Virtual Private Network (VPN)

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a method of using the Internet to provide remote offices or individual, remote users with secure access to your network. A VPN can be contrasted with an expensive system of owned or leased telephone lines that can only be used by one organisation. The goal of a VPN is to provide the same capabilities, but at a much lower cost.

By implementing a VPN you will find it much easier to enable home and mobile working for your employees, as well as keeping branch offices in touch. This way you can locate your staff in the most productive environment to increase your profitability and raise their job satisfaction. They will still be able to quickly and securely access all their applications and data as if they were present in the office.

From the users point of view a VPN operates transparently providing a secure interface between their desktop and the remote resources that are made available from the central office.
