Network Infrastructure for Telecommuters
Integrating the network infrastructure needed for an at-home work environment can be particularly complex if you must accommodate a mix of worker-owned equipment like desktop computers and notebooks, Internet routers, and wireless appliances from different manufacturers and with a mix of operating systems and firmware levels.

Support services offered by Progent to help you to implement a productive work-at-home infrastructure include:

  • Virtual Private Network (VPN) connectivity allows you to create a safe connection for authenticated remote employees to use IT assets located at your corporate data center or in a public cloud. Progent can assist you to deploy and manage VPN access between your at-home workforce and your various network resources by providing online VPN configuration support.

This technology provides IT managers substantial control over the digital environment of at-home employees and ensures them a consistent and more productive experience. Progent's virtual desktop consulting services include Windows Remote Desktop support and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops VDI consulting.
  • Routers attach at-home networks to the Internet and typically support VPN connections, home Wi-Fi networks, and firewall services. Progent offers expert remote consulting for configuring routers from a variety of vendors. See router integration support from Cisco-certified experts.
  • Home Wireless networks, typically supporting an entire household and guests, are frequently utilized by telecommuters to access their router for work. This can cause performance and cybersecurity issues. Progent can help businesses to resolve these issues by providing services like Aironet integration expertise, Cisco Meraki wireless installation consulting, and Ubiquiti Unifi wireless access point integration assistance.
  • Internet connectivity methods affect the performance and reliability of connections between telecommuters and the company data center.
