Xerity to support Aventail's growing SSL VPN sales and support in Italy



Bangalore, Dec 6th, 2006 - Leading SSL VPN product company Aventail is expanding its
distribution in Italy through a new agreement with Xerity, a newly established
security solution provider in the country. Xerity will provide sales and support to
Aventail's growing clientele in the region.



"With security being the top priority for enterprise and SMB customers, an
affordable solution with top class security features and protection is the
requirement today", said Andrea Polo, Deputy Managing Director, Xerity. "Aventail's
leading SSL VPN technology coupled with Xerity's expertise in providing innovative,
cutting-edge secure remote access solutions make this relationship a strong one", he
added.



Aventail\'s SSL VPN is a scalable, enterprise class, clientless solution based on
Aventail\'s proven Smart SSL VPN platform. Aventail\'s clustering and high
availability support with load-balancing is an ideal solution for hundreds or
thousands of users. The secure application platform is designed to provide
practical, easy-to-use anywhere access to Web, client/server, and file shares from
any device combined with simple manageability and usability. All of this makes it a
clear alternative to IPSec-based VPNs. Many of Aventail\'s customers worldwide are
replacing legacy IPSec solutions with the Aventail SSL VPN in order to have one
solution for all remote access scenarios.



"We are very excited to partner with Xerity in Italy to offer its existing and
future partners a more simplified, secure and cost effective anywhere access
solution, and to increase our market share in the region," said Jean-Pierre Carlin,
Aventail's Regional Director, South Europe. "By adding the best of breed SSL VPN
technology to its existing products portfolio, Xerity is now in a strong position to
help enterprises deliver secure anywhere access from any Internet-enabled device on
any network without the cost burdens of traditional remote access."
