Virtual Private Network (VPN)  

Benefits of VPN

In addition to reducing communications costs, a VPN solution also provides the following benefits:

• Extends Geographic Connectivity – A VPN connects remote workers to central resources, making it easier than ever to set up widely distributed global operations. 

• Boosts Employee Productivity – A VPN solution enables telecommuters to boost their productivity by 22% - 45% (Gallup Organization and Opinion Research) by eliminating time-consuming commutes and by creating uninterrupted time for focused work. 

• Improves Internet Security – An always-on broadband connection to the Internet makes a network vulnerable to hacker attacks. Many VPN solutions include additional security measures, such as firewall and anti-virus checks to counteract the different types of network security threats. 

• Scales Easily – A VPN allows companies to utilize the remote access infrastructure within ISPs.  Therefore, companies are able to add a virtually unlimited amount of capacity without adding significant infrastructure.
 
• Simplifies Network Topology – Eliminating modem pools and a private network infrastructure simplifies the administration and management of the network.
