DaaS and VPN
The challenge
Your organization faces the challenge of providing secure and reliable remote access to employees and contractors, especially with the rise of hybrid work. Legacy VPNs can be vulnerable to security breaches and offer poor user experiences, while managing on-premises VDI is complex and costly. This leads to productivity losses, increased support tickets, and potential security risks. Choosing the right DAAS or modern VPN solution is crucial for maintaining business continuity and protecting sensitive data while optimizing IT resources.

DaaS and VPN addresses your unique challenges through modern solutions and key capabilities.
Unified cloud control plane
A central management layer that brokers connections to VMs, regardless of location, streamlining administration and enhancing visibility.
Context-aware access (ZTNA)
Granting access based on identity, device posture, and location, rather than a static IP address, bolstering security.
GPU workload support
Enables high-performance graphical processing in a virtual environment, essential for engineering, design, and data science teams.
Digital employee experience (DEX) monitoring
Real-time monitoring of latency, login times, and resource stress, allowing IT to proactively resolve issues and optimize performance.
Predictive scaling and AI-driven provisioning
Using AI to automatically right-size VM configurations based on user behavior, reducing waste and optimizing costs.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
Requiring multiple proofs of identity adds an additional layer of security to prevent unauthorized access.
