Infrastructure for an At-Home Workforce

This provides IT managers significant control over the computing ecosystem of at-home employees and offers them a consistent and more productive experience. Progent's virtual desktop consulting services include Windows Remote Desktop integration and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops VDI solutions.
  • Routers connect at-home computer networks to the Internet and typically support VPN connections, home wireless networks, and firewall services.

  • Home Wireless networks, typically supporting the whole family and guests, are commonly used by at-home employees to access their Internet router for work. This can create throughput as well as cybersecurity problems. Progent can help businesses to resolve these issues by delivering services like Aironet integration consulting, Cisco Meraki wireless deployment consulting, and Ubiquiti wireless access point integration assistance.
  • Internet connectivity solutions affect the performance and availability of connections between telecommuters and the corporate data center.
