VPN network solution Description
Description |
The ubiquity of the Internet has made it an attractive transport medium for interconnecting multiple IP-based LANs in different locations. For many years now, Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology has enabled many companies to use the Internet as a low-cost solution for their internal private communications. Indeed, huge cost savings are achieved by subscribing only to local ISP connections compared to leasing expensive dedicated circuits that span across regional or national boundaries. Implementing VPNs however, is not a simple task, and IT managers often face difficulties balancing cost against benefit as well as efficiency against security. Furthermore, the hodge-podge of different products, technologies, and standards make it difficult to combine all these components and yet be confident that the solution will work as intended. In spite of these challenges, VPN deployment is still growing at a phenomenal pace. A recent IDC survey of WAN Managers concluded that over 50% of the respondents reported that they were evaluating IP VPNs as an alternative WAN. According to the latest report from Infonetics Research Inc., dedicated VPN hardware revenue totaled $835 million in 2000. Frost & Sullivan estimates that revenues from VPN products and services will reach $18.7 billion by 2004. With Managed VPN services, enterprises can rid themselves of complex network management operations and other issues such as equipment obsolescence and vendor interoperability. By becoming Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), you can take advantage of this opportunity with service offerings that subscribers will need for years to come. |
