Business Communications Review Names Shiva LanRover
Best Overall Remote Access Product
Shiva's LanRover/8E PLUS Cited as 'A Perennial Winner' Among Remote
Access Servers
BEDFORD, Mass., Nov. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Shiva Corporation (Nasdaq: SHVA - news) today
announced that Business Communications Review has named Shiva LanRover(R)/8E PLUS the
Best Overall Remote Access Server (RAS) and Most Full- Featured Remote Access Product. ''A
perennial winner in RAS product tests, Shiva again takes top honors... There are few features you'd
want in a RAS product that aren't in this one,'' stated the comparative review in the publication's
November issue.
Shiva LanRover/8E PLUS received the highest total score of the eight midrange remote access
servers tested and outranked its competition for installation and ease of use, and for its full feature
set. The review, conducted by Mier Communications, a Princeton, N.J., network consultancy and
product test center, included products from Shiva, Cisco, 3Com/U.S. Robotics, Bay Networks,
Digital Equipment, Xyplex and RAD Data Communications. In addition to installation/ease of use
and features, the servers were judged on the basis of configuration, management and administration,
and performance.
The reviewers praised the Shiva LanRover/8E PLUS for having one of the most intuitive and
graphical interfaces and for being one of only two servers that ''supported bridging of the vintage
but still popular NetBEUI protocol_ Shiva's support for NetBEUI bridging is complete, over both
client dial-in and LAN-to-LAN dialup connections.''
Among the features of Shiva LanRover/8E PLUS, Mier Communications specifically cited its
''sophisticated built-in user database software, which even supports multiple LanRover servers.''
The review also noted, ''The Shiva Net Manager software is slick, intuitive and easy to use'' and
was one of the two most effective products for remote access monitoring and management. Shiva
LanRover/8E PLUS was also cited for its ''superb'' online documentation.
''Our top priority at Shiva has always been to provide the highest-quality remote access products,''
said Dan McCall, senior director, product management/product marketing for Shiva. ''In a market
as competitive and rapidly changing as remote access, it is very gratifying to be called 'a perennial
winner.' We are indeed very pleased to receive this latest in a series of comparative product
reviews.''
