Infrastructure for an At-Home Workforce
Configuring the physical and software infrastructure needed to support an at-home workforce can be especially complicated if you have to accommodate a combination of personal hardware like PCs and notebooks, routers, and wireless APs from different manufacturers and with a mix of operating systems and firmware releases. Progent's experience delivering remote help for both outdated and modern IT products in virtual office venues enables you to make efficient use of your existing infrastructure and offers ready access to expertise for making essential updates. Support services available from Progent to help you to implement a productive work-at-home ecosystem include:

  • Virtual Private Network (VPN) connectivity allows you to create a secure tunnel for authenticated at-home employees to use IT resources located at your company data center or in the cloud. Progent's consultants can assist your company to configure and manage VPN connections between your at-home workforce and your key IT resources by providing online VPN integration consulting. For businesses using Cisco's ASA security appliances, Progent's Cisco ASA experts can help your at-home workers to set up Cisco's AnyConnect client software for secure VPN tunneling for a wide range of endpoint devices including Microsoft Windows, macOS, Apple iOS, Linux, and Android.
  • Virtual Desktop Infrastructure platforms enable a telecommuter to see and use a remote PC's desktop. This technology gives network managers substantial control over the digital ecosystem of at-home employees and offers remote users a familiar experience. Progent's VDI consulting services include Windows Remote Desktop support and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops VDI solutions.
  • Routers attach home networks to the Internet and typically support VPN connections, home wireless connectivity, and firewalls. Progent offers expert remote consulting for setting up routers from a range of vendors. See router configuration services from Cisco-certified consultants.
  • Home Wi-Fi networks, typically supporting an entire household and guests, are frequently used by at-home employees to access their router for work. This can cause throughput and security problems. Progent can assist you to resolve these problems by providing expertise like Aironet configuration expertise, Cisco Meraki WiFi installation expertise, and Ubiquiti WiFi access point integration assistance.
  • Internet connectivity methods impact the performance and availability of connections between at-home workers and the corporate network. Mission-critical applications might require redundant Internet connections in case the primary connection breaks. Progent offers guidance for selecting ISPs, choosing sensible service bundles, and integrating fault-tolerant Internet connections. See Internet access integration services.
