The ViPNet Coordinator VA virtual appliance is a versatile security gateway for deploying on a virtualization platform. It provides secure access to virtualized data centers in dynamic cloud environment, protecting against network attacks and unauthorized access. The virtual appliance can be seamlessly integrated into an existing infrastructure. It satisfies the most severe requirements on functionality, usability, reliability, and fault tolerance.
ViPNet Coordinator VA is a virtual appliance version of the ViPNet Coordinator HW hardware appliance. It runs inside a hypervisor in a virtual host.
ViPNet Coordinator VA Web Access for configuring security options
Use Cases
ViPNet Coordinator VA, together with other ViPNet VPN products, provides effective implementation of many data protection user scenarios:
- Establishing secure communication channels between different offices of a company (site-to-site and multi-site-to-site)
- Protected access for remote and mobile users
- Protecting backbone links between data centers
- Protecting wireless networks
- Protecting multiservice networks (including IP telephony and videoconferencing)
- Data access control in LANs
- Secure controlled access to the Internet
- And any combinations of the above-mentioned scenarios
Advantages
Virtualization technology offers more freedom as you do need to solve any compatibility issues with other vendors´ operating systems and applications, virtual appliance implementation does not affect your business processes. The virtual appliance is pre-installed on an adapted Linux OS and can be deployed on various virtualization platforms.
And also:
- No license restrictions for the concurrent VPN connections through ViPNet Coordinator for Windows
- Fully compatible with modern network services:
-
- DHCP, WINS, DNS services
- Dynamic address translation (NAT, PAT)
- Multimedia protocols (SIP, H323, SCCP, and others)
- Failover cluster enhances fault-tolerance

VPN gateway |
Provides site-to-site and client-to-site encrypted connections. |
L2VPN gateway (L2overIP technology) |
Allows you to establish encrypted connection between sites in a common broadcast domain. |
Layer 3 Stateful Inspection Firewall |
Provides filtering of public and VPN traffic by IP, VPN ID, TCP/UDP ports, and type of the over-IP protocol. |
IP server |
Provides for connectivity between the VPN hosts. this is based on a proprietary ViPNet dynamic routing protocol, which is used by the hosts to notify each other about their access parameters. |
VPN router |
Encrypted traffic is routed based on the ViPNet host identifiers specified in the unencrypted part of IP packets, which is protected against falsification. The routing is performed over a proprietary protocol designed for secure dynamic routing of traffic. Along with the routing, network address translation (NAT) is performed for encrypted traffic. All forward encrypted packets that are received by a coordinator are sent to other hosts with the coordinator’s IP address as their source IP address. |
