When extreme weather conditions, transportation strikes or other catastrophic events occur, they can result in the isolation of groups of people for an unexpected period of time. A prime example of this was the flash blizzard that hit Britain at the start of February 2009, stopping over 20 percent of the British workforce from making it into the office.
No-one likes to think the worst, much less plan for it, however if a catastrophic event did occur - how would your organisation cope, especially in the current economic climate?
One answer is to ensure that employees can access the corporate network from remote locations (Remote Access). This is not a new technology and the majority of organisations implement it to some degree for mobile workers. However in a large organisation it is not economically viable to give all staff remote access all the time. What is needed is emergency access, at a fraction of the cost.
This is where Secon and Juniper come in with the In Case of Emergency licence for Remote Access.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY USE ICE
Effectively balancing risk and cost, the Juniper Networks Secure Access ICE solution ensures business continuity, by helping organisations instantly address a dramatic peak in demand for remote access in cases of emergency. ICE is a one-time purchase that can be activated for up to eight weeks. It does not have to be renewed every year. It’s not a contract. It has a timer that runs for up to eight weeks that keeps ICE running to maintain service for a peak in demand. ICE can be employed for a limited time to:
-
Maintain productivity by rapidly enabling ubiquitous access to applications and information for employees from anywhere, at any time, and on any device
-
Sustain partnerships with around-the-clock real-time access to applications and services while securing and protecting resources
-
Continue to deliver exceptional service to customers and partners with online collaboration
-
Meet government mandates for contingencies and continuity of operations (COOP) compliance
