IT Network Security
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) can transform your IT infrastructure and your business. Many companies turn to technology to help boost their bottom line and to increase productivity. Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are a case in point, particularly when it comes to efficiently connecting a myriad of disparate applications and systems – many now virtualised – across multiple locations.
What is a VPN?
VPNs provide a clear path to advanced applications that create a distinct competitive advantage. They deliver flexibility and scalability, and enable accelerated decision making, decrease recurring costs, increase productivity and simplify business management by permitting the secure connecting together of remote customer sites at very short notice.
VPNs also allow users to bypass regional internet restrictions such as firewalls and web filtering by "tunneling" the network connection to a different region.
Technically, VPNs encapsulate network data transfers using a secure cryptographic method between two or more networked devices which are not on the same private network, to keep the data private as it passes through the connecting nodes of a local or wide area network. In short, your sites connect to each other securely through an untrusted public network such as the Internet.
How to VPN?
Mason Infotech can supply and support managed VPN solutions (multiple managed private connections between your sites, creating seamless 'cloud' of connectivity over a public infrastructure) and independent VPN solutions, based on firewall appliances maintained at customer premises at each end of the VPN tunnel. Full IP connectivity with routing etc is available over both methods.
