Key benefits
- Managed service - The central management of remote VPNs and automatic download of configuration updates to VPN end points such as branch offices or mobile users saves management and administration time.
- Information sharing - Secure VPN enables remote online workers, remote offices, and trusted business partners to access private local area network resources from anywhere on the Internet using a secure encrypted tunnel.
- Cost savings - VPNs enable organisations to utilize cost-effective high-speed ADSL Internet services to connect remote offices and remote users to the main business site, thus eliminating expensive dedicated WAN links and modem banks.
- Security - VPNs provide the highest level of security using advanced encryption and authentication protocols that protect data from unauthorized access.
- Remote access - VPNs provide a cost-effective alternative to standard dial-in remote access to a company network. Users can connect to the network via the Internet, eliminating expensive long-distance or lo-call dial-in costs. An employee on the road can gain full network access simply by tapping into an Internet connection. Overseas offices can connect directly to the corporate database over local lines instead of a more expensive leased line.
VPN gateways are a growing requirement for most businesses. A GOWORK router-based VPN gateway service, costs less and is easier to use than a server-based VPN, which makes it ideal for remote workers, remote branch connectivity, and partners to access internal systems. GOWORK supports standards-based (PPTP and IPSec) VPNs for interoperability with other VPN components. Our service range supports multiple, simultaneous VPNs, making it possible to set up and maintain separate VPNs for remote online workers and business partners.
Businesses that want to fully leverage the power and flexibility of the Internet for secure remote access and branch office communication require Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions. Firewalls secure the local area network (LAN), but do not secure data transmission from the LAN to the Internet. Alternatives such as point-to-point connections and private leased lines offer the security of end-to-end dedicated connectivity, but are cost-prohibitive for small and medium size businesses. The only solution that provides the security and reliability of end-to-end dedicated connectivity, without its high cost, is VPN over the Internet. VPN prevents confidential data from being accessed and tampered with when packets travel along the public Internet to their destinations.
