Mobile Worker/Telework

 

Applications

Mobile WorkerIndustry estimates reveal that 67% of employees work outside of company headquarters and the number of mobile and distributed workers is expected to continue rising. At the same time, geographical and technological limitations present significant challenges to globally enabling these remote workers while still promoting collaboration and productivity. Many organizations address these issues by building out IT infrastructure at remote offices, which is a viable option, but often adds significant costs and administrative overhead

Aruba Networks and Riverbed Technology offer a unique alternative that provides unparalleled mobility, security, and performance for global enterprises with distributed branch offices and mobile workers. Using this new joint solution, users can connect wirelessly anywhere within the office or at a remote location and securely access applications in a distant data center with LAN‐like performance. The Aruba infrastructure enables this level of mobility and ensures that the and ensures that the access experience and security policies are consistent as the user moves and Riverbed accelerates application performance wherever users connect. As a result, the worker is freed from their desks and the office with consistent access to applications and data.

THE REMOTEWORKER IS NO LONGER REMOTE
By 2009, IDC forecasts approximately 550 million office workers will require mobile access and 75% of businesses project increases in their mobile user base. Companies wishing to leverage the value of information in the competitive marketplace will need to provide unconstrained access to applications and data for their employees.

With Riverbed’s Steelhead® Mobile client software and Aruba’s wireless access points (APs), remote users are no longer remote. Steelhead Mobile extends the power of Riverbed’s Steelhead appliances to the laptop and Aruba’s wireless technology can be easily deployed to telecommuters, full‐time road warriors, and consulting teams at customer sites. The joint solution overcomes distance and physical infrastructure limitations to untether the mobile worker and provide secure access to IT resources with LAN‐like performance. This combination dramatically alters how and where knowledge workers connect to the network without compromising their productivity or the ability to collaborate.

THE FUTURE BRANCH OFFICE‐ NO WIRES, NO SERVERS
Aruba’s wireless network infrastructure with Riverbed Steelhead products enables secure mobility with accelerated application performance. Together, the technologies establish a new paradigm for branch office deployment allowing companies to easily connect remote offices without deploying additional servers, wired infrastructure, or storage. Simply put, there are no wires or servers at the branch office, but remote users can still access corporate applications in real‐time.
