Simplify your infrastructure
G/On is a complete end-to-end secure remote access solution that handles authentication, connectivity and security in one single product. G/On does not connect the remote PC to the network, rather, G/On connects the user to the individual applications. Consequently, you avoid most of the issues you normally face when you make remote connections.
If you currently use a VPN for remote access you are also burdened with a number of different products to address different connectivity and security issues. On the other hand, G/On allows you to eliminate the need (and cost) of these components:
- Laptop for every person
- Authentication tokens (ie. RSA) and related server
- Certificates and certificate server
- VPN clients and concentrator
- Device scanning tools & client filtering
- DMZ infrastructure with additional firewalls, routers and switches
- Intrusion detection
Leverage your office desktop PC’s.
It is very likely that you have already invested in desktop PCs for your employees. Without any additional investment, you can use G/On to provide all of your employees with remote access directly to their office desktop. G/On saves you the otherwise required investment in Citrix and/or Microsoft Terminal Server, authentication tools, certificates, additional software licenses for office and business applications, and related hardware. With one single solution – G/On – you can provide remote access for all of your employees in one easy, single step.
Not only will your employees experience increased flexibility but you will also see an increased use of the desktop PCs you have already invested in. With a simple “One PC, One G/On” for each employee you have made sure that employees can do their job at all times at all places.
Make Citrix truly portable.
Many corporations and organizations are using Citrix. Integrating the G/On USB key with Citrix creates a completely portable Citrix client with built in secure connectivity that can be used on any PC without any need for installing Citrix and VPN’s. With G/On, every employee in an organization can now access Citrix from their home or wherever they are just as if they were in the office.
Working with external contractors?
The use of external contractors is growing rapidly as organizations attempt to reduce costs by outsourcing operations to external contractors or companies with large scale specializations. Such an outsourcing process almost always involves the issue of opening up key IT applications to external people. This is often a long, complex, and very costly process requiring expensive build out of existing IT infrastructures. In some cases, you most provide dedicated PC equipment for each external contractor.
G/On is the ideal solution when you are outsourcing your operations to external contractors or companies. With G/On, you can define exactly which applications a person or groups of people have access to and it is done in a matter of hours. With G/On, there is no need to buy PCs for the external contractors; they simply use the PCs they already have. And the contractors are happy as well as they don’t need to take care of yet another PC. Provide them a G/On USB key and they get going!
Give users more flexibility and options.
With G/On, your users will have access from any PC to their office PC and the company intranet. And this will be accomplished through a single sign on with complete accountability (One User – One USB key). From any remote location, while they are travelling or working from home, G/On will be bringing users to their data – rather than data to the users.
It doesn’t have to be difficult and expensive.
Even if you have already invested in a traditional remote access solution we do not suggest you replace it with another big investment in G/On. We do suggest you stop expanding your current remote access solution and use G/On for any additional users with a need for remote access. You should not expand your current solution as it will keep increasing in complexity and will require more and more resources for you to manage.
Introduce G/On now and you have taken the first step toward a simpler infrastructure in the future. We believe you will quickly find G/On so much simpler to manage that soon you will move your entire user base onto G/On.
Is your user community really happy?
Ask yourself these questions:
- Do you have a satisfied user community? Are they able to work effectively from remote locations or from home?
- How many resources are you using to keep the remote solution running and users happy?
- Will you even be able to scale remote access to your entire organization with your current staff?
If these questions raised concerns we suggest you stop expanding your current remote access solution and use G/On for any additional users with a need for remote access.
Can you manage company policies?
Do you have a good understanding of the security profile of your current configuration? Are the products up to date? Are they compatible with each other? Who has the complete overview of the firewall configurations? Who manages your VPNs and how are they configured? How often do people get full VPN access to solve a problem while they really weren’t supposed to have VPN access? Have you thought about the fact that every time a new VPN access is added it increases the overall vulnerability of your network?
Introduce G/On now and you have taken the first step toward a simpler infrastructure in the future. We believe you will quickly find G/On so much simpler to manage that soon you will move your entire user base onto G/On.
