Will you be attending the Microsoft Ignite conference in Orlando, FL next week? Let’s connect! I’m not giving any talks this year, so I will be spending most of my time with the folks at Pointsharp in their booth in the expo hall. Want to talk security, remote access, multifactor authentication, load balancing/application delivery, PKI, or anything else? Stop by and say hi! Follow me on Twitter @richardhicks for live updates. In addition, I’ll be hosting a happy hour event with NetMotion on Tuesday, September 26 at 6PM at the Rocks lounge in the Hyatt Regency hotel just across the street from the conference center. Be sure to drop in and say hello! Hope to see you there!

DirectAccess and NetMotion Mobility Webinar
Update: You can view the on-demand recording of this webinar here.
For many years, DirectAccess has been the gold standard for enterprise remote access. Its seamless and transparent operation improves productivity for mobile workers, and since it is always on, administrators enjoy improved visibility and management for their field-based assets.
As incredible as DirectAccess is, it is not without its limitations. For example, DirectAccess works only with Windows Enterprise edition clients that are joined to the domain. Professional Edition and non-domain joined machines are not supported. It also lacks many of the security features enterprise organizations require, such as device health checks and granular network access. In addition, DirectAccess communication is complex, with many different layers of encapsulation, authentication, and encryption. High protocol overhead can lead to poor performance over high latency or low bandwidth connections.
NetMotion Mobility is a secure remote access solution that is an excellent alternative to DirectAccess. It provides the same seamless, transparent, always on remote connectivity that DirectAccess provides, while at the same time offering much more in terms of features and capabilities. It supports a much broader range of clients, includes native Network Access Control (NAC) and application filtering, and offers enhanced performance.
To learn more about NetMotion Mobility, join me on Wednesday, September 20 at 10:00AM PDT for a free live webinar with NetMotion. I’ll provide an overview of NetMotion Mobility and how it compares with DirectAccess. I’ll also demonstrate how it can help overcome some of the inherent limitations of DirectAccess too. Register today!
