What makes VMobility Remote Access unique?

VMobility Remote Access eliminates the hassles typically associated with setting up and managing a VPN or hardware remote access solution. It requires no VPN equipment, or IT experience, enabling non-technical people to setup and manage with ease.

The key is how VMobility Remote Access recognizes computers in the VMobility network. It identifies computers using simple, easy-to-remember virtual domain names that you create (i.e. mikesmith.sales.abccompany), and not IP addresses. This could be the name of a department, group or company. Because these virtual names hide actual IP addresses, there is no need to worry about the dynamic IP addresses used by DSL and other Internet connectivity services. Users in your network can instantly access, communicate, and collaborate with each other, anytime, anywhere, even if their IP address changes.
