**Existing VPN solutions are relatively difficult to administer and difficult to scale. Limitations imposed by older encryption methods leads to poor user experience and limit the number of users each device can support. Traditional full-tunnel VPN architectures also impose high bandwidth requirements on hub sites that many SME struggle to meet.**Our solution will provide an SME friendly, simple to use, easy to deploy, scalable and secure remote access solution to allow access to both local and cloud-based resources without the capacity & bandwidth limitations of traditional VPN systems. With a focus on performance and ease of management, this solution is intended to address many of the challenges currently faced when deploying remote access solutions at speed & scale.Business IT teams have a major challenge in providing a secure connection to company systems against the backdrop of the enormous growth of home working. This system will provide a solution that companies can self manage using existing systems more efficiently and securely.This is a significant advance on existing solutions because it brings remote working technology previously too costly and complex within the reach of the SME sector.The CloudCoverIT team has developed hundreds of specific solutions of this type over nearly a decade in business. And our experienced in house team have scoped the technical elements of this project in 2019\. The current COVID-19 situation has brought the project to the forefront and the team have a project plan ready to develop including technical and commercial development in an 8-week window.The market need for this is significant as all businesses follow government advice to enables all worked who can to work from home.Every business that has staff connecting to systems can do so more securely that without VPN and faster and more reliably than with a stretched VPN operating near or beyond its limit of connections.This system enables companies to make secure connections without large numbers of terminations and high bandwidth by employing modern encryption and compression technology to improve the overall efficiency of the system.Further development focuses on the commercialisation of the new VPN solution and allows us to develop and deliver a coherent sales and marketing plan both for the UK and International markets.This will be delivered through two key elements:The allocation of specific marketing resource through a specialist partner marketing agencyThe appointment of a new senior commercial manager with specific UK and international experience in this sector - (The individual concerned provided support for the original phase of the project as a consultant and has an excellent insight into the work required.)

**现有的VPN解决方案相对难以管理和难以扩展。旧的加密方法所施加的限制会导致糟糕的用户体验，并限制每个设备可以支持的用户数量。传统的全隧道VPN架构还对集线器站点施加了高带宽要求，这是许多中小企业难以满足的。**我们的解决方案将提供一个中小企业友好，易于使用，易于部署，可扩展和安全的远程访问解决方案，允许访问本地和基于云的资源，而不受传统VPN系统的容量和带宽限制。该解决方案专注于性能和易于管理，旨在解决当前在快速和大规模部署远程访问解决方案时面临的许多挑战。业务IT团队面临的主要挑战是在家庭工作大量增长的背景下提供与公司系统的安全连接。该系统将提供一种解决方案，使公司可以更有效和安全地使用现有系统进行自我管理。这是现有解决方案的重大进步，因为它将以前过于昂贵和复杂的远程工作技术带入了中小企业部门。CloudCoverIT团队在近十年的业务中开发了数百种这种类型的特定解决方案。我们经验丰富的内部团队已经在2019年确定了该项目的技术要素。当前的COVID-19形势使该项目处于最前沿，团队已经准备好了一个项目计划，包括在8周的时间内进行技术和商业开发。由于所有企业都遵循政府的建议，使所有能够在家工作的人都能在家工作，因此市场对这一点的需求非常重要。每个有员工连接到系统的企业都可以比没有VPN的情况下更安全，比使用接近或超出其连接限制的扩展VPN更快、更可靠。该系统采用现代加密和压缩技术，提高了系统的整体效率，使公司能够在没有大量终端和高带宽的情况下进行安全连接。进一步的开发重点是新的VPN解决方案的商业化，使我们能够为英国和国际市场开发和提供连贯的销售和营销计划。这将通过两个关键要素来实现：通过专业合作伙伴营销机构分配特定的营销资源；任命一位在该领域具有特定英国和国际经验的新高级商业经理（有关个人作为顾问为项目的初始阶段提供支持，并对所需的工作有极好的洞察力）。
