How
does EverLink assure privacy on the Internet and your
corporate intranet?
The urgent
need for privacy in Internet and intranet transactions
is a concern for all who conduct any form of business
on the web (for more on information security issues,
visit the Computer
Security Institute web site). Given the ease with
which hackers have been able to break into computer
networks, you are probably asking yourself, How
can I protect my own computer network? We, at
Anyware Technology, have a solution. Our EverLink Suite
can provide secure file transfer, e-mail, and instant
messaging capabilities between geographically remote
computers using HTTP (Internet) protocols even when
the computers involved use different operating systems.
In addition to a secure web-hosting functionality, EverLink
can also provide secure and private communications between
computers on opposite sides of a firewall without
breaching the firewall and while keeping the network
behind the firewall totally invisible to outsiders.

| What
Remote business scenarios would be enhanced using EverLink?
Any scenario
involving communications between remote computers can
be enhanced with EverLink.
Mobile
Workers/Outside Sales With EverLink, sales
personnel are just an Internet connection away from
up-to-the-minute pricing, inventory, and delivery information.
They can add new sales presentations and update presentations
already on their laptops. Mobile workers can open files
in remote computers while you maintain complete
control of what data they can access and exchange
files with others inside and outside the office.
Relationships
with Business Partners You can give customers
and suppliers easy access to information they need without
compromising confidential information. Customers
can communicate securely with logistics personnel --
in real time or via e-mail -- to track orders and download
technical support files. Suppliers can access specifications
for new products and send you files with information
on their new products.
Platform-Independent
Machine Administration Because EverLink uses
Internet Protocols, your information services department
can quickly distribute files required to be on all computers
across the network.
Securely
connect with your corporate database,
read your email and private documents from ANY remote,
online computer with the SRAC
Server.
|
| What
advantages in communicating with remote and mobile workers
does EverLink offer compared to other data communications
technologies?
EverLink
is easy to use, yet very secure. System administrators
can control who has access to specific information on
each computer inside and outside the firewall. They
can also control what information and files can be sent
from one computer to another. When compared with other
technologies such as Remote Access Servers, the EverLink
Suite is easier to use and less expensive to implement.
|
| What
advantages does EverLink offer for internal behind-the-firewall
data communications?
With the
EverLink Suite, your employees can use familiar Internet
browsing techniques to access data on computers behind
your firewall -- as well as information on the Internet
-- on computers used by remote and mobile workers, and
on computers at customer and supplier locations. Yet,
you maintain complete control of who has access to what
files and of which files can be transferred from one
computer to another.
In addition,
unlike most internal e-mail systems, EverLink makes
internal e-mail, file transfers and real time instant
messaging totally secure. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
connections eliminate opportunities for interception.
Furthermore, sophisticated encryption makes messages
and files illegible by any unauthorized recipients.
For additional information about SSL, please visit the
Netscape Communications
Corporation web site.
|
| How
do I determine which components of the EverLink Suite
my organization will need?
If you
protect your internal network with a firewall and want
users on both sides of the firewall to exchange files,
you will need the EntryGuard Server and the EverLink
Client.
If you
dont have a firewall or if you use the EverLink
Suite only for communications between computers outside
your firewall or only for communications inside your
firewall, the EntryGuard Server and EverLink Client
will meet your needs.
|
| How
can I arrange a demonstration of EverLink?
A free
60-day trial version of EverLink is also available.
However, you are more than welcome to contact
us, and we will be happy to answer any questions
you may have about EverLink and how it can meet your
needs.
|
| How
can I arrange to test EverLink for my organization?
Please
contact us and we
will be pleased to establish an EverLink Suite evaluation
arrangement for your organization.
|
| How
can we license EverLink?
EverLink
is now available directly from Anyware Technology. In
the near future, EverLink will be offered only through
Value Added Resellers (VARs) and Systems Integrators.
Complete licensing information is available on the How
To Buy page.
|
| What
effect will implementing the EverLink Suite have on my
bottom line?
The EverLink
Suite requires no investment in networking hardware
and associated installation costs. Due to the EverLink
clients intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI)
and easy-to-use Web browser interface, end user training
is minimized. It requires minimal administrative time
for set up and maintenance.
Finally,
the EverLink Suite should significantly reduce corporate
monthly telecommunications costs through its use of
the public Internet and user access via local telephone
numbers to an ISP. When compared to alternate solutions,
the EverLink Suite offers secure e-mail, instant messaging,
and file transfer at a higher return on investment.
Due to these benefits, the EverLink Suite offers a financially
attractive solution towards the need to lower an organization's
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

How
is EverLink superior to a VPN?
To briefly
sum up two main points, EverLink is superior to VPN's
in that it requires no special connections and no setup
connections - VPN's do. Also, EverLink offers a true end-to-end
(or client-to-client) connection, whereas VPN's only offer
server-to-server connections; the vital link between client
and server is left unprotected, and open to hackers. For
