Explanation

The contractors need broad, secure remote access covering web apps, database manipulation, and direct Linux/Windows server login. VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) provides a hosted virtual desktop within the corporate environment, giving access to internal websites and applications while keeping all data on-premises - nothing is stored on the contractor's local machine, reducing data leakage risk. VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates an encrypted tunnel over the internet, giving contractors network-level access to the corporate environment so they can securely log into Linux and Windows servers via SSH or RDP. Together, VDI and VPN cover all the access requirements securely. VTC is video conferencing; VRRP is a router redundancy protocol; VLAN is network segmentation, not remote access; Telnet is unencrypted and insecure.
