Deploy Unified Access Gateway Appliance

Unified Access Gateway
is an appliance that is normally installed in a demilitarized zone (DMZ).
Unified Access Gateway
is used to ensure that the only traffic entering the corporate data center is traffic on behalf of an authenticated remote user.
Unified Access Gateway
directs authentication requests to the appropriate server and discards any unauthenticated request. Users can access only the resources that they are authorized to access.
