== SPX series SSL VPN enterprise platforms ==

Array's SPX series products are enterprise class SSL [[Virtual private network|VPNs]] that cover the full range of SSL based [[remote access]] from Network Level access (called [[Network layer|Layer 3]] VPN) to Web based access. The SPX series Universal Access Controllers address internal access,<ref name="Campus Technology">[http://campustechnology.com/Articles/2008/08/Polytechnic-Institute-of-NYU-Deploys-Array-Networks-Equipment-for-Access-Control.aspx "Polytechnic Institute of NYU Deploys Array Networks Equipment for Access Control", ''Campus Technology'', August 26, 2008].</ref> [[WiFi]] access, [[Desktop computer|desktop]] access, site-to-site access, partner access and customer access.<ref name="Communications News">[http://www.comnews.com/features/2008_february/0208_faster_vpn.aspx "Faster VPN Provides Insurance", ''Communications News'', February 2008].</ref>

=== Remote Desktop Access ===

For remote desktop access and control, DesktopDirect allows users to remote desktops from a standard web browser.<ref name="ChannelInsider">[http://www.channelinsider.com/c/a/Reviews/Array-Networks-Wants-Citrixs-GoToMyPC-Off-the-Desktop/ "Array Networks Wants Cytrix's Go ToMyPC Off The Desktop", ''Channel Insider'', December 12 2008]</ref> DesktopDirect can remotely boot up PCs that are in the “off” or “standby” states.

To access a remote desktop, self-registration starts with a user in the office, sitting at the [[Personal computer|PC]] that will be controlled remotely. The user browses to a specific [[URL]] to access the registration [[Enterprise portal|portal]]. The user logs in upon seeing a prompt for [[credentials]], enters the hostname and description of the desktop PC, and registration is complete.

Remote control of the office PC starts with the user sitting away from the office, at a remote PC. The user browses to a specific URL, known as an access portal, and again logs in upon a prompt for [[credentials]]. A list of registered office PCs is then displayed, so the user can select which office PC to view and control. The user then logs into and controls the office PC.

This is possible from any [[Web browser|browser]] and [[Internet]]-attached [[computer]]. DesktopDirect only delivers the presentation [[Network_switch#Layer-specific_functionality|layer]] remotely. This minimizes [[Bandwidth (computing)|bandwidth]] consumption and increases support for [[concurrent users]].<ref name="Broackmann & Company">[http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:dX_9vDV4ecgJ:www.brockmann.com/index.php/200805091299/Mobile-VoIP-Applications/Interop-Array-Networks-Delivers-User-Defined-Terminal-Service.html+interop-array-networks-delivers-user-defined-terminal-service.html&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us " Interop: Array Networks Delivers User-Defined Terminal Service", ''Brockmann & Company'', May 9 2008].</ref>

== Application Delivery Controllers ==

The Array Networks (AppVelocity) APV Series consists of [[Application delivery controller|Application Delivery Controllers]] for [[SSL acceleration]], [[Load balancing (computing)|load balancing]] and [[traffic management]] at [[Network_switch#Layer-specific_functionality|Layers]] [[Network_switch#Layer_2|2]]- [[Network_switch#Layer_7|7]] for enterprise [[data centers]] and Web sites. The APV Series is available on a variety of [[Platform (computing)|platform]] sizes, uses 60% less power and cuts response time by 50%.<ref name="Network World">[http://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/accel/2008/033108netop2.html/ "Array Networks on a Green Streak", '''Network World''', April 22 2008]</ref>

In 2009, Array launched an upgraded application delivery controller for enterprises and service providers using [[Web_2.0|Web 2.0]] applications, [[multimedia]] services and [[Software_as_a_Service|hosted]] [[cloud_computing|cloud-centric]] applications.<ref name="NetworkWorld">[http://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/accel/2009/060809netop2.html "Array debuts 10Gbps acceleration gear", '''NetworkWorld''', June 11 2009]</ref>
