More and more people are managing machines and plants remotely<\/a> due to time and the costs involved of being on site every time there is a potential problem. This is particularly crucial during the commissioning phase of a new installation where time is money!<\/p>\n

I discuss this subject on a regular basis with customers who want a simple and easy to manage way of implementing remote access<\/a>. They have enough to think about without adding to the workload or cost of a project. Remote access is not a new thing, but up to now it has been either limited in functionality or complex to configure.<\/p>\n

mGuard Secure Cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"mguard<\/p>\n

The Mguard<\/a> Secure Cloud is the latest offering within the Phoenix Contact remote access range.The cost savings are clear for everyone – No travel, reduced labour, reduced downtime, worldwide coverage.<\/p>\n

Q: But this must be complicated and expensive \u2026..?\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

A: No! The MGuard Secure Cloud is simple and free!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The MGuard Cloud removes the mystery and complexity of managed VPN systems and provides a quick and easy solution for worldwide remote access.\u00a0With the Cloud, your connections are managed for you.<\/p>\n

All you have to do is follow the link: https:\/\/uk.cloud.mguard.com\/index.php<\/a>\u00a0 then just sign up and register your account. Enter your Mguard device details and follow the setup wizard.<\/p>\n

The basic package offers one\u00a0user session at a time, but you can create as many machine connections as you like. Upgrades are available so you can tailor it to your requirements.<\/p>\n

This is how it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n
