January 29, 2002 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Dorado Software, Inc. (doradosoftware.com), a provider of

network infrastructure software, today announced the launch of its Redcell

Virtual Private Network Service Center (VPN SC), an integrated software

solution that makes creating, deploying, and managing multi-vendor VPNs

simple and scalable, the company says. Enterprises and service providers can

quickly deploy VPNs from edge to core, via Internet Protocol Security and

Multiprotocol Label Path Switching technologies. From a single product, VPN

SC offers strong authentication and security as well as bandwidth and SLAs.

"Currently large-scale VPN deployments are complex and require

time-consuming, manual device configurations," said Tim Sebring, founder and

CEO of Dorado Software. "Redcell VPN SC provides a powerful solution

designed to automate the creation and deployment of IP-VPNs, and enables VPN

services to be turned on faster, more accurately across a multi-vendor

environment. With feature-rich IPSec and MPLS service offerings, this

integrated solution allows the true cost saving benefits of VPNs to be

realized."

Redcell VPN Service Center addresses a number of problems, such as

management of security information, control of network security appliances,

management and configuration of routers, and the accuracy and time involved

in delivery of services. The VPN SC ensures users don't need a degree in

router or network appliance configuration, no matter the complexity of the

network. Inaccuracies occur in approximately 50% of all manual VPN

deployments. The VPN SC eliminates the errors by ensuring the correct

service is deployed each time, the company said. Even in instances where

full deployment is not possible, such as when a router is down and not

available for provisioning, the VPN SC offers rollback capability that

avoids partially deployed services. Users pick the members of the VPN,

define customer information, and the VPN Service Center does the rest.

"Service providers are increasingly adding Virtual Private Network services

to their product offerings due to the increased demand by their customers,

an indication that, as measured by Infonetics' research, VPNs are considered

a valuable tool for businesses," said Michael Howard, principal analyst and

co-founder, Infonetics Research. "Speed and accuracy of service provider

provisioning are essential for these VPN services. Dorado's Redcell VPN

Service Center will enable service providers to quickly deploy multi-vendor

IP services in their new generation networks."

In an MPLS environment, Redcell VPN SC facilitates private IP network

services, connecting physically disparate locations by defining a variety of

VPN types, and provisioning the network to support user requirements.

Integrated with Dorado's Redcell product family, Redcell VPN SC offers

enterprises and service providers an application to rapidly create secure

multi-point VPN connectivity.

Dorado's VPN Service Center is designed to create customer sites and capture

customer information; define and provision network paths on provider edge

routers, including RSVP- and/or LDP-signaled label-switched paths and define

and create both hub-and-spoke as well as fully meshed MPLS-based VPNs.

Redcell VPN SC Version 3 delivers MPLS VPNs. MPLS has emerged as a dominant

standard for IP-VPNs, offering important improvements in provisioning and

management of VPNs. Redcell VPN SC provides the ability to create named

paths, support LSPs (both RSVP and LDP signaled), define Customer

Edge-to-Provider Edge routing protocols, and create and deploy Layer 2 VPNs

(both "Kompella" and "Martini") and Layer 3 PLS Border Gateway Protocol

VPNs (based on RFC 2547). The Redcell VPN Service Center supports Juniper

M-series and Cisco multi-protocol series routers.

Support for additional equipment and IPSec capabilities, providing host-host

security services such as privacy, authentication, and message integrity

targeted at the enterprise, is expected in late Q1.
