Remote Access - VPN

 

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. 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..

VPN forms an integral feature of many firewall systems. Academy can provide a range of VPN solutions using Windows Servers and most major brands of firewall device including:

Watchguard
Cisco
Juniper NetScreen
SonicWALL
Zyxcel

Academy 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.
