Toronto, Canada-- (PR NEWSWIRE)—April 20, 2009 -- GDL, Inc.

Propalms has delivered the industries most cost effective hardened appliance, providing secure remote access to corporate applications from anywhere in the world.

Unlike many other SSL gateway vendors, Propalms provides full-fledged access to desktop applications and security rolled into one. Shawn Mears, Network Consultant for GDL, says Propalms VPN will no doubt become "the dominant method for remote access" for the company's primary customer-base. That's mainly because it provides a simple way to serve up Windows-based applications, including legacy applications, Mears says: "If you want the full desktop experience, Propalms is where you want to be whether it be for 5 users or 5000."

Prior to the release of Propalms VPN corporations had few options:

Citrix products are pricey, says Tarron Weir, vice president of network operations for HUB International Northeast, a commercial insurance broker in New York. To provide secure application access for 500 employees, Citrix was asking more than $100,000. "We felt it was exorbitant," says Weir, who opted instead for an SSL VPN appliance from Array Networks for $50,000.

Clarence White, CIO of Salvation Army USA West, concurs: "Citrix kills you with the per-seat pricing." His group, which covers 13 Western states, recently bought two Citrix Access Gateway appliances to give 6,000 workers access to an accounting system and other applications. Citrix charges $99 USD per user concurrently accessing a gateway; White estimates he will need to buy a license for 1,400 concurrent users—for a total of about $140,000.

As the long time Canadian distributor of Propalms TSE, GDL is proud to offer Propalms VPN as its latest offering in a line of products that continue to centralize, simplify, and secure your network!
