Renewal SSL VPN Infrastructure for EPO, Rijswijk

Tender: Renewal SSL VPN Infrastructure 

Contracting Authority: European Patent Organisation – Rijswijk, The Netherlands

The EPO procured an Infranet-Controller cluster from Juniper (IC-4500). It works in combination with the second layer firewalls -Juniper SRX. The combination of Infranet Controller and Second Layer Firewalls provide secure access from the Wifi network. This was replaced in 2012 by the SSL-VPN solution from Juniper -Secure-Access. Two SA4500 clusters were installed, one in The Hague, one in Munich in the framework and a MAG2600 to manage the licenses between the different equipment. The SSL VPN solution is used for remote working in all EPO remote support contract. These systems need to be replaced.
