Remote access extends the benefit of your network resources to
mobile and home workers whilst allowing data to be consolidated at a
central location.
Traditionally remote access has been achieved by
connecting to a network using either ISDN or analogue telephone lines.
The cost
of call charges for this
solution can be significant, particularly from international
locations, and performance is limited to the connection speed.
A more effective and efficient solution is to connect
to the corporate network across the Internet through a VPN. A VPN
utilizes sophisticated encryption and encapsulation technology to
allow data to be securely transmitted across the Internet. Remote
workers and branch offices can establish network connections from any
location using their local Internet connection. This solution can be
used with standard dial-up access but is particularly effective when
high speed broadband Internet connections are used.
The VPN forms an integral feature of many firewall systems.
Compupros Unlimited can provide a range of IPSec, PPTP
and VPN solutions including the
SonicWALL Firewall system.
Compupros Unlimited can use remote access as a means to
monitor and support client systems which allows simple issues to be
resolved quickly and cost effectively. We have considerable experience
in implementing remote user connectivity and can provide an effective
solution to make your network resources available to all your
personnel.
