Virtual Private Networks (VPN) enable
a business to use the Internet as its own dedicated network.
It allows employees, satellite offices, and select customers,
to share information and perform routine administration tasks,
confidentially and securely from any location.
Why use it?
The predominate value of the VPN solution to businesses lies
in replacing expensive dedicated private network facilities
with the more economical and extensive Internet backbone.
Typically businesses have relied on special leased lines to
connect remote offices together. Despite the fact that they
offer a degree of privacy, leased lines are often expensive
to set-up and maintain. For many companies, this method proves
to be impractical for their needs.
The VPN solution provides shared low-cost public bandwidth
into a private channel for data communication.
Businesses can save vast amounts of money by avoiding costly
networking equipment or expensive dedicated leased services.
