benefits
Smart remote access helps make sure business operations work at optimal efficiency by creating secure connections between devices without physical limitations.
what is it?
Smart remote access helps users create a virtual LAN (Local Area Network) and access devices on the internal network. Secure all endpoints and enable safe file sharing without the barriers of a traditional LAN.
benefits
Manage your team’s workload, troubleshoot technical issues in real-time, and resolve them quickly to avoid working disruption to work.
Send files of any size safely and efficiently to and from any remote device with smart remote access —including data files, OS updates, etc.
Use smart remote access to create secure VPN connections between your network and external devices—easily facilitating remote workers.
Save on costs with a more economical means of storing large amounts of data or sizeable individual files than in the cloud.
CAPABILITIES
Access from anywhere is critical for modern working efficiency, but smart remote access offers further security potential to businesses and their users.
Provide safe connections to your organizational systems and on-premises servers from any location, by assigning trusted device names within the NordLayer app.
Smart remote access allows for easy file sharing between servers and devices connected through a virtual LAN—for smooth business operations.
IT admins using third-party tools may establish a remote desktop protocol (RDP) session - alongside smart remote access - to assume the operations of another device, where required.
GETTING STARTED
To enable smart remote access, you must first subscribe to NordLayer by selecting an Advanced Plan and downloading our app. Then, using the NordLayer Control Panel, create a virtual private gateway with dedicated server. Finally, enable the smart remote access feature by linking it to the gateway.
safety
NordLayer’s range of security features help today’s businesses protect their teams wherever they work and provides additional security for safe access to work applications and resources.
Additional info
A VLAN works much the same way as a local area network (LAN) but enables remote devices to establish a secure internet connection to business servers, or group with other devices, based on function rather than a physical site. Tools like smart remote access enable and secure these connections without the hassle of a traditional LAN like higher online traffic congestion or latency
RDP is a secure method of assuming the operation of one device from another—often used by IT admins. A client device connects to a host device from another site, allowing users to conduct operations on the host device remotely over the internet.
You can use several tools for file sharing with smart remote access including the majority of external file transfer protocol (FTP) tools and those provided as standard for Windows and Mac OS.
