KoolSpan Recognized By IT Industry Leaders for Revolutionary Remote Access Solution

KoolSpan announced that it has been selected to demonstrate Remote Access without a VPN at PC Forum 2005 in Scottsdale, AZ.

Scottsdale, AZ - March 21, 2005 KoolSpan, Inc., the developer of network security systems, has been selected to show its' VPN-less Remote Access solution at PC Forum 2005, the premier IT industry gathering for the senior executives, investors and policymakers. This week in Scottsdale, Arizona KoolSpan will show it can fulfill the promise of a Virtual Private Network without the limitations, infrastructure, and complexity required by VPNs. KoolSpan's powerful solution allows users to securely access any network application from any location, thus stretching the reach of the internal network to the user. Remote users function on the network as if they never left the office, regardless of whether the user is accessing the network wirelessly, using VOIP, or running a business application.

KoolSpan's revolutionary design and unparalleled solution to today's Remote Access problems caught the attention of Esther Dyson, a technological and business visionary who runs PC Forum and is editor of Release 1.0, the industry newsletter owned by CNET Networks. Dyson invited KoolSpan to demonstrate its solution at PC Forum, an IT executive conference widely revered for its strategic outlook and business discussions about current industry themes.

"What appeals to me about Koolspan is its promise of a simple-to-the-user solution that hides a lot of complex, reliable technology underneath," said Dyson. "Making remote access feel local and operate securely is a huge win as people spend more and more time traveling, and as private work groups become more and more geographically dispersed."

PC Forum brings together leading IT industry executives to consider the state of the industry, examine competition, and forge new partnerships. It has attracted top business leaders, entrepreneurs, visionaries and analysts from the technology industry over the past twenty-seven years.

"It is a great opportunity and honor for KoolSpan to be selected to demonstrate at PC Forum, and at the invitation of Dyson, an industry thought leader" said Tony Fascenda, CEO of KoolSpan. "PC Forum is the ideal venue to share our solution with the highest caliber technologists, policymakers, and investors who have the power to change the industry. We believe they will understand just how significant a shift we have made to the future of Remote Access solutions".

KoolSpan's technology is exceptional as it doesn't require a VPN to deliver Remote Access. It allows the user to connect as a true LAN peer, not just a proxy user, from anywhere. It is native to both wired and wireless networks and requires no infrastructure build up to support it. "The complexity of our product for both the end user and the network administrator resides under the hood of our product, where it should be", says Fascenda. "The end user experience of local connectivity is maintained even when the user is outside the office, and requires no configuration. For the network administrator, the KoolSpan product easily deploys in minutes, and is able to protect the entire network, or a specific asset, regardless of the network infrastructure. Ongoing management is simple, providing a uniquely positive experience for both end users and administrators."
