URA Removes Challenges and Complexity of Providing Remote Access Services

Remote access is a complex challenge for IT administrators. Providing network access to remote users involves a broad set of technologies including security, advanced networking challenges and support for a variety of end-user devices including home PCs, laptops, tablets, PDAs and smart phones. The URA appliances series helps remove most of these challenges by providing a broad set of remote access services all in a plug-and-play appliance experience.

URA Capabilities - Provide Access to a Variety of End-points

• Remote Managed Desktops: Microsoft DirectAccess provides an always-on, always-managed seamless remote access experience for remote managed corporate users utilizing the full power of Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate, or Windows 8 Enterprise end-points. DirectAccess can allow network access for corporate computers that reside in remote locations such as a user’s home or small remote office. These remote systems are centrally managed using the standard management technologies used by IT departments to manage local computers including: Active Directory GPO policies, patch management via Systems Center Operations Manager or other systems, internal DNS, and CIFS network shares.
• Remote Unmanaged Desktops and Mobile Devices: URA-UAG and URA-Combo utilize Microsoft’s Unified Access Gateway 2010 (UAG) to provide remote access capabilities to unmanaged remote computers and devices such as home PCs, tablets, smartphones, and other consumer devices that are also accessed by non-employees. UAG provides reverse-proxy publishing to corporate services such as Outlook, Lync, SharePoint and most client/server based services through a single web portal.

Support Multiple Customers with a Single Appliance

In the URA appliance series, each virtual machine running DirectAccess, UAG, Site-to-Site or other remote access technology is independent and isolated from other customer tenants. Therefore, remote access technologies can be dedicated and isolated to specific customers allowing for multi-tenancy. One customer may only require DirectAccess while others may need a broader range of technologies.
