Infrastructure for a Remote Workforce
Setting up the network infrastructure required for an at-home work environment can be particularly complex if you have to accommodate a mix of worker-owned equipment like desktop computers and laptops, Internet routers, and Wi-Fi appliances from various manufacturers and with a variety of operating systems and firmware releases. Progent's experience delivering remote support for both outdated as well as current IT products in remote office venues enables you to make efficient use of your available network infrastructure and provides you with fast access to top-tire consultants for making necessary upgrades. Services available from Progent to help you to implement a high-functioning work-at-home ecosystem include:
- Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology makes it possible to establish a safe connection for authenticated at-home employees to access IT assets situated at your company data center or in the cloud. Progent can help you to deploy and manage VPN connections between your at-home workforce and your various network resources by providing remote VPN integration support. For businesses with Cisco's ASA firewalls, Progent's Cisco ASA Firewall experts can assist your remote workers to utilize Cisco's AnyConnect software for secure VPN connections for a wide selection of endpoint devices such as Microsoft Windows, macOS, iOS, Linux, and Android.
- Virtual Desktop Infrastructure products allow an at-home worker to view and use a data center computer's desktop. This provides IT managers more control over the computing ecosystem of telecommuters and ensures them a consistent and more productive experience. Progent's virtual desktop services include Windows Remote Desktop support and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops VDI solutions.
- Routers attach home computer networks to the Internet and typically support VPN tunnels, home Wi-Fi networks, and firewall services. Progent offers expert online support for integrating home routers from a variety of manufacturers. See router configuration services from Cisco-certified consultants.
- Home Wireless networks, often supporting families and guests, are frequently utilized by at-home employees to access their Internet router for work. This can cause performance and cybersecurity problems. Progent can help businesses to resolve these problems by delivering services like Cisco Aironet integration consulting, Cisco Meraki wireless deployment consulting, and Ubiquiti WiFi AP setup assistance.
- Internet connectivity solutions affect the performance and reliability of connections between telecommuters and the company data center.
