Orange offers cloud-based secure access

French operator Orange has expanded its cloud computing portfolio with Flexible SSL, a remote access service that allows users to connect with enterprise resources securely, it said on Monday.

Flexible SSL allows users to connect via, for instance, Wi-Fi, 3G or fixed broadband networks using desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets, according to Orange Business Services. The service is based on the Junos Pulse platform from Juniper Networks, and can scale from about 10 to thousands of users, so it is a good fit for both smaller and large enterprises, Orange said.
