FACILIS WANlink DIRECT REMOVE ACCESS OVER VPN
With speeds 2-3x faster than VPN, reduced costs and less complexity many customers are switching their remote and hybrid-remote editing workgroups to WANlink allowing team members to work on the same projects at the same time either at home or in the office.
With increased speeds, multi-layer authentication, encryption and a familiar interface many companies are changing their workflow and reducing their costs, complexity and delays by making the switch.
Learn more about making the switch to Facilis’ WANlink Direct Remote Access.
COMING SOON FASTCache: WORKFLOW ACCELERATION
We are very excited for Facilis’ upcoming release of FASTCache, a new caching feature that uses an unlimited, non-volatile cache on the client workstation to smooth out inconsistent link speeds and lower the load on server infrastructure.
Available to workstations connected to Facilis servers with the most benefit for lower-link speed connections like VPN and WANLink. Data that is read from the shared storage volumes through the normal connection will be written locally to an encrypted data set. This data set is only available to be used when connected to the server and mounting the matching storage volume. This ensures that administrative permissions will be upheld even for cached data.
We’ll keep you posted on when this feature is available but you can learn more about what’s to come with FASTCache here.
