> VPN
A VPN (Virtual private network) is a private network that uses a public
network (usually the Internet)
to connect remote sites or users together.
Instead of using a dedicated, real-world connection such as a leased line,
a VPN uses "virtual" connections routed through the Internet from
the company's private network to the remote site or employee. VPNs are commonly
used by businesses that have remote locations in several cities, and would
like to ensure that information passed from office to office over the public
internet links cannot be intercepted and viewed by third parties. The VPN
provider builds a "tunnel" through the internet for your private
data traffic. Hence it ‘s as if the company is operating a secure intranet
Benefits of VPN Include:
-
Cost
Savings - VPNs enable organizations to utilize cost-effective third-party
Internet transport to connect remote offices and remote users to the
main corporate site, thus eliminating expensive dedicated WAN links
and modem banks. Furthermore, the advent of cost-effective, high-bandwidth
technologies like DSL organizations can use VPNs to reduce their connectivity
costs while simultaneously increasing remote connection bandwidth
-
Security
- VPNs provide the highest level of security using advanced encryption
and authentication protocols that protect data from unauthorized
access.
-
Scalability
- VPNs enable companies to utilize easy to provision low cost broadband
within ISPs and devices that allow for the easy addition of new users.
Therefore, companies are able to add large amounts of capacity without
adding significant infrastructure
-
Compatibility
with Broadband Technology - VPNs allow mobile workers, telecommuters
and day extenders to take advantage of high-speed, broadband connectivity,
such as DSL and Cable, when gaining access to their corporate networks,
providing workers significant flexibility and efficiency.
High-speed broadband connections also provide a cost-effective
solution for connecting remote offices.
