  • Next generation secure gateway
    Patent number: 9286444
    Abstract: A system includes a cloud-computing infrastructure to provide multitenant access from a public Internet Protocol (IP) network and multiple instances of a virtualized secure gateway operating on one or more physical devices within the cloud-computing infrastructure. The multiple instances of the virtualized secure gateway provide a point of entry to a private IP network. Each instance of the multiple instances of the virtualized secure gateway is configured to terminate multiple virtual private network (VPN) tunnels from a single customer accessing the private IP network via the public IP network, and each instance of the multiple instances of the virtualized secure gateway resides on a different processing core of the physical devices within the cloud-computing infrastructure.
