How Cisco IT Provides Remote Access for Small Offices and Telecommuters

Category: IT Management, Networking and Communications

Tags: vpn, work from home, software, management

Overview Many Cisco Systems employees have a need to work from home on a full-time, part-time, or occasional basis. In 2001, the company introduced a "Software" Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution to provide remote connectivity. The software solution presented limitations and management challenges. Cisco needed a way to increase the capabilities of home-based services while making deployment and ongoing management simpler, more secure, and less labor intensive. Cisco IT implemented a new, hardware-based solution - the Enterprise-Class Teleworker solution. The solution's four main constructs are end-to-end connectivity, end-to-end deployment, end-to-end management, and end-to-end security. The solution combines a router with a high-speed broadband connection at the employee's home.
