| Free Secure Remote Access, Not Just Another Citrix Alternative |

"The Problem: A few months ago I realized I had a real problem that needed to be solved and solved fast. What is the problem you ask? Simply put, I need a way to securely connect to all my applications, servers, and files across my entire working environment. When I say "working environment" I'm including all the different networks I'm required to connect to. For example, I must have access to our remote web server hosted by a different company. I must also point out that I'm not the only person in my company that needs access to these resources and I'm also sometimes required to give contractors access too. All this needs to be easy and secure and I realized I was anything but secure and it was anything but easy. Don't get me wrong, when I think of remote access I think Citrix. I do have a Citrix Presentation Server farm severing up a vast majority of my applications and most of the desktops we need access to. My problem is that a few of the desktops I need to connect to are hosted elsewhere so I don't have access to install a hardware solution such as a Citrix Access Gateway or traditional VPN appliance nor do I have the ability to bring up a Citrix Presentation Server to serve up the desktop and administrative applications I need to access."
