Remote Users
Our managed IT service is designed to ensure that you can enjoy the benefits of our virtual private network (VPN) solution. This enables you to have reliable, remote network access to your office email and files through a secure firewall. The VPN solution also allows completely secure communication between sites if you have more than one office location.
Benefits
- Exploit the functionality that you have in the office while you are at home
- Access your email securely from anywhere in the world
- Share files, resources, printers and personnel over your VPN network
>> Home Use
We can equip remote users with a fully managed and supported home desktop or notebook that mirrors the machines you use in your office environment. All the functionality that you enjoy in the office is available to you at your home location, including Outlook (rather than a web-based browser) for your email.
Your home machine will be accompanied by a VPN device, which gives you secure access to your office LAN, allowing you use of information stored there. This device will also be acting as a personal firewall, keeping unwanted intruders out of your home network.
>> Travel
If you choose to travel with your notebook, the same VPN client installed on a home machine will give you access to your office LAN and your email once you have logged onto the Internet, anywhere in the world. And if you don't want to take a notebook with you, you can access your email (but not the LAN for security reasons) from any Internet cafe in a remote location.
>> Multi-Office
Virtual IT offers major benefits to companies with multiple locations. The VPN technology we install effortlessly connects your sites to allow you to share files, resources, printers, and personnel.
However our VPN solution and 24 hour VPN support are only some of the invaluable advantages we can provide for our UK and international clients.
>> Blackberry
Blackberry devices are used to provide and facilitate "email on the move". They work by connecting to the Internet through a mobile telephone SIM card. This card uses its GPRS functionality to retrieve and send email. Virtual IT is able to offer you an enterprise Blackberry solution providing fully managed email.
