Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, May 1, 2007 – WorldExtend, the remote access and network security specialist, today announced that its SecureIDA free managed VPN and remote access service has been selected by Magellan Hill Technologies, a telecommunications services provider, to provide its staff with flexible and secure remote network access for a fraction of the cost of a traditional VPN.

Downloadable in minutes from www.SecureIDA.com, and configured via an extremely-simple and intuitive wizard-driven process, SecureIDA enables any organization to set up secure access to data and applications from any location within minutes – providing the same business agility and related productivity gains previously available only to large enterprises.  SecureIDA is the only service that includes free VPN and free remote desktop access as part of a complete end-to-end remote access solution.

SecureIDA’s intuitive software-based platform makes it simple for an organization’s employees, branch offices, suppliers, or even customers to gain simple, secure, and unlimited free remote access to shared data, such as network file folders or client server applications.  SecureIDA also provides free secure access to one Microsoft Windows XP Pro or Linux desktop computer for an unlimited time.  The free service can be utilized to enhance the security of client/server applications, such as e-mail or billing, while the fee-based SecureIDA Application Portal provides a more secure and less-costly alternative to Citrix Systems’ application publishing solution.

“Although today’s SMBs recognize the productivity benefits associated with secure remote access, they often lack the technical expertise, infrastructure, or budget to implement such a solution,” said Bruce LeBuhn, Director Marketing & Sales, WorldExtend, LLC.  “SecureIDA was developed to make it possible for any-sized organization to afford secure remote access, and WorldExtend is always pleased when a service provider with Magellan Hill Technologies’ reputation recognizes that SecureIDA provides a simpler and more cost-effective alternative to a traditional VPN.”

WorldExtend’s vision for SecureIDA includes making it simple for customers to add additional fee-based, value-added services and enhancements that are customized to their business needs.  WorldExtend’s initial fee-based services include full maintenance and technical support (including a number of advanced features and functionality), application publishing through their Application Portal, and on-net Zero-Port technology that provides enhanced security and ease of use.
