Outsourcing: Six Critical Things to Consider About Choosing the Best VPN Remote Access Solution

Overview Outsourcing is a question that has become standard among IT organizations regarding help desk, hosting, and many other IT areas. This question is now being asked about remote access and endpoint security.

There are many options to choose from for enterprise VPN remote access, so where does one begin? If you have not considered a new breed of remote access and end-point security solutions, you don't know about the capabilities and savings that are easily within reach. Much like WebEx and SalesForce.com have changed the way we view service providers in their space, an integrated, complete remote access service (software-as-a-service model) is changing how we view VPNs and end-point security.

Listen as Positive Networks' Jason Sloderbeck, VP of Security & Service Delivery, and Evan Conway, EVP of Channel Management, directly address six critical areas to consider before making this strategic decision. Topics include:

Internal capabilities and expertise
Rollout and support
The technology itself
What will your users touch/see/feel
ROI/cost
Risk and the ability to change

You'll also hear real-world case studies about enterprises that have undergone this IT decision and what drove them to swap out their hardware-based VPNs for an online, managed VPN service.

Now available on demand, this Positive Networks-sponsored Webcast is your chance to find out what's driving real-world enterprises to swap out their hardware-based VPNs for an online, managed remote access service.

The Bloor Perspective: Mobile IDs, Novell does Linux and Adobe PDF mindshare

As enterprises move from desktops and fixed offices to laptops, PDAs and mobile networks, the problems intensify. The network centric view of it as a utility is too simplistic, as the devices connected are too smart, too independent, too personal.

Convergence: lower costs and extra flexibility - the IP VPN promise

That IP VPNs can lower operational costs - along a demonstrable ROI curve - but can also add a great deal of extra flexibility into the way a business works, is a double whammy for IT buyers eager to shine.

However, couple added functionality with the traditional ROI argument and new developments such as managed IP telephony services, and the proposition is compelling for both new and existing offices. Everyone now accepts that it’s a case of 'when...

Carriers' fortunes change with IP
