Superior Security: VPN & Print
Spooler Alternatives

 In most organizations, remote users
(such as satellite offices, affiliate
organizations, business partners,
home offices, etc.) commonly use
VPN as a means to access host
systems.
 VPN access means these users
become "virtual members" of the host
system – which can create security
vulnerabilities.
VPN and Satellite Offices

There are several disadvantages to VPN that are compounded by security
issues:
 VPN connections consume IT support resources
 Administrating and infrastructure of VPN services can be relatively
expensive.
 The head organization may not have control over satellite office /
end user systems – creating additional vulnerabilities.
Security Issues with VPN

OM Plus i-Sat
 OM Plus i‐Sat includes a small application for the remote location that
uses cloud enabled, secure web services to "pull" print jobs from the host
application without the vulnerabilities of a VPN connection.
 No VPN connection is required.

How i-Sat Works
 i‐Sat connects to an OM Plus print server at the host location and
requests its jobs.
 These print jobs are then sent securely, encrypted and compressed via
https to the i‐Sat at the remote site.

i-Sat Benefits
 No remote user's system becomes part of the host environment (unlike a
VPN). This effectively protects the host system from VPN-related
vulnerabilities.
 Reduced overhead associated with VPN
 Reduced network bandwidth usage
 Print statistics provided
 Low cost
 Print pulled securely over the internet
 Reduced cost (VPN + Administrative)
 Audit logs provided
 Easy to install & implement
 Supported on Windows, UNIX & Linux

i-Sat is available in multiple versions to suit your needs:
 i-Sat: provides a secure / encrypted remote printing solution that pulls print jobs down
from the host location and then uses the native spooling system’s queues to deliver
them to the printer.
 i-Sat Plus: builds upon the base i-Sat capabilities by replacing the native spooling
system at the remote site with OM Plus Delivery Manager – which provides enhanced
spooling system functionality including document redirect, automated failover, delivery
confirmation to the output tray, proactive alert notifications, and others.
 i-Sat Embedded: runs as an embedded print server application in certified printers. It
can pull down jobs and print them locally or pull down jobs for other standard printers
and forward to them for printing.
 i-Sat Appliance: is a headless appliance. It is “plug and play,” so no local setup is
required. The i-Sat application can utilize the native spooling system or OM Plus
Delivery Manager for delivering jobs to multiple printers.
Available Versions of i-Sat

Who Can Benefit from i-Sat?
 I-Sat streamlines operations and provides significant cost savings for
satellite offices.
 Health care organizations that support clinics and affiliates with the core
EMR applications, such as Epic are prime candidates for the i-Sat
solution.
