New 7.0 Feature: Virtual Appliance – Demo & Training Edition (DTE)

IVE 7.0, Virtual Appliance

The Juniper SSL VPN Virtual Appliance-Demo and Training Edition (VA-DTE) is a live and ready.  Just download it from the Juniper web site and enjoy.  And yet, it is the full Juniper SSL VPN.

A few caveats worth mentioning:

  1. There is a hard-coded limit of 2 concurrent users.  We are still considering bumping that up to 3 at  some point in the future, but we really need to see what needs emerge around that before we can make that big of a jump.  I know it doesn’t seem like that that much more, but it actually is, given that for every one we add we start to creep that much more into our SA700 business.  But for now, if you need to run more than 2 concurrent users, just bring up another VA-DTE and you will be all set.
  2. Support is provided by Juniper resellers and field sales teams.  JTAC will not support this at all.  The reason should be pretty clear: (a) the product is free and (b) there is no support contract available whatsoever.
  3. This is only available to existing customers (including all of you channel and technology partners out there).   But please remember that you must already be covered under an existing support contract for the SSL VPN product before accessing these files.  If you do, then you will have a valid logon that will entitle you to download this package.  Otherwise, you will just need to contact your friendly Juniper reseller.

    thanks

    I will post that link just as soon as I get it. There is just a bit of internal process lag in getting it posted.

    Need the link, too.

    BIG THX

    I am working on getting that made available and really hope to have it out there by next week. There are just a few hurdles to clear internally before putting a 400+MB file out there for dowload. :-)

    Thanks for your employment. We have a cluster of 2 SA-2500 and i want to test th new 7.0 before i will put in on our production system. Is the DTE running on the ESXI, too or do i need to have an ESX?

    Thx for your great site, it´s in my bookmarks, now :-)

    The good news is that the download page for the DTE version has been built and should launch on the 12th. I will post the link just as soon as it goes live.

    Are there any plans to publish such a VM for the UAC series?

  8. pkc  •  Jul 12, 2010 @11:35 am

    are there some plans for other virtual appliances ?
    (junos, srx, uac, sbr, etc).

    let’s pray today the dte will be released.

    The DTE should actually be up by the end of the day (PST). That was the plan from our web guys right before Juniper had the mandatory shutdown week in the US. We do hope to get a DTE version of the UAC product out with 7.1.

    Any update on when DTE will be available or the link?

  11. Chris Campbell  •  Jul 14, 2010 @10:29 am

    Any news on the link? I’m in the middle of some customer testing and could really do with it!

  12. KevinPeterson  •  Jul 19, 2010 @5:54 pm

    It is now live. Make sure you check out my other posting as well. http://kevpeterson.com/?p=319
    And note that even though JTAC can’t support this (because we don’t have support contracts on demo and training editions), you can always hit me up here for any questions or suggestions.
