In the 90's and early 2000's, e-Gap was enhanced to provide comprehensive reverse proxy features that included in-depth filtering of inbound traffic to ensure the security of the web servers and applications it protected. The product was originally built to offer sneaker-net services and shortly thereafter features to enable HTTP connections were added. It consisted of an appliance housing a 512k memory chip that toggled connections between two servers via a SCSI bus.
Whale's initial product, e-Gap, was designed to create physical separation between networks of disparate trust levels. Unified Access Gateway was originally developed by a startup company named Whale Communications in Rosh HaAyin, Israel. Microsoft discontinued the product in 2014, although the Web Application Proxy feature of Windows Server 2012 R2 and later offers some of its functionalities. UAG is part of the Microsoft Forefront offering. UAG was released in 2010, and is the successor for Microsoft Intelligent Application Gateway ( IAG) which was released in 2007. Its services include reverse proxy, virtual private network (VPN), DirectAccess and Remote Desktop Services.
