Nathan McClean
As the Everywhere Workplace continues to expand across the world, businesses demand the solutions they choose have the security, speed, reliability and the power to handle larger and ever-more complex data while remaining easy to manage, easy to deploy and easy to maintain. As the work-from-home movement continues to ripple across every industry, ensuring employees have the tools and connectivity they need anytime, anywhere is the key to success.
Announcing the ISA-6000 Hardware Appliance
The ISA-6000 hardware appliance features massive performance improvements across the board, with throughput speeds for SSL and ESP traffic showing a 3X to 4X improvement in lab testing. The ISA-6000 now includes two 1/10Gbit ports for faster connectivity, fast 6Gb/s solid-state storage, double the RAM of the PSA-5000 series appliance and an onboard TPM chip to ensure software and operating system integrity.

*Performance metrics are measured in a lab environment using industry-standard performance tools. Production performance will vary based on the complexity of the configuration.
On top of the bevy of performance and security enhancements, the rack-mounted ISA-6000 appliance is physically smaller than the previous generation with a compact 1U chassis that is less than 300mm deep and only requires 200W of power.
Telemetry and analytics
The ISA Series appliances are designed from the ground up with analytics in mind. With enhanced telemetry and customizable syslog output, ISA series appliances can easily be added into an existing enterprise monitoring solution like Ivanti Neurons for ITSM, and an expansive API library allows power-user administrators to script and automate to their heart’s content.
Centralized management and analytics are available through Neurons for Secure Access, Ivanti’s cloud-hosted management platform for Ivanti Connect Secure deployments.
Google Cloud platform support
Ivanti Security Appliances supports virtual cloud deployments into Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and now Google Cloud Platform. Standing up an ISA appliance in the cloud is as easy as deciding on the size of the deployment, uploading the ISA image into staging and deploying into the environment. Ivanti provides deployment scripts and detailed instructions to make your deployment go as smooth as possible.
Easy virtual deployment
With user-based subscription licensing, quickly and easily deploy virtual gateways as needed, when needed, no platform license required. Pair with an optional Ivanti Connect Secure License Server for easy centralized licensing.
End user enhancements
A redesigned user portal expands functionality for administrators to host applications and virtual workspaces for their users. With full HTML5 support, users can remotely access their desktops, files and intranet sites from any modern browser, no software installation necessary. When combined with the Ivanti Desktop Client, administrators have an extensive and powerful tool enabling endpoint Host-Checker security enforcement, multifactor and password-less SSO authentication, certificate management and custom scripting capabilities.
With the release of the Ivanti Security Appliance (ISA) series, businesses can quickly and securely deploy remote access to their data centers and their cloud deployments anywhere around the world.
