium business market.
