Forefront UAG (Unified Access Gateway)

Today I have attended a session @Tech-ed Berlin where the product Forefront Unified Access Gateway has been presented. Although the product is currently still in Beta. The Senior Product Manager told us that the RTM will be available before end of 2009. The product is the follow up from IAG 2007 (Intelligent Application Gateway).However UAG includes the follow up from ISA known as the Forefront Threat Management Gateway and it includes Microsoft DirectAccess which is a HOT product with high potential. Microsoft is promoting its any4vision. Access for any employee, business partner or customer from anyplace, anywhere from any device. A step forward that should eliminate the entire microsoft product thinking. Microsoft finally understands that it needs to supply acces form other platforms into their servers. Shortly after the Tech-Ed I will evaluate the Beta of UAG and you will find some interesting posts on my blog.
