NTT Communications Selects Vernier Networks Security Products

Posted on: Monday, 7 June 2004, 06:00 CDT

NTT Communications to Offer Metro Ether NW Network Enterprise Service Bundled With Vernier's User-Aware Network Security Architecture

Vernier Networks(R), an emerging leader of user-aware networking security products, today announced that NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), a subsidiary of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), one of the world's largest telecommunications companies, selected Vernier Networks' User Aware Network Security Architecture (UNSA) products as the security technology of choice for its new enterprise Metro Ether NW office wireless LAN service. The new service named e-VLAN CPE Package is based on the already existing Metro Ether NW (also called e-VLAN) service and will be packaged together with Vernier's UNSA products. Enterprise customers can register for NTT Com's new service beginning on June 1.

NTT Com selected Vernier's security architecture because it is the only user-aware network security solution that enables enterprise IT managers to control important aspects of how individual users can access the network including time and access location. Another highlight of Vernier's solution is that it enables users to roam wirelessly over different segments of the enterprise network without requiring them to re-register on the network.

"We are extremely pleased to be selected as the security technology of choice by one of the largest telecommunication companies in the world," said Nadia Mansour, vice president of worldwide sales and business development at Vernier Networks. "In addition to NTT Com, Vernier's network security solutions protect the networks of hundreds of enterprises, universities, hospitals and government agencies around the world. Vernier's security solutions give IT administrators unprecedented levels of access and control of their networks including the means to command when, where and how users can connect to the network."

By deploying Vernier's UNSA product suite which features the Control Server and Access Manager, NTT Com's enterprise customers will gain the highest levels of security and unprecedented levels of visibility into the network. An intuitive administrator console at the heart of the Vernier system provides visibility across the entire wireless network and centralized control of users, resources, services and applications. This centralized control of users simplifies administration and significantly reduces management tasks so IT departments can focus on higher level networking tasks and new service offerings.
