This provides network managers more control over the computing environment of at-home employees and offers remote users a consistent and more productive experience. Progent's virtual desktop services include Windows Remote Desktop support and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops VDI expertise.
  • Routers connect at-home computer networks to the Internet and typically support VPN connections, local wireless connectivity, and firewalls.

  • Home Wi-Fi networks, typically shared by the whole family and visitors, are commonly utilized by at-home employees to connect to their router for work.

Progent can help businesses to resolve these problems by providing services that include Aironet configuration consulting, Cisco-certified Meraki WiFi installation expertise, and Ubiquiti wireless AP integration assistance.
  • Internet connectivity methods affect the performance and availability of connections between telecommuters and the corporate data center.
