Solaris 10 operating system. An ideal compliment for SUN servers running the
SunSSH utility is the newly released SSH Tectia ConnectSecure.

and features automatic and transparent FTP to SFTP conversion with a
configurable FTP fallback option for ease of migration and transparent FTP
tunneling. SSH Tectia ConnectSecure delivers advanced FTP SSH Tectia
functionality to SSH and OpenSSH servers, including SunSSH servers, without
modification to the existing infrastructure or applications.
SSH Tectia's support of Solaris Zones enables customers' to securely meet the
growing demand for virtualization capabilities as more enterprises adopt the

independent servers, completely isolated from one another, providing a level of
security previously unavailable. SSH Tectia and Sun Solaris provide powerful,
cost-effective solution with best-of-breed security features.
“Our support for Solaris Zones was the result of real-world needs by a wide
range of our major enterprise customers with critical data sensitivity
requirements,” said George Adams, president and CEO of SSH Communications
Security, Inc. “Now Sun users everywhere can enjoy the unparalleled protection
of SSH Tectia, whether they employ Solaris with Global or Local Zones. In
addition, we embrace Sun's commitment to the x86 hardware architecture and are
delighted that Solaris users can now enable end-to-end security with SSH Tectia,
