Citrix, VPN, Remote Desktop and Wireless security |

I'm going to be opening a doctor's office, with a computer system run
off a server in the office. I'd like to be able to access the system
remotely when I'm sitting at home, or even in a coffee shop through
their wireless network.
I have 2 questions:
1) How do I best set up the access itself? I have been advised that
the Windows remote desktop is the most economical approach to be able
to get into my system, but I'm concerned that it might be slow. I've
been advised to try GoToMyPC as well, but this would probably be slower
than I'd like. Currently, I access the computer where I work using VPN
and Citrix (they're both involved, but I don't understand which does
what, or even what they are really). I was told that this would cost
me about $5000 in my new practice, which might be more than I'd want to
spend.
2) Is it possible to have security when sitting in a public place using
an unsecured network? It seems to me that such a thing is possible if
the system encrypts at the server and decrypts at my laptop and vice
versa. That way anybody capturing my transmissions on the unsecured
wireless network would just get encoded data. Does such a thing exist?
Thanks for any help you can provide. --Matt |
