Shiva tapped by Icon CMT for VPN offering By John Rendleman, PC Week Online October 29, 1998 3:21 PM ET Shiva Corp. said it has been selected as an equipment vendor for a managed virtual private network service being developed by Icon CMT Corp. for corporate LAN-to-LAN and remote access applications. The two-year deal with an undetermined dollar value calls for Icon CMT, of Weehawken, N.J., to use Shiva's LanRover VPN Gateway as part of Icon's secure, managed VPN service, which will provide private, encrypted connections into the public Internet to link corporate customers with remote workers, branch offices and business providers, Shiva and Icon officials said. The Shiva LanRover VPN Gateway solution gives service providers the ability to offer VPN services with IPSec-compliant secure tunneling, encryption, firewalls and X.509 digital certificates, said Shiva officials in Bedford, Mass. Icon CMT has operated its VPN service internally since this summer as a test of the offering's LAN-to-LAN and remote dial capabilities, said Doug Mow, vice president of business development at Icon CMT. The VPN service is available today on a customized basis, Mow said, and will be available in a fully commercial offering by Dec. 1 for LAN-to-LAN services and in the first quarter of next year for remote dial, according to Mow. The Shiva equipment provides a single source for the routers and firewalls used in the service, as well as encryption and tunneling solutions used to secure customers' data links, Mow added. Shiva, which on Wednesday reported a third-quarter loss of $300,000 on sales of $31.7 million, can be reached at www.shiva.com. Icon CMT is at www.icon.com.
