Network Infrastructure for Teleworkers
Setting up the physical and software infrastructure required to support an at-home workforce can be particularly challenging if you have to accommodate a mix of worker-owned equipment like PCs and notebooks, routers, and wireless APs from various manufacturers and with a variety of operating systems and firmware levels. Progent's background providing online support for both legacy as well as current technologies in remote office solutions allows you to make cost-effective use of your available network infrastructure and provides you with ready access to top-tire consultants for making essential updates. Services offered by Progent to assist you to implement a productive work-at-home ecosystem include:

  • Virtual Private Network (VPN) connectivity makes it possible to create a secure connection for authorized at-home employees to access IT resources situated at your corporate datacenter or in a public cloud. Progent can assist you to configure and maintain VPN access between your at-home workforce and your key network resources by providing online VPN configuration support. For organizations with Cisco's ASA security appliances, Progent's Cisco-certified ASA Firewall consultants can assist your at-home workers to set up Cisco's popular AnyConnect software to provide secure VPN tunneling for a wide range of endpoint devices such as Windows, Mac, Apple iOS, Linux, and Google Android.
  • Virtual Desktop Infrastructure products enable a teleworker to see and interact with a data center computer's desktop. This gives network managers significant control over the computing ecosystem of at-home employees and offers remote users a familiar work experience. Progent's VDI services include Windows Remote Desktop support and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops VDI expertise.
  • Routers connect home networks to the Internet and typically support VPN connections, home wireless connectivity, and firewalls. Progent offers expert online support for configuring routers from a variety of vendors. See router integration services from Cisco-certified experts.
  • Home Wi-Fi networks, often supporting families and guests, are frequently used by telecommuters to connect to their router for work. This can cause throughput and cybersecurity issues. Progent can help you to resolve these issues by delivering services that include Cisco Aironet configuration consulting, Cisco-certified Meraki WiFi installation consulting, and Ubiquiti WiFi AP setup help.
  • Internet access solutions affect the speed and availability of connections between at-home workers and the company network. Business-critical applications may demand backup Internet connections in case the normal connection fails. Progent offers expertise for identifying ISPs, choosing appropriate bandwidth and data volume packages, and configuring high-availability Internet connections.
