Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
New services are changing the way companies think about private networks. Whether they are used for voice or data or both, networks are becoming more affordable and the cost of existing networks is being greatly reduced by rebuilding them as Virtual Private Networks.
The Virtual Difference
Virtual Private Networks are configured over the suppliers' backbone network. Each point on a VPN needs only one connection to the main (public) system. Costs are fixed according to the capacity (or bandwidth) of the connection provided at each site, regardless of the number of calls made. Calls are set up using short addresses but the connections are actually made through the public network.
With this kind of network it is a simple matter to add or remove a site, and short-term arrangements are much easier to set up. This is why companies using teleworkers particularly favour VPNs.
A VPN established over an ADSL link can provide secure and cost effective access to all corporate voice and data services. This allows remote staff to work in a 'real-time' unrestricted manner as if they were actually in the office.
Creating this virtual workplace can deliver highly flexible cost effective solutions to organisations that need to scale their operations rapidly in order to meet client demands.

matter where you are?
