Product lifecycle management system (PLM) has been widely used in many industries such as new energy vehicles, industrial machinery, electronic equipment, medical devices and aerospace. It can efficiently support the collaborative process from concept and requirements management, design and development collaboration to quality and compliance management, process and manufacturing planning, engineering change management and other key links.

Because PLM system carries extremely core and sensitive product development data, many enterprises prefer to choose local deployment and store all data on their own internal servers to ensure data security and controllability. Currently, mainstream PLM products on the market, such as DingJie PLM, UFIDA PLM, Tianyu IntePLM, Pairui Tundra PLM, etc., all support local deployment solutions.

Today, however, many companies have offices around the world and need to share the necessary design data with hundreds of suppliers and partners. In addition, engineers, designers and managers need to access the PLM system anytime and anywhere when they are away or on business.

Therefore, how to ensure the security of local data on the basis of the local PLM system to achieve global security, efficient and convenient remote access and collaboration, has become the core issue that enterprises need to solve.

#Aweshell intranet penetration makes PLM remote access safe, simple and fast

To this end,Aweshell relies on self-developed intranet penetration and dynamic domain name resolution (DDNS) technology to provide enterprises with a set of safe, convenient and cost-effective product lifecycle management system (PLM) remote access solutions.

Enterprises adopt theAweshell scheme, without public network IP, cloud server/VPS, and complex forwarding rules configured on routers or gateways. They only need to quickly install Aweshell clients and complete mapping configuration in the cloud management interface to realize secure remote access to the local PLM system.

At the network level, theAweshell uses BGP data center clusters that support redundant backup to achieve high-speed transmission across operators and regions. At the same time, the Aweshell has been in stable operation for more than 19 years and has a mature multi-line redundancy mechanism, which can effectively avoid single point of failure and network interruption, and ensure that PLM remote access is always unimpeded.

#Aweshell one-stop solution to PLM remote access security and rights management problems

Unlike most remote access solutions,Aweshell not only has excellent remote access capabilities, but also integrates a complete security protection system, which can meet the high standards of information security and access rights management in PLM systems.

The Aweshell supports fine-grained access control and can be flexibly configured according to time, region, IP address, browser version, operating system version, and other dimensions. For example, you can whitelist the IP or region of a branch office, open access to PLM only during working hours, and restrict access to lower-version systems or browsers to further improve security.

In addition, for PLM systems based on web access, additional password authentication is Aweshell supported, and access can only be accessed by entering the correct password, further preventing unauthorized or malicious access.

Similarly, for the risk of malicious access to the PLM system, the Aweshell also has a blasting protection function to monitor all mapping traffic in real time and automatically intercept abnormal behaviors such as high-frequency access. Of course, if there is a high-frequency access demand for enterprise business, you can also set up a release list to avoid misjudgment.

It is worth mentioning that the built-in threat detection function of the Aweshell client can quickly identify all kinds of known network threats (such as viruses, spyware, hacker tools, etc.), and can automatically close the relevant mapping and report to the management platform to further improve the level of security protection.

Finally, the Aweshell has multi-dimensional status monitoring and multi-channel alarm notification capabilities. For example, when the daily/monthly traffic limit is reached, theAweshell client goes offline, or the designated application access is abnormal, the system will push the notification through Aweshell APP or third-party IM (enterprise micro, flying book, DingTalk, etc.) to help the administrator grasp the system operation status in time and respond to potential risks efficiently.

In general,Aweshell has built a PLM remote access solution that takes into account security, ease of use and high availability for enterprises with its self-developed intranet penetration and DDNS technology. Enterprises can achieve global secure access and efficient collaboration of local PLM systems without changing the original network architecture. At the same time, relying on multiple security protection mechanisms, the Aweshell provides a solid guarantee for the information security and continuous and stable operation of the PLM system, helping enterprises accelerate digital transformation and business innovation.
