Datasheet: Remote Desktop and Server Access

Secure, effortless access to remote
desktops and machines without a VPN

Secure access to your systems from anywhere, on any device, through any web browser.

For remote work to succeed long-term, organizations need asecure, reliable and scalable way to provide employees with fastaccess to desktops and applications.
Virtual private networks (VPNs) are a common choice, but theyfall far short in several areas. They’re expensive and notoriously
difficult for IT personnel to configure and maintain – as well asfor end-users to use. VPNs also suffer latency, reliability andavailability problems.
When properly implemented, remote desktops are a compelling•	Remote desktops encourage users to store data on theenterprise’s network instead of local machines. Protection
is stronger inside the firewall because data can be properly
backed up and secured. Additionally, data is far less likely to
be misplaced and much more easily shared with others.

•	
Remote desktops are highly scalable, especially when they

don’t require an agent on endpoints. Images can be easily
standardized, and updates to desktops and applications can beautomated, since there’s no need to access individual devices.

alternative to VPNs.

•	The administrative burden for deploying, supporting andmaintaining a standardized remote desktop environment issignificantly less than it is for supporting distributed physicaldevices used by end-users.

•	
As long as the remote desktop solution doesn’t require anagent on endpoints, employees can use essentially any
machine for access, including their personal laptop andsmartphone.

•	
There is rarely any need to physically access an end-user’sdevice, which reduces overall support costs for company
assets.

•	
Remote desktops harden security for distributed workers
by making it possible to adopt a zero-trust architecture,something that’s not possible with most VPNs.

•	
Actions that distributed teams perform via remote desktops

are executed behind the enterprise firewall. As a result, they
enjoy the same protection from corporate security systems
that they would if they were working in a physical officeenvironment.
