Challenge: Today's average mobile worker moves between a multitude of networks, from a corporate LAN or WiFi, to a home LAN or Wi-Fi, to guest access at customer sites, to airports, Internet cafes and 3G access. The complexity of these access scenarios due to a multitude of technologies, security requirements and cost considerations results in:

• Time wasted:
  • trying to establish a connection or asking for support from IT
  • authenticating VPN access or changing proxy settings within a browser
  • connecting to a network only to realize there is no Internet access
• End-user frustration when access is hard or impossible to establish
• Accidental or unauthorized network switching and peer-to-peer networking
• Disregard for security policies and cost of access when convenience is at stake
• Business disruption when new devices or access services are deployed

Solution: Mobile workers should be able to open a notebook, turn it on and move from one location to another, while transparently connected to the most cost-effective network available.

Trellia delivers on this vision by providing a zero-click, seamless mobile experience to end-users by automating network selection, switching and policy enforcement. This is done in the background without user intervention by:

1. Detecting authorized networks available
2. Selecting the best network based on cost and security policies, performance and usage history
3. Switching traffic to a new connection before ending the existing one
4. Managing the VPN, proxy settings, anti-virus and firewall when required by IT policies

Trellia supports:

• Major SSL and IPsec VPNs
• An unlimited number of proxy settings – one per preferred network
• Anti-virus, firewall and productivity applications

Trellia also enables SMS, FTP and GPO-based silent deployment of access permissions and related IT policies to all or part of the mobile workforce to avoid disruptions when new capabilities are delivered. New network rights appear in the authorized network list and are available without lengthy end-user training or documentation about new policies.
