Infrastructure for Teleworkers
Configuring the network infrastructure required to support an at-home work environment can be particularly complex if you have to manage a combination of personal hardware like PCs and laptops, routers, and wireless APs from different vendors and with a mix of operating systems and firmware levels. Progent's experience providing remote support for both legacy as well as current technologies in virtual office solutions enables you to make cost-effective use of your existing infrastructure and offers fast access to top-tire consultants for making necessary updates. Services available from Progent to help you to implement a high-functioning telecommuting ecosystem include:

  • Virtual Private Network connectivity allows you to establish a secure connection for authorized at-home workers to access IT assets situated at your company datacenter or in the cloud. Progent's consultants can assist your company to deploy and manage VPN connections between your teleworkers and your various network resources by providing online VPN integration support. For businesses using Cisco's ASA firewalls, Progent's Cisco-certified ASA Firewall experts can help your at-home workers to set up Cisco's popular AnyConnect software for safe VPN tunneling for a broad range of devices such as Windows, Mac, Apple iOS, Linux, and Android.
  • Virtual Desktop Infrastructure products enable an at-home worker to view and interact with a data center computer's desktop. This provides network managers significant control over the digital environment of telecommuters and offers remote users a consistent and more productive work experience. Progent's VDI services include Windows Remote Desktop support and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops expertise.
  • Routers connect home computer networks to the Internet and support VPN connections, local Wi-Fi connectivity, and firewall services. Progent can provide expert online consulting for deploying routers from all major manufacturers. See router integration services from Cisco-certified consultants.
  • Home Wi-Fi networks, typically shared by the whole family and visitors, are commonly utilized by telecommuters to access their Internet router for work. This can create performance as well as security issues. Progent can help businesses to resolve these problems by delivering expertise that include Aironet configuration expertise, Cisco-certified Meraki wireless installation consulting, and Ubiquiti Unifi wireless access point setup help.
  • Internet access methods affect the speed and reliability of connections between at-home workers and the corporate network. Business-critical applications might demand backup Internet connections in case the primary connection breaks. Progent offers guidance for selecting Internet service providers, choosing sensible bandwidth and data volume packages, and setting up high-availability Internet connections.
