BANGALORE: IBM India Tuesday launched secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) for independent software vendors (ISVs) and business partners to provide remote access to its Innovation Centre. The new service will enable ISVs and business partners to use the IBM innovation centre remotely, reducing costs and enhancing software development. The service is the result of IBM's collaboration with V-ONE Corporation and Cisco Systems. "The VPN will allow ISVs and business partners to access IBM's centres from their offices, eliminating travel costs, benefiting from expertise of top engineers and increasing the number of products tested," a statement from the company said. In using remote access during porting and testing, ISVs will gain insight into how their applications perform over the Internet. The VPN service will support porting and testing using Linux, Windows, Solaris and AIX remote clients. According to IBM India country executive R. Dhamodaran, the geographically dispersed network of third-party software developers demands a technology that enables them to remotely access test environments with the confidence that all transmissions are secure. "Our new VPN offering allows remote testing of graphical user interface applications over the Internet, supporting leading technologies like Linux and the entire IBM eServer family," Dhamodaran said. The pilot project was successfully tested with IBM ISV, Subex Systems. Early this year, the solution partnership centre was renamed the IBM innovation centre for business partners.
