Abstract

Systems and methods for remote network access are provided. The described methods may be implemented in a computer-readable-medium and executed on a processing device. Software modules resident on one or more networks servers and one or more client computing devices cooperate to provide the client computing device(s) with remote network access.

Claims

1. A system for providing remote access to at least one target computing network, comprising:

at least access server resident in the target computing network;

a point-of-presence node communicatively connected to the at least one target computing network; and

at least one computing device connected to the point of presence node.

2. A system for providing remote access to at least one target computing network, comprising:

at least one front-end access server resident in the target computing network; and

at least one computing device connected to the point of presence node.

3. A method for providing remote access to at least one target network, comprising:

at a remote computing device;

generating, at a remote computing device, a network access request;

transmitting the network access request to an access server resident in the target network; and

at the access server;

receiving the network access request;

processing the network access request; and

establishing a network connection with the remote computing device.
