Network Infrastructure for Telecommuters
Integrating the physical and software infrastructure needed for an at-home workforce can be particularly complicated if you must manage a mix of worker-owned equipment such as PCs and notebooks, Internet routers, and wireless APs from different manufacturers and with a mix of operating systems and firmware releases. Progent's background providing remote help for both outdated as well as current IT products in virtual office venues enables you to make cost-effective use of your available infrastructure and provides you with ready access to top-tire consultants for making necessary upgrades. Services offered by Progent to help your company to implement a productive telecommuting infrastructure include:
- VPN connectivity makes it possible to establish a safe connection for authorized at-home workers to access IT resources situated at your company data center or in the cloud. Progent can assist your company to deploy and manage VPN connections between your at-home workforce and your various network resources by providing remote VPN configuration support. For organizations with Cisco's ASA security appliances, Progent's Cisco ASA Firewall consultants can assist your remote workers to utilize Cisco's popular AnyConnect software to provide secure VPN tunneling for a wide selection of endpoint devices such as Windows, macOS, Apple iOS, Linux, and Android.
- Virtual Desktop Infrastructure products allow an at-home worker to view and use a data center computer's desktop. This technology gives network managers more control over the digital ecosystem of telecommuters and offers remote users a familiar experience. Progent's virtual desktop services include Windows Remote Desktop integration and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops expertise.
- Routers attach home networks to the Internet and typically support VPN tunnels, home Wi-Fi networks, and firewall services. Progent offers top-tier online support for integrating home routers from all major vendors. See router integration support from Cisco-certified consultants.
- Home Wireless networks, often supporting the whole family and guests, are frequently used by at-home employees to connect to their Internet router for work. This can cause throughput as well as cybersecurity problems. Progent can assist businesses to mitigate these problems by delivering expertise that include Aironet integration consulting, Cisco Meraki wireless deployment expertise, and Ubiquiti Unifi wireless AP integration help.
- Internet connectivity methods impact the performance and availability of connections between telecommuters and the company network. Line-of-business processes may demand backup Internet access in the event the normal connection fails. Progent can provide expertise for selecting Internet service providers, picking sensible bandwidth and data volume offerings, and setting up high-availability Internet connections.
