Novell Security Manager by Astaro – Statement of Direction
Novell Security Manager by Astaro will be discontinued as a separate product in the Novell portfolio and will be removed from the Novell price list effective February 15, 2007. Novell will continue to offer general support for Novell Security Manager by Astaro 6.1 through February of 2008. During this time, Novell will also address critical issues verified through Novell Technical Services.
* Customer Guidance Customers who want access management, content filtering, reverse proxy, application security and site-to-site VPN capabilities–supported on the NetWare platform–should upgrade to BorderManager 3.9 when it releases in the first half of 2007. Per Novell's standard support policies, this product will be supported and maintained for three years from the its date of release.
* BorderManager customers who wish to leverage these services on the Linux platform should upgrade to a future version of Novell Access Manager, currently slated for release in the first half of 2008. This version will include a Linux Access Gateway that supports client trust for single sign-on to proxied applications, robust access control via forward proxy, SSL VPN and site-to-site security.
* Customers who need traditional Unified Threat Management functionality or Linux-based firewall/VPN and network security capabilities may purchase the Astaro Security Linux product or a comparable third-party offering. Astaro remains remains a valued Novell Market Start partner, and Novell will continue working with Astaro to provide VPN authorization against Novell eDirectory and other points of integration.
* Existing customers of Novell Security Manager by Astaro can take advantage of a migration path provided by Astaro to the latest version of its Astaro Security Linux product.
