The DayXtender™ allows home, remote and part-time users to access the corporate
network without compromising security. Client deployment and complications are solved
with the unique AccessStick VirtuaWrapper™ technology which does not require local
component installations.
DayXtender™ also reduces costs of supporting deployment and purchase of corporate
devices to allow corporate network access
The DayXtender™ works with all versions of Windows from Windows 2000 and above and
requires a free USB port.
The AccessStick DayXtender™ fixes four main problems that are commonly encountered
when deploying remote access solutions:
1. Client deployment. The DayXtender™ removes the need to install
components on the local machine. This reduces support costs and allows easy secure
connection to the remote network without changing the local machine.
2. Cache clean-up. VirtuaWrapper™ redirection ensures that any
process trying to write to the local file system or registry is redirected to the
AccessStick™ secure drive. This means that no footprint or data is left on the machine
to clean up and the data is securely held on the AccessStick™
3. Strong authentication. The AccessStick™ will only launch once
the user has successfully authenticated biometrically to the AccessStick™. Each
AccessStick™ has a unique ID that can be identified by the Citrix Access Gateway
enabling the administrator to disable compromised sticks. This means that security
is enhanced and user confidence is increased.
4. Data mobility. The AccessStick™ has around 900mb of secure storage
that can be used for additional data. This means that the user can have a flexible
and large store of work data without compromising the corporate security.
Main Areas of Functionality:
Authentication: The biometric sensor and specific firmware protect
the stick from unauthorized access
Storage: The USB mass storage device contains both CD-ROM and regular
storage on the device
VirtuaWrapper™: In development since 2005, and launched in October
2007, VirtuaWrapper™ is Accario-written virtualization software that makes connectivity
to a corporate SSL VPN easier for the user and secure for the organisation, as it:
- Works on both locked down foreign corporate devices or a user’s personal PC with
no software to install
- Includes all necessary client-server components so they do not need to be downloaded
and installed on the local device
- Leaves no footprint on the end point, as file and registry writes are written to
the cache on the AccessStick™ and not left behind on the device
