PARIS, Nov. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- EKINOPS
(Euronext Paris - FR0011466069 – EKI), a leading supplier of
optical transport and enterprise connectivity solutions, today
announces the launch of SD-WAN Home Office Connect, a compact
networking solution tailored to support enterprises in overcoming
the performance, security and legal challenges of managing remote
working.
Utilizing Ekinops' SD-WAN Xpress embedded in an
employee-dedicated Ekinops router, enterprises can establish a
secure remote VPN connection from the employee's location to the
branch office. Combining broadband LTE and WiFi connectivity, the
solution maximizes the power of the existing enterprise
infrastructure to deliver the same connectivity speed, security and
efficiency as onsite. Highly programmable, the solution isolates
business traffic from personal traffic, enabling corporate rules
and applications to be applied to remote connections, without
affecting worker privacy. This also allows enterprises to consider
a more permanent move to a remote working model and benefit from
the cost savings of not managing a physical office space.
The SD-WAN Home Office Connect launch responds to increased
demand for remote working connectivity solutions following the
global pandemic and worldwide lockdown measures. A Gartner Inc.
survey of 229 HR leaders in April
2020 revealed that nearly 50% of organizations reported 81%
or more of their employees are working remotely during the
coronavirus pandemic and it is now predicted that 25-30% of
the workforce will be working-from-home multiple days a week by the
end of 2021, according to research by Global Workplace
Analytics.
"In recent months, companies across the globe have faced the
sudden challenge of remotely connecting their employees quickly and
securely. But since flexible working has been a rising trend for
well over a decade now, service providers and enterprises alike
need a robust, cost-effective and simple solution to support remote
connectivity long term," comments Marc Bouteyre, Head of
Virtualization at Ekinops.
"Many remote workers have experienced performance challenges due
to their low-grade WiFi at home and the continuous mix of personal
and business traffic. Equally, many enterprises have been feeling
the increased business security risks, left at the mercy of their
employees' network security at home. Our new solution caters to
these needs and ensures that connectivity issues are ironed out for
remote workers and enterprises alike," adds Bouteyre.
SD-WAN Home Office Connect is based on Ekinops OneOS6, a
user-friendly modular software solution that enables a range of
built-in services to be activated remotely and on-demand to empower
automation and greater programmability.
Combining years of enterprise access expertise with the
flexibility of SD-WAN, the SD-WAN Home Office Connect extends the
reach of the enterprise network to adapt to this more distributed
model, guarantying seamless security and performance and offering
an all-in-one answer to networking challenges.
