The Problem
Hybrid work models are now mainstream and more employees are working remotely than ever before. Plus, most enterprises engage with external contractors and developers too. To conduct their work, enterprises must provide these people with access to corporate networks, from wherever they may be working. Two major challenges have emerged: The points of possible intrusion for malware and ransomware attacks has increased exponentially, and application performance problems for users who are far from the corporate datacenter slow productivity.
CIOs have tried various methodologies to support remote work – traditional VDI deployments and remote access through a VPN, laptops on SD-WANs, and shipping hardware back and forth, among others. These solutions suffer from a host of problems including unreliable user experience, lack of performance due to high latency, and complex management. This results in:
- Lower productivity
- Increased project delivery times
- Unpredictable cost overruns
On-premises VDI solutions, VPNs and physical PCs can’t keep up with today’s business requirements.
