Edgenet, Part IV Outsourcing remote access In another RAS installation, the remote access servers are located at a third-party site. BankBoston has outsourced its remote access requirements to Westinghouse Communications, in Pittsburgh. Mobile employees of the Boston-based bank gain access to their corporate network using Attachmate Corp. RLN Access Servers and Remote LAN Node software. "All of the servers are housed in Pittsburgh," said Julie Reed, staff development manager for the bank's technical service center. "In a cost analysis, the pricing was pretty much the same [as having the equipment in-house], but we did not need to allocate the resources on this end." Westinghouse Communications provides similar remote access services to other customers, allowing them to share modems while guaranteeing security through dedicated RASes. For this application, the product's reliability is paramount. "We've been using Attachmate for a couple of years," said Bob Drombosky, a senior engineer with Westinghouse. "Once we set it up, it runs by itself." Contributing Editor Kristina B. Sullivan can be reached at kristina_sullivan@zd.com. Shiva's LANRover access server. RAScom's RAServer 2500.
