Overview of Dell SonicWALL SRA
The Dell SonicWALL SRA appliance provides organizations with a simple, secure and
clientless method of access to applications and network resources specifically for remote and
mobile employees. Organizations can use SRA connections without the need to have a pre-
configured, large-installation host. Users can easily and securely access email files, intranet
sites, applications, and other resources on the corporate Local Area Network (LAN) from any
location by accessing a standard Web browser.

SSL for Virtual Private Networking (VPN)
A Secure Socket Layer-based Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN) allows applications and
private network resources to be accessed remotely through a secure connection. Using SSL
VPN, mobile workers, business partners, and customers can access files or applications on a
company's intranet or within a private local area network.
Organizations use Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to establish secure, end-to-end private
network connections over a public networking infrastructure, allowing them to reduce their
communications expenses and to provide private, secure connections between a user and a
site in the organization. By offering Secure Socket Layer (SSL) VPN, without the expense of
special feature licensing, the SRA appliance provides customers with cost-effective
alternatives to deploying parallel remote-access infrastructures.
