Increased Mobility

A few years ago a networks had set boundaries, but mobile devices have broken this mould and user-owned Smartphones and pads have further weakened the IT department’s control and security. Now IT departments need to manage their network in a different way, looking for new solutions to security and ensuring consistent application delivery and performance regardless of location or device.

Remote workers and homeworkers expect the same application performance as in the office but delivering this to multiple devices, with different configurations, through different networks is complex. In addition, mobile devices accessing the network wirelessly pose a serious security threat, especially when a device is lost, stolen or hacked. This means that access to an organisation’s WAN or LAN requires access permissions, but the job of controlling permissions and ensuring security can be complex, time-consuming and irritating for the user.
