Multi-tenant Capable Remote Access Software for Cloud Service Providers from HOB: Efficient, Flexible and Secure

Cloud Service Providers have a very challenging task: on the one hand, they have to reliably provide their cloud services and guarantee data security as well as availability at all times; on the other hand they have to flexibly react to market changes and be profitable. Many IT-providers only offer unyielding conditions with stand-by fees for cloud service providers, while cloud service providers could be taking advantage of HOB RD VPN from HOB Inc. a secure, universal and also cost-effective remote access solution with flexible service provider license agreements (SPLAs).

New HOB RD VPN: Purely Software-based, Multi-tenant Capable and Very Scalable

HOB RD VPN, the new remote access suite meets the highest requirements regarding security, flexibility and efficiency. A huge advantage for cloud service providers: HOB RD VPN is completely software-based and can be used with any server. In addition, the solution is highly scalable. All operating systems are supported on the client-side, and there is no need for an installation or administration rights. New users can be quickly and easily integrated into the network.

Regarding the matter of security, HOB RD VPN has a lot to offer: it is multi-tenant capable, which allows for confident separation of the respective customer data. A secure SSL-encryption ensures a high level of security during data transmission. HOB RD VPN even supports various authentication methods as well as Kerberos Single-Sign-On, thereby optimally securing customer data at all times.

HOB RD VPN also has won several awards in the area of IT security, further proving the quality of the solution.

Cost-effective with Flexible and Individual SPLAs

HOB RD VPN is very cost-effective for cloud service providers without decreasing performance and security. Since HOB RD VPN is purely software-based, it is completely hardware independent, meaning it can be used with any server from any manufacturer. As compared to other IT providers offering such solutions often in a hardware/software combination, the cloud service provider has considerably more freedom in this case. In addition, HOB Inc. does not require any so-called stand-by fees: only the licensing costs per user are paid on basis of the actual users at a month´s end - without any hidden costs. This offers great advantages regarding liquidity, as well.

Additional Functions for Even More Flexibility

HOB RD VPN already includes several innovative functions. HOBPhone for example, is a purely web-based SIP-client for VoIP or VNC-Bridge (for remote access to VNC-based targets). HOB's integrated Load Balancing and Clustering allows for optimal load distribution between the available HOB RD VPN servers to be achieved.

Furthermore, many additional functions are optionally available: HOB MacGate makes access to Macs possible - independent of whether access is done via a Windows PC, Unix/Linux, or another Mac. With HOB X11Gate, Unix/Linux targets can also be remotely accessed. Hence, a completely individual solution can be designed to fit the exact needs of a particular customer.
