Who should use Hamachi?

Here are some examples of how you can take advantage of Hamachi. IT Support: Creating a Mobile Office LAN

Many mobile workers use their portable mobile devices in the office while connected to their company’s shared resources (file servers, network printers, mail servers, etc.). But if a user moves away from the local network, they will no longer be able to access these resources. Software that is set up to work  inside  the office becomes useless  outside  the office.

With Hamachi, mobile workers become members of a Hamachi network in which all shares are also members of the network. As a result, network settings may remain unchanged. Hamachi sets up the exact same network environment for the mobile user no matter where they are.

Tip:  Hub-and-spoke  and  gateway  are the best network modes for this scenario. IT Support: Configuring Network Access for Home Workers

Home workers can be more productive when they have secure access to shared IT resources. With the Hamachi client, home workers get a secure tunnel directly to their company network. They can work from home and still access the resources they need.

Tip:  Hub-and-spoke  and  gateway  are the best network modes for this scenario. Outsourced IT: Managing Multiple Networks

A service provider with multiple administrators on their team wants to set up and maintain multiple Hamachi networks for multiple customers. You use  Central  to create Hamachi networks, deploy Hamachi clients, and apply default and custom settings for each client. You can also manage other administrators in your organization, generate client activity reports, and manage network activity. Small and Medium Organizations: Virtual LAN

Organizations without a physical LAN can use the mesh network type to set up a virtual corporate LAN.
