Central applications deployment and ultra-secure, on-demand access

Remote access is now a staple of business life. Organisations of all sizes are realising the benefits of staff working from home or other office locations. Yet access to corporate applications from networks and devices which are not part of a regular LAN or WAN can lead to severe security and compatibility problems.
