    "Gartner predicts that 90% of businesses will support corporate applications on mobile
devices by 2014. Today, mobile devices are critical building blocks of business
infrastructure," said Patrick Sweeney, vice president product management and corporate
marketing at SonicWALL. "While companies may no longer own the device an employee uses to
access data, SonicWALL gives network administrators secure remote access tools for
business-critical applications on a massive scale over the broadest range of devices and
OS's."

    The Aventail E-Class SRA
[http://www.sonicwall.com/us/products/Secure_Remote_Access.html?utm_source=PressRelease&utm_medium 11Releases&utm_contentìlassSRA&utm_campaign1205_EX9000 ]
conducts
comprehensive interrogation and proactive remediation, establishing trust before access is
granted to user devices running Windows, Mac or Linux OS's. Using end-point control and
strong authentication, the solution determines the identity of the user, the security
posture of the device and allows the appropriate level of access to network resources
including shared folders and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), client-server
applications, intranet sites and email.
