Remote Network Access - The WorkVPN Solution

The advent of affordable broadband connections at both the office and home has allowed us to offer the WorkVPN Solution. This gives our customers the ability to safely work from home or on the road. The WorkVPN Solution combines the security of a firewall with the convenience of Microsoft's WindowsXP and Windows2000/2003 Terminal Server software. The end result is a reliable means for employees to gain access to all files, email, printers, and other office resources from home.

Key Advantages
There are several key advantages to providing users with remote access.

• Increased productivity
  Employees will gain the ability to work from home during periods they might otherwise be unavailable. For example this lets an employee work while tending to sick children, saving him or her from using sick days. Some customers have even adopted policies letting employees work from home a specified number of days per month, saving commute time and boosting morale.

• Low administrative overhead
  The WorkVPN Solution maintains low overhead for IT support staff. In most cases, IT administrators need not visit each house or apartment to setup individual computers. Simple, easy to follow instructions are created for end users to take home and implement.

• Safe and secure
  While users are provided complete access to their office workstation or a Terminal Server, the firewall provides protection against outside intrusion. If a home user has an infected computer, viruses will not be able to spread over the link to the office. This keeps the office network safe from home machines.
