Virtual Private Networks

Virtual private networks are a means of connecting remote locations, branch offices, field workers, telecommuters, vendors, customers, and supplies into one secure network. In short anyone who needs access to your network resources an connect to the company network quickly, easily and inexpensively in a way that ensures the security of the data while in transit, the identity of the user, and the authenticity of the data received. All of this while saving as much as 80% of the cost of traditional remote access.

How does a virtual Private Network do all this?

To do this a virtual private network uses the public Internet instead of expensive leased lines or modem pools with dial-up access to connect users anywhere in the world. By encrypting the data in transit we insure that your information remains private. By authenticating the user we ensure that only those authorized have access to the information. The virtual private network creates what is, in effect, a tunnel through the public Internet from your users to the company's network resources.

This tunnel is invisible to outsiders and all data passing through it is encrypted.

Simplify and consolidate the administration of remote access users.

-Authenticate your remote users against your existing NT, Unix, or NetWare security database.
