Network Infrastructure for an At-Home Workforce

Services offered by Progent to help your company to create a productive work-at-home ecosystem include:

This gives IT managers more control over the digital ecosystem of telecommuters and offers them a familiar work experience. Progent's VDI consulting services include Windows Remote Desktop support and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops VDI solutions.
- Routers attach at-home computer networks to the Internet and typically support VPN tunnels, local wireless connectivity, and firewall services.

- Home Wireless networks, often supporting the whole family and visitors, are commonly used by at-home employees to connect to their router for work. This can create throughput and security problems. Progent can help you to mitigate these problems by delivering services like Cisco Aironet configuration consulting, Cisco-certified Meraki wireless installation consulting, and Ubiquiti wireless AP setup help.
- Internet connectivity solutions affect the performance and reliability of connections between at-home workers and the company network.
