Remote Working

[Pobby]

I am trying to organize that we can get access to our work server remotely. There are about 10 of us linked to the server.

I have been told there are various ways of doing this. The one that has been put to me is OWA with a separate server, however, this appears expensive.

Any recommendations?

There are quite a few options open to you, but primarily driven by your budget, but also exactly what you want to be able to access from home.

I think the best option might be creating a VPN. It still might be expensive, in that you would possibly need a seperate authentication server, and client software for each of your home machines. But it would give you pretty much your office environment in the home.

You could try Citrix, maybe a bit excessive for your needs. Again a citrix server would be needed and a bit of technical know how to build the environment.

I would start investigating creating a VPN - should be a reasonably cheap solution for you.
