January 29, 2002 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Dorado Software, Inc. (doradosoftware.com), a provider of
r
network infrastructure software, today announced the launch of its Redcell
r
Virtual Private Network Service Center (VPN SC), an integrated software
r
solution that makes creating, deploying, and managing multi-vendor VPNs
r
simple and scalable, the company says. Enterprises and service providers can
r
quickly deploy VPNs from edge to core, via Internet Protocol Security and
r
Multiprotocol Label Path Switching technologies. From a single product, VPN
r
SC offers strong authentication and security as well as bandwidth and SLAs.
r
r
“Currently large-scale VPN deployments are complex and require
r
time-consuming, manual device configurations,” said Tim Sebring, founder and
r
CEO of Dorado Software. “Redcell VPN SC provides a powerful solution
r
designed to automate the creation and deployment of IP-VPNs, and enables VPN
r
services to be turned on faster, more accurately across a multi-vendor
r
environment. With feature-rich IPSec and MPLS service offerings, this
r
integrated solution allows the true cost saving benefits of VPNs to be
r
realized.”
r
r
Redcell VPN Service Center addresses a number of problems, such as
r
management of security information, control of network security appliances,
r
management and configuration of routers, and the accuracy and time involved
r
in delivery of services. The VPN SC ensures users don’t need a degree in
r
router or network appliance configuration, no matter the complexity of the
r
network. Inaccuracies occur in approximately 50% of all manual VPN
r
deployments. The VPN SC eliminates the errors by ensuring the correct
r
service is deployed each time, the company said. Even in instances where
r
full deployment is not possible, such as when a router is down and not
r
available for provisioning, the VPN SC offers rollback capability that
r
avoids partially deployed services. Users pick the members of the VPN,
r
define customer information, and the VPN Service Center does the rest.
r
r
“Service providers are increasingly adding Virtual Private Network services
r
to their product offerings due to the increased demand by their customers,
r
an indication that, as measured by Infonetics’ research, VPNs are considered
r
a valuable tool for businesses,” said Michael Howard, principal analyst and
r
co-founder, Infonetics Research. “Speed and accuracy of service provider
r
provisioning are essential for these VPN services. Dorado’s Redcell VPN
r
Service Center will enable service providers to quickly deploy multi-vendor
r
IP services in their new generation networks.”
r
r
In an MPLS environment, Redcell VPN SC facilitates private IP network
r
services, connecting physically disparate locations by defining a variety of
r
VPN types, and provisioning the network to support user requirements.
r
Integrated with Dorado’s Redcell product family, Redcell VPN SC offers
r
enterprises and service providers an application to rapidly create secure
r
multi-point VPN connectivity.
r
r
Dorado’s VPN Service Center is designed to create customer sites and capture
r
customer information; define and provision network paths on provider edge
r
routers, including RSVP- and/or LDP-signaled label-switched paths and define
r
and create both hub-and-spoke as well as fully meshed MPLS-based VPNs.
r
r
Redcell VPN SC Version 3 delivers MPLS VPNs. MPLS has emerged as a dominant
r
standard for IP-VPNs, offering important improvements in provisioning and
r
management of VPNs. Redcell VPN SC provides the ability to create named
r
paths, support LSPs (both RSVP and LDP signaled), define Customer
r
Edge-to-Provider Edge routing protocols, and create and deploy Layer 2 VPNs
r
(both “Kompella” and “Martini”) and Layer 3 PLS Border Gateway Protocol
r
VPNs (based on RFC 2547). The Redcell VPN Service Center supports Juniper
r
M-series and Cisco multi-protocol series routers.
r
r
Support for additional equipment and IPSec capabilities, providing host-host
r
security services such as privacy, authentication, and message integrity
r
targeted at the enterprise, is expected in late Q1.
