Enterprise Teleworker Design
Al the remote edges of the network is another branch office known as enterprise teleworkers. Cisco developed a solution called Cisco Virtual Office Solution, which was designed with the enterprise teleworker in mind. As organizations continually try to reduce costs and improve employee productivity, working from home is becoming an increasingly popular option for businesses and organizations. This approach allows employees to manage their work schedules more effectively and increase their productivity. This also results in greater job satisfaction and flexibility in the work schedules. The work- from-homo teleworker is an extension of the enterprise and serves as the basis for the enterprise teleworker solution.
Hnterprisc teleworkers need to be differentiated from the occasional remote worker. The full-time enterprise teleworker has more extensive application access and requirements than the occasional remote worker. Occasionally, remote users connect to the corporate network at a hotspot, but generally they do not have the same application demands of an enterprise teleworker. Generally, enterprise teleworkers connect to a local ISP through a cable or DSL connection in their residence.
The ClSGO Virtual Office Solution for the Hnterprisc Teleworker is implemented using the Cisco 800 series ISRs. Each ISR has integrated switch ports that then connect to the user's broadband connection. The solution uses a permanent always-on IPsec VPN tunnel back to the corporate network. This architecture provides for centralized IT security management, corporate-pushed security policies, and integrated identity services. In addition, this solution supports the enterprise teleworker needs through advanced applications such as voice and video. For example, the enterprise teleworker can take advantage of toll bypass, voicemail, and advanced IP phone features not available in the PSTN.
