• DirectAccess
  Allows remote users to seamlessly access resources inside a corporate network without having to launch a separate VPN and helps IT administrators keep remote users' PCs in compliance by applying the latest policies, software updates. When used with Windows Server 2012, Windows 8 makes DirectAccess easier to deploy and implement with the existing IPv4 infrastructure.
