About BorderManager Authentication Services 3
BorderManager Authentication Services 3, which is also available as a component of the BorderManager
Enterprise Edition 3 Internet security management suite, gives organizations easy, secure, and central
control of access to their networks, dramatically reducing the cost of providing remote access
authentication. Based upon the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) Internet standard,
this Novell solution enables organizations to further reduce connectivity costs by outsourcing their
remote access infrastructure to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) while maintaining user control locally
in NDS. Retail pricing for BorderManager Authentication Services 3 begins at $995 for a server and
includes five free users.
