Recently, most of us have been broadsided by the effects of COVID-19. For most, it has made remote work enablement the top priority. Remote worker enablement can bring a whole host of challenges, especially for first‑timers or businesses that must consider compliance issues.
xByte offers the complete Dell Technologies portfolio as well as many complementary solutions from vendors like Fortinet, Cisco, Cisco Meraki, Epson, Lexmark, Eaton, Logi, Poly, Red Hat, and Microsoft, to name a few. We also offer cloud services, on‑site professional services, third‑party support, Colocation space in data centers, hosted VoIP/UCaaS, and telecom/ISP circuits, to name a few.
Here are just a few of our favorite products and solutions for remote workers!

Office 365/G Suite Backup
Contrary to popular belief, your Office 365 files and email are not being backed up by Microsoft. Your data is likely in one point of presence. Although protected, it is not 100% disaster‑proof, and you don't have a copy of it unless you are using a backup application that specifically integrates to back up this data. Veeam has an amazing solution for this problem!
Teleworker Security
With employees working remotely, issues like BYOD and security are at the forefront.
- VMware Workspace ONE: It gives workers zero‑trust secure access to their work desktop and applications from any device using RSA security!

These platforms differ from traditional VoIP or PBX in that everything is cloud‑managed.
