Global Roaming and Mobility
When your workers travel on business and need to gain access to office based resources such as email, documents stored on network fileservers and CRM or accounting systems, they typically require three components (in addition to their laptop or other mobile device):
- Internet access connectivity
- Secure VPN connection
- 2-factor authentication
For security of the mobile device in case of loss or theft, they will also require:
- Laptop Full Disk or mobile device encryption
For faster working and optimised WAN connectivity, they could benefit from:
- Mobile WAN Optimisation technology
Enterprise 'mobility' and 'global roaming' are widely used terms, but from the perspective of most organisations it boils down to the simple principle that mobile workers expect to get secure, high-speed internet and corporate network access whilst on the move, at airports, in hotels, shops, cafes and even mid-flight on airplanes.
What businesses want for their mobile workers is:
- Easy-to-use and consistent quality internet connectivity, with transparent and central billing, management and reporting
- Secure access to network-based resources via a VPN gateway
- Confidence that the individuals coming on to the network remotely are who they say they are
- Assurance that if the mobile device they are using is lost or stolen, any sensitive data stored on the device will not be accessible by 3rd parties
- Optimised access to files and applications for faster download and transfer times
The benefits of quality, secure, authenticated and optimised internet access for the user are without question. But the benefits to the wider organisation of combining all these components in a single solution are immense.
