Do you really need to go into work anymore? These days, with the right equipment, you can securely connect to your PC at work. You are provided with a desktop view of your PC. Only the screenshot images are transferred over the internet between your home and work. Speed is not a problem; you will virtually be in the office! In this article we will explain how this is possible and how we can securely accomplish this. We will also talk about the methods that we use to remotely access your networks and standalone PCs.
You can remotely access any resources in your office via a VPN (Virtual Private Network). There are two common types, remote-access and site-to-site access. This technology is secured with an encrypted tunnel over the internet. Which means you can use your existing broadband internet connection and not pay for pricey dedicated services. Northern Computer uses Cisco equipment most commonly to implement this secure, reliable tunnel.
A remote-access VPN is commonly used for home or mobile users. It uses the VPN software to connect into the office and access common resources such as files, databases, PCs and terminal servers. These resources can be accessed by logging in from any PC.A site-to-site VPN is used if your business has multiple locations. It uses the VPN enabled router on each end of your business to create the virtual tunnel. This enables you to connect remote offices to the main site for server access.
Northern Computer also uses several different remote access tools to provide remote support to help our clients. Sometimes we can use this same VPN technology to remotely connect into your network over a secure, encrypted channel. Whether your issue is server or workstation related, we can use this VPN software to remotely connect into your network over a secure encrypted channel. This allows us to quickly fix various computer problems. If you don’t have a VPN, no problem! We have a software based product that allows us to dial into your machine. It is as easy as punching in a key code and giving us permission. At any time, you have full control to disconnect us from your computer, making this a secure method for you and your files.
Give us a call at our office or email us at service@northerncomputer.ca to request remote support. This is the most efficient way for us.
