    CIS 560 Case Study 2: Cisco’s Remote Access

    Cisco’s Remote Access

    Go to Cisco’s Website and read, “How Cisco IT Provides Remote Access for Small Offices and Teleworkers”, located at http://bit.ly/MkvlbA. According to the study, an IDC forecast from December 2007, expected the global mobile worker population to increase from 758.6 million in 2006 to more than 1.0 billion in 2011. Cisco had a significant number of telecommuting employees and faced three challenges: provide network access features that cannot be supported on a software VPN client, automate and simplify router provisioning and updates, and enable a scalable VPN solution to support up to 30,000 workers.

    Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

    Evaluate the deployment cost savings realized by Cisco, and determine if it was significant.
    Analyze how the solution deployed by Cisco improved:employee productivity
    satisfaction
    retention
    Discuss how Cisco was able to achieve VPN scalability to support thousands of users.
    When thousands of employees telecommute and work in virtual offices, there are benefits to the environment. Discuss the environmental impact of the Cisco telecommuting and virtual offices solution.
