Microsoft’s Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG) 2007 with Application Optimizers provides secure socket layer (SSL) virtual private network (VPN), a Web application firewall, and endpoint security management that enable access control, authorization, and content inspection for a wide variety of line-of-business applications. Together, these technologies provide mobile and remote workers with easy and flexible secure access from a broad range of devices and locations including kiosks, PCs, and mobile devices. IAG also enables IT administrators to enforce compliance with application and information usage guidelines through a customized remote access policy based on device, user, application, or other business criteria. Key benefits include:

Licensing

  • Server plus User CALs IAG is licensed in the server/client access license model. Under this model, a server license is required (in the case of IAG, an OEM appliance includes server license), as well as a CAL for each named and/or authenticated user that accesses a system running IAG 2007.

  • Server plus Device CALs Under this model, a server license is required (in the case of IAG, an OEM appliance includes a server license), as well as a CAL for each client device that accesses a system running IAG 2007.

Licensing Notes

  • IAG 2007 CAL Any IAG 2007 CAL can be used with any licensed appliance running IAG 2007 (and earlier) regardless of the platform (32 bit, 64 bit, and IA64), or the version.

  • IAG 2007 EC The EC license is an optional additional server license for external users that enables access to your appliances running IAG 2007. With this license, you do not need to buy individual IAG 2007 CALs. The EC license is purchased for every copy of IAG 2007 that can be accessed by the external user. An example of an external user is a person who is not an employee or similar personnel of the company or its affiliates. This license allows access to the IAG 2007 by an unlimited number of external users that can include, but is not limited to, business partners, suppliers, customers, retirees, and alumni. It is licensed per-server.

IAG 2007 devices are comprehensive, high-performance application access and security appliances designed to help balance the tensions between security, application functionality, and broad access.
