Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006 can be used to help solve the problems of securing, managing, and accelerating branch office connections to the main office. ISA Server 2006 is an integrated firewall, Web proxy, remote access virtual private network (VPN) server and site-to-site VPN gateway. Each of the ISA Server 2006 technologies can be applied individually or together to provide an excellent combination of security, reliability, and accessibility for branch office employees to access main office information resources.
This white paper examines the problems companies have when trying to provide data access to remote offices and provides solutions based on features and capabilities included with ISA Server 2006.
