Answer 1

It can provide you with remote access to a wide range of corporate applications, using a web browser as a ready-made access client.

As a dedicated network appliance, the platform integrates with existing network and security designs seamlessly. This translates into rapid deployment and easy installation - and then you can look forward to minimal maintenance.

The disadvantage of this mechanism is it may place limitations on the types of clients that can connect, but more importantly, it is only a onetime snapshot of a system.
