Array Networks's SPX3000 SSL VPN platform has been selected to enable new SSL VPN services for Shanghai Telecom.

By deploying Array's solution, Shanghai Telecom plans to offer both CPE-based and network-based SSL VPN services.

For CPE-based services, customers can choose to buy or lease Array SSL VPN platforms, depending on their needs.

For network-based services, Array's market-leading virtualization supports up to 256 SSL VPN virtual sites on a single hardware platform.

In addition to its scalability, Array Networks says it offers Shanghai Telecom and its customers the lowest cost per user by dramatically reducing hardware, software and maintenance costs.
