Network Infrastructure for an At-Home Workforce
Integrating the network infrastructure needed for an at-home workforce can be particularly challenging if you must accommodate a mix of worker-owned hardware like desktop computers and laptops, Internet routers, and wireless APs from various vendors and with a mix of operating systems and firmware levels. Progent's background delivering online support for both legacy and modern technologies in virtual office venues allows you to make cost-effective use of your existing infrastructure and provides you with fast access to top-tire consultants for making essential upgrades. Support services available from Progent to help your company to create a high-functioning telecommuting infrastructure include:
- Virtual Private Network (VPN) connectivity makes it possible to create a secure connection for authorized remote workers to use IT resources situated at your corporate datacenter or in a public cloud. Progent's consultants can help you to configure and maintain VPN connections between your at-home workforce and your various network resources by providing online VPN configuration consulting. For businesses with Cisco's ASA security appliances, Progent's Cisco-certified ASA Firewall experts can assist your remote workers to utilize Cisco's AnyConnect software for safe VPN connections for a broad selection of devices such as Microsoft Windows, macOS, Apple iOS, Linux, and Android.
- Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) platforms enable a telecommuter to see and interact with a data center PC's desktop. This gives network managers substantial control over the computing ecosystem of at-home employees and ensures remote users a consistent and more productive work experience. Progent's VDI consulting services include Windows Remote Desktop integration and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops VDI solutions.
- Routers connect at-home computer networks to the Internet and typically support VPN connections, home Wi-Fi networks, and firewall services. Progent offers top-tier remote support for setting up home routers from a range of manufacturers. See router integration support from Cisco-certified consultants.
- Home Wi-Fi networks, often shared by families and visitors, are frequently utilized by telecommuters to access their Internet router for work. This can cause throughput as well as security issues. Progent can help you to resolve these problems by delivering expertise like Aironet integration expertise, Cisco Meraki WiFi installation expertise, and Ubiquiti Unifi WiFi access point setup assistance.
- Internet access solutions impact the speed and availability of connections between telecommuters and the corporate network. Vital applications might demand redundant Internet connections in the event the normal connection fails. Progent can provide guidance for picking ISPs, selecting appropriate bandwidth and data volume offerings, and setting up high-availability Internet connections. Refer to Internet connectivity integration services.
