 When you have five IT technicians supporting over 2000 aviation professionals andbusiness partners, you canÂ't waste time with remote access solutions that aredifficult to configure or troubleshoot, said Glen Becker, IT Manager, Trans StatesHoldings.  You simply need remote access control that works. Aventail allows for thegranularity that we need to enable secure universal access to a wide range ofapplications for the multitude of people accessing the network.Â
Trans States Airlines Implementation
If you travel in the Midwest or Eastern US, youÂ've likely flown Trans StatesAirlines (TSA). TSA carries over 3.4 million passengers with over 300 flights to 62cities as a quality regional feeder airline for American Airlines, United Airlines,and US Airways. Before Aventail, TSA had several problems in giving their employeesremote access. Employees had to learn several different systems, and IT resourceswere strained to support previous VPNs. TSA technicians experienced nightmares intrying to configure the network in order for pilots to access sensitive informationfrom a wide range of end point devices from anywhere. Further, third party vendorshad difficulty accessing the network and TSA had difficulty conducting remote vendortraining with their existing system.
Aventail EX-2500 enterprise SSL VPN solution provides TSA's 2000 aviationprofessionals with a secure remote access solution with seamless connectivity thatworks easily and dependably. It also allows for differing levels of access toresources by employees and partners demonstrating their credentials andauthenticating through AventailÂ's granular security policy.
 With Aventail, TSA has already experienced more productivity, increased managedsecurity and easier management, said Becker.
Now TSA managers can securely access and download files from their corporate networkfolders from home, and administrative staff can safely view sensitive informationsuch as on-time departure statistics securely from across the firewall. Pilots haveaccess to flight plans and documentation from wherever their routes may take them,over any Web-enabled device. And vendors get dependable access to authorizedresources. Additional hops and related troubleshooting bottlenecks have beeneliminated. Vendors can now train remotely, saving money for both them and TSA.Furthermore, with Aventail Connect Mobile, executives using PDAs are able to accessthe same desktop they saw in the office from anywhere on the road.
