VPN (virtual private network) accommodates the needs of remote employees and distant
offices.
What is a VPN
Basically, a VPN is a private network that uses a public network (usually the
Internet) to connect remote sites or users together. Instead of using a dedicated
line, a VPN uses "virtual" connections routed through the Internet
from the company's private network to the remote site or employee.
A well-designed VPN can greatly benefit a company. For example, it can:
Extend geographic connectivity
Improve security
Reduce operational costs versus traditional WAN
Reduce transit time and transportation costs for remote users
Improve productivity
Simplify network topology
Provide global networking opportunities
Provide telecommuter support
Provide broadband networking compatibility
Provide faster ROI (return on investment) than traditional WAN
What features are needed in a well-designed VPN? It should incorporate:
Security
Reliability
Scalability
Network management
Policy management
