DirectAccess provides always–on, seamless and transparent remote access any time a client is connected to the Internet. With DirectAccess, users can access data and applications remotely as if they were in the office. Network communication is protected using IPsec encryption and authenticated using Kerberos, NTLM, and certificates. DirectAccess connectivity is bi–directional, enabling compelling manage–out capabilities not available with tradition VPN solutions.
