Edge Gateway
Fast and secure remote access.
BIG-IP Edge Gateway is an accelerated remote access solution that brings together SSL VPN, application acceleration, and availability services. With BIG-IP Edge Gateway, you can provide peak performance and secure access for your mobile workforce, regardless of user device or location.
Available as a standalone appliance and a virtual edition, BIG-IP Edge Gateway combines the capabilities of BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM), BIG-IP WebAccelerator, and BIG-IP WAN Optimization Manager (WOM).
Keep your users connected
Many access clients interrupt worker productivity because they require users to reconnect each time they change locations or restart an app. Working with the optional BIG-IP Edge Client, BIG-IP Edge Gateway gives users seamless access when they transition between locations and networks. The result: uninterrupted productivity. BIG-IP Edge Gateway also provides full support for IPv6, so your business is ready for the future.
Protect your organization
BIG-IP Edge Gateway helps secure your network with superior endpoint security. It’s simple to set policies to validate devices attempting to access your network, so you can protect your company from virus or malware infections, accidental data loss, and rogue device access.
Accelerate application performance
With asymmetric and symmetric acceleration, BIG-IP Edge Gateway helps remote users access applications up to 10x faster than without acceleration.
- Enable users to achieve LAN speeds by applying intelligent caching, adaptive compression, and DTLS hardware acceleration.
- Support acceleration over a fast and secure IPsec site-to-site tunnel.
Scale with ease
By unifying access and acceleration services on a single, optimized device, BIG-IP Edge Gateway centralizes management tasks to help you significantly reduce costs.
- Make it easy to manage your mobile users. Support VMware View, Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop, and Microsoft RDP in parallel—without requiring more point appliances.
- Scale your network cost-effectively with up to 8 Gbps of SSL VPN throughput, 600 logins per second, and 60,000 concurrent users.
