Array Networks, the technology leader in high-performance secure access solutions, today announced at Interop Las Vegas strong customer momentum across the healthcare, insurance and technology sectors with customer wins including HUB International, Appriss, SoftLayer and Global Healthcare Alliance. These customers underscore Array's continued leadership in bringing SSL VPN solutions to large enterprises, institutions and service providers across North America that require strong security, performance and low cost of ownership in an increasingly mobile business environment.

Businesses around the globe are turning to SSL VPN to provide anywhere, anytime secure remote access. Array is fast becoming the high-performance SSL VPN supplier of choice for large enterprises, vertical market institutions and service providers -- organizations that depend on scale, speed and cost-effective secure access.

New customer wins include:

-- HUB International, one of the largest insurance brokerages in North America, provides a broad array of property and casualty, life and health, employee benefits and risk management products and services. After a thorough analysis of vendors offering SSL solutions, HUB selected Array based upon its industry-leading performance, scalability and consistent record of excellent customer service. HUB required a solution which could handle numerous users logging in to its network at various times and found Array's SSL solution provided customers with a seamless and secure user experience. Array is now HUB's sole provider of secure universal remote access.

-- Appriss, provides innovative technology solutions that help hundreds of local, state and federal government agencies serve and protect their citizens. Through products like VINE(R) and JusticeXchange(TM), Appriss is helping to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and accessibility of government agencies across the country.

-- SoftLayer, a company delivering low-cost, next-generation on-demand hosting services for small to medium enterprises. SoftLayer provides a private intranet for all dedicated servers for each customer via a third-party carrier and Array Network's SSL VPN. SoftLayer tested several SSL VPN solutions and selected the Array Network SPX3000 for its optimal overall feature set. With over 3000 hosted servers and 700 clients, Array's solution provides SoftLayer with seamless integration, simple end-user administration and low support costs so that its customers can benefit from secure remote access for server management, administration and day-to-day office activities.

-- Global Healthcare Alliance, a leading provider of software and business outsourcing services to physician practices and other healthcare organizations, provides applications for its customers via Terminal Services. Global Healthcare Alliance selected Array's SPX solution to attain secure access to a single Terminal Services application. Array also provides Global Healthcare Alliance with granular application security coupled with the scalability and performance to support its current customer base and the addition of future customers.

"We needed a solution that would provide our employees with access to specific applications like e-mail and Web-based applications from anywhere at anytime, while maintaining the integrity and security of the network," said Jacob Wilkins, a network engineer at Appriss. "We selected Array for its unmatched performance and scalability, as well as its flexible approach to deployment, implementation and price. Array ensures that our local, state and federal government customers have secure access to information they need to serve and protect their citizens."
