Global Remote Access Services (RAS)

Download brochure (PDF)

Global Remote Access Services (RAS) are pivotal to the modern global enterprise as they allow remote or frequently traveling employees to securely access corporate information and resources regardless of their location. Service providers not only offer customers access via multiple network technologies such as dial-up, hotel broadband, WiFi, ISDN, DSL and wireless WANs, but they have made the services easier to use and manage with user and IT-defined prioritization options.

A variety of security services are also offered to make sure that remote users do not compromise corporate data; these include both perimeter and end-point solutions that make sure users are authenticated, and data is protected according to company policies for anti-virus, personal firewall, intrusion detection and other security provisions.

Current Analysis tracks these rapidly-evolving offerings with the Global Remote Access Services Product Assessments. Detailed analysis of each vendor’s service allows you to understand the Global RAS landscape and stay on top of the competition.
