Remote access extends the benefit of your network resources to mobile and home workers whilst allowing data to be consolidated at a central location.

An effective and efficient solution is to connect to the corporate network across the Internet through a virtual private network (VPN). A VPN utilises 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 is becoming increasingly effective as the speed of broadband Internet connections steadily increase..
