Re: Remote Access Solutions

[Jennifer Mehl <jennifer.mehl () UCSB EDU>]

+1 for Pulse Secure SSL-VPN.

The current Pulse Secure code has HTML5/RDP native support for Windows machines (using Guacamole) and it works well.  
It also has native support for HTML5/SSH.

We have not tried connecting to Macs yet, but I’ve read that there may also be a way to do it from Pulse Secure using a 
VNC Java Applet.
