Secure Personal Desktop access without stressing out IT.

Personal Desktop

webNetwork's Peronsal Desktop allows employees to access their corporate desktop from anywhere without compromising security or creating large management nightmares. With Personal Desktop organizations can securely publish a user's desktop so an employee has access to his applications, files, and email from anywhere. Most importantly, Personal Desktop integrates seamlessly into the corporate network environment. Leveraging Microsoft's Active Directory or Novell's eDirectory, IT managers can ensure that users cannot freely publish their own desktops without proper access control assignments in place.

Security

Stoneware understands that the limiting factor to remote desktop access is security and access control. Stoneware's two-tier architecture delivers remote desktop access that meets the requirements of the harshest security director. The webNetwork Server/Relay configuration (Diagram 1a) allows the webNetwork Relay to communicate with the remote workstation via the webNetwork Server. This design limits communications between the security device and the local workstation therefore eliminating the need for creating "holes" in the internal firewall. In addition, Personal Desktop's integrated network management allows organizations to control which users and groups can gain access to their corporate desktops. With security concerns taken care of, organizations are free to start solving real business problems.

• Control access to corporate desktops through network user/group management and organizational role assignments
• Securely access internal desktops without creating "holes" in the internal firewall for each desktop
• Encrypts all communications over SSL
• Ensure users only access their workstation
