Government
In certain government organizations, security policy dictates that classified
information must be restricted and isolated within precise security boundaries.
Users must have the appropriate clearances to access sensitive information and
the computers, networks, and applications within the perimeter of each secured
area.
The Secure Network Access Platform for Government provides a single desktop
that securely controls access to compartmentalized IT resources. For many
government customers who run applications at different security levels or
compartments, implementing the Secure Network Access Platform Reference
Architecture can greatly simplify user access, reduce IT acquisition and
maintenance costs, enhance availability, and improve inter-agency
collaboration.
The Secure Network Access Platform for Government was created under a Sun
initiative known as Sun Infrastructure Solutions, which strive to simplify the
delivery of complex, enterprise-wide, networked computing systems. This
solution encompasses a set of software and hardware components that Sun has
integrated into a proof-of-concept environment. Customers can leverage this
solution to reduce implementation complexity, minimize risk, and shorten
time-to-deployment. The Secure Network Access Platform is designed to help
organizations decrease complexity and risk, and can contribute to a lower
overall total cost of ownership (TCO).
