HOB, Inc. Takes Aim at Cloud Computing with Secure Remote Access Product Line

HOB, Inc. today announced it has addressed the debate of public versus private cloud computing. Enterprises are progressively recognizing the advantages of central data storage. This trend is being driven by the promise of cloud computing. Whether public or private, the cloud demands centralized data and applications. Public cloud designs are, due to security concerns, all in all being hesitantly deployed. Private cloud solutions, nevertheless, are very much sought afterwards.

Private cloud is built

Once a private cloud is built and the data mutatis mutandis secured, access to data and applications in the cloud must be made possible. Earlier anything else, this access must be secure, however also flexible and practical. With this aim, HOB provides several remote access solutions to fit a company's specific needs, securely, from any user device, at any time and from anywhere. For access via an SSL VPN, HOB RD VPN is the first choice: Browser-based, no installation on the client device, best usability and the highest degree of security and flexibility. If a smartphone is the device being used, HOBLink Mobile provides secure access to e-mails, contacts, calendar entries and notes. With HOBLink Mobile, no data are downloaded to the smartphone, nor are any stored there. This way, when all is said and done the smartphone is lost or stolen, the data remains safely in an organization's private cloud. If the organization uses IPsec solutions, HOB supports this with the HOBLink VPN Anywhere Client: it is compatible with the VPN gateways of leading manufacturers and needs no installation on the client.
