Rolling Meadows, IL — ABS Associates signed an agreement with Fiberlink to sell its leading remote access platform, Dynamic Network Architecture™ (DNA) and Extend360™, its intelligent access manager, to help companies mobilize and securely connect remote workers from any device, in any location. With indications of strong market demand for Fiberlink's award-winning policy-driven solution, ABS along with other selected channel partners are delivering Fiberlink's advanced services to Fortune 500 companies and other large enterprises globally. "As an IT solution provider, we strive to increase efficiency and reduce risk among our remote help desk and network clients," said Jay Schiele, ABS Associates' president and Chief Operating Officer. "We reviewed several remote access options on the market and found Fiberlink's service solution exhibited the kind of comprehensive security - the ability to proactively identify and eliminate vulnerabilities - that our customers demand. We're pleased to partner with Fiberlink and add such leading-edge, policy-based security and productivity enhancements to our offerings." Network-borne threats have fueled enterprise demand beyond simple remote access tools to a more comprehensive, yet flexible connectivity platform that enables IT departments to address the complex demands of supporting mobile and remote workers. While other service providers tout dial locations and hotspot tallies, Fiberlink's intelligent access manager allows IT managers to define and strictly enforce security policies across far-flung remote networks - an oft-ignored segment of the corporate network. ABS offers customers Fiberlink's remote access architecture, which integrates layered security measures with broadband, dial, Wi-Fi, wide area wireless and other modes of access.
