- TCP only Communications
- Unique installation flexibility:
- Use the CommonTime Switching Center (CSC) for simple installation with no inbound firewall ports required. The CSC provides switching and routing, maintains a fully secure AES 256 FIPS 140-2 compliant VPN tunnel between the device and the mSuite Connection Manager Server (CMS) located in the customer’s secure zone. There is no intermediate decryption and the CSC does not store and forward customer information.
- Use a firewall proxy to place the entire infrastructure under the customer’s control. This proxy traverses the customer’s DMZ and requires one inbound TCP port to be open through the external firewall. It can provide the same Load Balancing and Failover capabilities as the CSC. Again a secure AES 256 FIPS 140-2 compliant tunnel is maintained from the device to the Connection Management Server in the Secure Zone.
- Scalability up to 3000 users per mSuite server.
- Support for alternate management solutions - a customer can start with mSuite and then switch to Microsoft’s SC-MDM with no additional cost and minimal configuration effort.
- HTTP proxy (coming soon) – you can enforce corporate Internet polices by ensuring that all Internet Requests are made through and internal proxy rather than direct to the internet.
