Stinghorn Secure Business Suite

All Stinghorn SBS network services are connected to one graphical Management System, which enables service management either locally or centrally. Stinghorn SBS protection and interconnection solutions are now also available as turn key services for affordable monthly payments.


High Availability Client-to-Site VPN for Remote User and Office Interconnection
As a sole solution in the world Stinghorn SBS offers one single VPN gateway that can be used to create secure VPN connections from all major operating systems: Windows XP/2000, Mac OS X Tiger/Panther and Linux as well as from PDA devices and SmartPhones based on Windows Mobile operating system. With competing solutions one would need numerous separate devices and softwares to achieve the same functionalities.

In case there is need for high availability, several VPN gateways can be set up parallel and the traffic can be divided in between them. Stinghorn SBS enables also the geographical distribution of the VPN gateways, which raises the reachability of the entire system even more. Whatever the final solution will be, only one Management System and only one user database will be used for the management.

Naturally secure VPN connections can be created through often problematic Network Address Translation, NAT. Unlike many of it's rivals, Stinghorn SBS enables secure VPN connections even if there are numerous separate users behind one and a same NAT device!


World's Easiest Inter-office Site-to-Site VPN
Stinghorn SBS offers literally the world's easiest way to build secure inter-office VPN connections. Through just one web based management screen the administrator can choose how he wants to connect the offices together. Naturally he can choose to create just single Point-to-Point VPN connections in between any two locations or he can choose to create a STAR or MESH type of connections. With STAR-shaped network headquarters are connected to every branch office while with MESH option every office is interconnected to every other office using a large group of VPN-networks. All settings and configuration is done automatically.

When Stinghorn SBS is used to create Site-to-Site VPN connections, there is no need for fixed IP addresses in the branch offices. Instead remote locations can use inexpensive xDSL Internet connections with dynamic IP addresses or even NATed addresses!
