Remote
access solutions are becoming increasingly popular as telecommuting
and other needs are providing the ability for today's office
workers to be productive anytime anywhere.
Cierra
Business Solutions has a fundamental understanding
of the technologies required to implement remote access solutions,
many times using Virtual-Private-Networks (VPNs). VPNs allow
secure connectivity from the public internet to private corporate
networks.
Cierra Business Solutions
utilizes Cisco's VPN Concentrators and Cisco PIX Firewalls
to deliver client-to-site and site-to-site VPN connectivity.
The Cisco VPN family provides for robust security and compatibility.
Cierra can provide multi-form authentication and other "strong"
authentication methods. We also can provide ongoing support,
maintenance and reporting on the deployed solution.
In addition to offering VPN solutions,
Cierra Business Solutions can also support
technologies which compliment remote access. One example
is the use of Microsoft Windows 2000 Terminal Server in
combination with Citrix Metaframe products. The VPN is the
conduit into the network, and the Terminal Server is the
application server providing centralized managibility of
network applications.
Cierra Business Solutions
can completely assess your needs, provide recommendations,
implement, test, and support the remote access solution.
Our MSP services can also be used to remotely support and
report on the solution.
Cierra Business Solutions
can also integrate with Microsoft Active Directory and other
directories to provide for secure authentication using your
existing authentication methods currently deployed within
your network.
