Page 1 of 2 The SSL VPN Magic Quadrant report evaluates Microsoft's Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG) - obtained through the acquisition of Whale Communications in July 2006 - and Microsoft's Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA Server), which is integrated with the IAG to provide a single, consolidated appliance for network perimeter defence, remote access, endpoint security and application-layer protection. More details at http://www.microsoft.com/whale. Under a headline: "Microsoft in Visionaries Quadrant in 3Q06 SSL VPN Magic Quadrant" Microsoft's press release says: "Evaluation of Microsoft Intelligent Application Gateway Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute." Which is absolutely true. Those are the criteria Gartner uses when deciding in which Quadrant to place a vendor. However inclusion in the 'Visionaries' quadrant does not indicate a stellar performance against these criteria. |
