Embrace SharePoint Across Your Enterprise with Vordel SharePoint Gateway

Microsoft SharePoint is a very popular enterprise collaboration platform. SharePoint is just so easy to deploy that each department is quick to stand up its own SharePoint site. These sprawling SharePoint sites are often managed locally and consequently fail to conform to IT policies and standards. This creates challenges for IT in the areas of security, performance and accessibility. Vordel API Server offers a SharePoint Gateway solution to help enterprises make their SharePoint deployments more secure, more accessible and deliver a better user experience.

Single Sign-On (SSO) Across SharePoint Instances with Vordel SharePoint Gateway

SharePoint relies on Microsoft security technologies Kerberos, NTLM and ADFS for access control. This tight integration works well in an all-Microsoft environment, but makes integration to enterprise access control and SSO platforms very complex and difficult. Integrating SharePoint with tools like CA SiteMinder or Oracle Access Manager usually involves a delicate concoction of agents, caches, and custom code. Vordel API Server provides out-of-the-box, agent-less SharePoint SSO integration with all the leading access management products. Vordel further simplifies SSO by integrating with Windows desktop sign-on. A user can access SharePoint instances without ever entering his credentials in the browser.

Simplify Mobile & Remote Access with Vordel SharePoint Gateway

SharePoint's reliance on Windows and Active Directory security infrastructure makes mobile and remote access difficult. Making mobile and remote access work across multiple SharePoint sites using an enterprise access management platform is complex. It involves complicated caching, exchange, and redirection of Kerberos SPNEGO Tokens, SharePoint Service Tickets and proprietary access tokens such as Oracle ObSSO cookies or CA SiteMinder session tokens. Vordel API Server provides pre-wired orchestration and hides the complexity from the users and the SharePoint servers. Vordel helps IT leverage enterprise access management platforms to secure mobile and remote access to SharePoint, without resorting to point solutions designed specifically for just SharePoint mobile and remote access.

Make SharePoint Faster With Smart Cache Management from Vordel

As more data is shared via SharePoint, its performance often slows down and frustrates users. Much of the content hosted on SharePoint sites is relatively static. Frequently accessed documents such as policies, templates, and reports tend to be the most static of content. SharePoint performance can be greatly improved if the delivery of content is made more intelligent. Vordel API Server provides a cache management service to automatically detect requests for static content and force a reload from the browser's cache. Vordel drastically reduces SharePoint traffic volume and has proven to improve SharePoint performance by a minimum of 30% out-of-the-box.
