If you're one of the millions in the Northeast lucky enough to escape the worst of Sandy, but now need to get back to work, gassing for a long ride is not the most productive way to catch up. many employees already have email as a primary connection for remote work but receives far. Most need access to applications and data that may not be available behind the company firewall.
In addition, there are meetings and collaboration with colleagues that are essential to do the job. But not everyone really needs to be in the office to do the job?

now, perhaps a good time to consider some of the options available from Citrix to get the organization back on track without adding hours of suffering commuting employees schedules.

work PC access at home with RemotePC
for organizations with PC in the office is an option to provide employees access from their home device (PC, Mac, iPad, whatever). This can be done safely under control with XenDesktop RemotePC functionality without VDI or server infrastructure. Companies with existing XenDesktop can extend virtual environments for employees with the PC desktop by installing a VDA (Virtual Desktop Agent) on the computer image and the registration of new designated employees. For companies without implementation of existing XenDesktop, its possible to install some virtual machines with XenDesktop broker required and the bridge to get up and running quickly. This implementation provides RemotePC successful access to employees working PC, but does not require a complete VPN with security risks from unsecured devices. The data is not sent to the remote computer only the user interface.
