Business growth today requires reliabe and secure data communications not just between headquarters and a few branch offices, but to all sales offices, retail stores, manufacturing plants, remote employees, and an increasing array of vendors, agents and other business partners. Large companies have long enjoyed the productivity gains from such communication technologies. With Virtual Private Networks all companies can now tie together their operations to maximize their productivity and competetive advantage. And the cost is so low that even companies with only two or three locations and thin margins can benefit. What is a VPN? An Internet Virtual Private Network (VPN) simulates a secure, private data network using the public Internet. In this way you get the benefits of a high-performance, secure private network while gaining the flexibility, scalability, redundancy, and lower costs of the public Internet. Compared to the high costs of a private network (private lines, frame relay), and VPN allows you to reduce costs, without sacrificing quality or security. To create a "private" network over the shared facilities of the Internet, VPNs use tunneling protocols (such as IPSec) that create "tunnels" or "pipes" between sites via the Internet. Private data is transported through these tunnels and can be encrypted for added security. Tunnels can be initiated from a client PC or a VPN device at the customer premise. Other key technologies that enable VPNs include encryption (such as DES and 3DES) and authentication.
