Direct access
DirectAccess allows remote access to a corporate network without requiring a VPN. It provides seamless access to internal resources as if users were inside the office. VPN Reconnect maintains a persistent VPN connection to allow continuous access when networks disconnect briefly. BranchCache caches content from file and web servers to improve performance for branch office users accessing content over WAN links. These Windows 7 technologies help users work remotely more productively while reducing IT costs and improving manageability.
