Managed IPSec & SSL VPN Services
Challenge
The Internet has forever changed the way that we do business. An outgrowth of Internet technology and thinking, Virtual Private Networks are transforming the daily method of doing business faster than any other technology. A Virtual Private Network, or VPN, typically uses the Internet as the transport backbone to establish secure links with business partners, extend communications to regional and isolated offices, and significantly decrease the cost of communications for an increasingly mobile workforce. VPNs serve as private network overlays on public IP network infrastructures such as the Internet.
The effects a VPN can have on an organisation are dramatic: sales can be increased, product development can be accelerated, and strategic partnerships can be strengthened in a way never before possible. Prior to the advent of VPNs, the only other options for creating this type of communication were expensive leased lines or frame relay circuits. Internet access is generally local and much less expensive than dedicated Remote Access Server connections.
In fact, according to industry analyst Forrester Research Inc., when comparing the traditional cost of Remote Access Server (RAS) versus today's Internet-based VPN, the cost differences for 1,000 users are significant.
Whether you're a remote user, a branch office, or a partner, the need to access corporate network resources quickly, securely and cost-effectively are paramount to your productivity. The use of virtual private networks (VPNs) are becoming a standard secure link between a company and its resource users. VPNs offer a cost-effective way to give all members of your business access to pertinent online resources. But implementing and maintaining a VPN often become complex and time-intensive.
