Cloud Computing: Definition
•
"cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous,
convenient, on-demand network access to a shared
pool of configurable computing resources (e.g.,
networks, servers, storage, applications and services)
that can be rapidly provisioned and released with
minimal management effort or service provider
interaction.“
– National Institute of Standards & Technology - 10/2011

Putting the pieces together?
• Design for lack of endpoint control
– Endpoints will vary
– Reliability and bandwidth vary, stick with Wi-Fi
– Server controls QOS
• Merging of consumer based and corporate
apps/equipment
• Integrating with proprietary solutions?
• Skype
• FaceTime
• Blackberry Video Chat?

Next Generation VPN’s
Zero Configuration Hardware
Past challenges with VPN was that nearly most were
software solutions prone to the same challenges as other
software on a computer.
•Resource competition on the pc.
•Driver and hardware compatibility.
•Often required elevated privileges to run.
•Different versions of software for different OS.
•Less support for vendors not base out of Washington.
•Required user to initiate the connection. User education.
•Education of support staff for use of VPN software.
LegalTech® New York 2012
25
Next Generation VPN’s
Zero Configuration Hardware
Yes there is Citrix/TS but it has never been 100% the desktop or office
replacement for fulltime workers outside of the office.
•Applications not supported on TS/Citrix (especially now that TS is 64bit only).
•Multiple user environment resource issues.
•General challenges supporting Citrix/TS environments.
(External device issues such as printers & scanners on clients)
•Multiple licensing costs (CALS).
VDI addresses many of these issues, but costs are just transferred from one
bucket to another and can even add to complexity in some environments.
Solution is still very software dependent and doesn’t address those concerns.

Astaro RED
(now Sophos)
•
Astaro RED (Remote Ethernet Device) is a comprehensive security
gateway device which does not require local setup or technical skills at
the remote site.
•
The configuration is completed at the central office and is automatically
distributed to all Astaro RED appliances.
•
Scalable. Allows for mass roll-out scenarios and unrestricted amount of
users per device.
•
Only limited to the power of the hardware.
•
Allows for the enforcement of network security policies.
•
Zero configuration done onsite. Nothing to tamper with.
•
Ties to Astaro Secure Gateway UTM appliance for full security features
and management. (Web Filter, Stateful Inspection, IDS/IPS and QoS).
LegalTech® New York 2012
27
Wireless?
Meraki Access Points
•
MR12/MR16/MR24 AP’s with Cloud Controller.
•
Wireless VPN, zero configuration onsite.
•
Remote APs automatically establish a persistent, secure Layer 2 IPSec
tunnel back to a Meraki virtual concentrator (vm) running on a server at
headquarters.
•
Meraki wireless networks eliminate the need for a wireless LAN controller at
headquarters. Now, integration of site-to-site VPN functionality into the
access point.
•
Combination of a built-in stateful firewall, NAC and web filters further
reduces the number of hardware appliances needed in the home or branch
office yet still maintain corporate level policies and security in place.
•
Zero configuration done onsite.
LegalTech® New York 2012
28
How about no network at all?
Meraki Cloud Routers
• Great for remote users, branch offices or war rooms.
• Users can now connect any device to remote network and
work natively on a pc.
• Nothing to configure remotely, reducing IT staff overhead
and travel burdens.
• Excellent backup DR/BC solution for primary data circuits.
• Full Layer 7 firewall, NAC, and web filtering.
• Packet shaping and priority path routing for VOIP and other
sensitive traffic.

•
•
•
•
Leveraging cheaper Internet (i.e.. Less than $300/mo. for 50Mb to 100Mb
Internet) means for greater flexibility and options than traditional Layer 3
network access designs.
Zero configuration devices rely on less IT staff to manage, maintain and
deploy devices.
Addresses the BYOD plague that is challenging many businesses today.
Software/OS/device independence.
Less items to license and maintain.
Better/native workspaces for users who are outside of the main office.
Leverage any WAN optimization technologies already in use.
Disaster Recovery redundancy become simple to deploy and manage.
Empower the mobile worker with “office anywhere”.

Recap
• New hardware technologies are available to address secure remote
access needs either temporary or persistent.
• Hardware independent - PC’s, iPad’s or network routers.
• Nothing for remote user to configure.
• All centrally managed in the main office. No IT travel.
• Better, more flexible workspaces for remote workers.
