Permeo Introduces Full Support for Microsoft® Office Live Communications Server 2003

DALLAS, TX (ots)

Permeo Allows Organizations to Extend
Industry-Leading Collaborative Application to Remote Employees,
Partners, Customers, and Other Third Parties Without Any Additional
Client Side Software
Permeo Technologies, the Application Security Gateway market
leader with more than 30 percent of the Global 100 as customers,
today announces support for Microsoft Office Live Communications
Server 2003, Microsoft's new enterprise real-time communications
server. Through support of Live Communications Server, Permeo
Application Security Gateway (Permeo ASG) v5 allows organizations to
extend secure remote access to traveling and telecommuting employees,
partners, suppliers, and other third parties. Enabling Live
Communications Server to extend beyond the LAN to the WAN, Permeo ASG
allows organizations to maximize the productivity benefits and return
on investment from the latest and most advanced collaborative
service.
With more than 300 customers worldwide, Permeo long has been
recognized for providing a flexible, high-performance application
security gateway to enable secure SSL-encrypted remote application
access from any public or private network. With Permeo ASG deployed
in an organization's DMZ, remote employees, partners, and customers
can have native access to business critical enterprise applications
without requiring any client-side software and without deploying
network-layer solutions, such as IPSec VPNs. For enterprises rolling
out Microsoft's Live Communications Server, providing anytime
anywhere access to instant messaging, white boarding, video
conferencing and other collaborative capabilities, will be critical
as these services often are most useful when users are distributed
geographically and un-tethered from the LAN. Permeo ASG now allows
SSL-encrypted secure access to all of the features of Live
Communications Server without connecting either locally or with an
IPSec VPN to the corporate network.
"Microsoft Office Live Communications Server and Permeo
Application Security Gateway together provide an enterprise-grade
collaboration solution for secure remote access," said Taylor
Collyer, director of marketing for Live Communications Server at
Microsoft. "We're excited to have Permeo as a partner enabling our
enterprise customers to extend native access to Live Communications
Server to traveling and remote users."
Benefits of the Permeo-enabled collaboration solution include:
--  Secure remote access from any network, including from behind
        third-party firewalls 
   --  Access control by user and/or group 
   --  Native application user experience -- no "webified" or   
       limited- functionality applications 
   --  No client-side software to install on the user's device 
   --  No network layer connections and no open and vulnerable
       firewall ports 
   --  User-friendly installation, configuration and administration 
   --  Maximized ROI for Live Communications Server as no user is
       ever out-of-reach
"Businesses are taking great advantage of collaborative
applications to drive business effectiveness while measurably
reducing costs. Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2003 has
jumped to the front in providing a robust, enterprise-oriented
collaborative solution that has ignited the market," commented Andrew
Morbitzer, vice president of marketing with Permeo Technologies.
"Permeo is excited to be a partner with Microsoft and our early
customer engagements show that our solution combination will make a
tremendous competitive difference for companies who need to bring
together their customers, partners and employees."
About Permeo Application Security Gateway
Many CIOs and network security managers face a common problem
today: how to enable their businesses to have access to the
applications they need without undermining network security. Because
traditional network security products are designed to limit access to
the network, any increases in access to applications for employees,
partners, and customers result in a corresponding decrease in network
security. Permeo Application Gateway provides the ideal solution
which allows an enterprise to extend the applications to the users
who need them irrespective of what network they are on and without
compromising network security.
About Permeo Technologies
Enabling secure access to any application through any firewall and
across any network, Permeo Technologies is the world leader in
Application Security Gateways with over 300 global customers and more
than 30 percent of the Global 100. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas,
Permeo was founded in June 2001 as a privately held spin-off from
NEC, Inc. For more product information please contact Permeo at
