VPN services can dramatically reduce the costs and complexity of providing
connectivity to remote offices and remote users. VPN services are typically
tied into your firewall, and utilize an encrypted tunnel through the Internet
to provide secure connectivity to network resources. Our consultants can
assist you in developing and integrating VPN solutions into your network
systems.
A virtual private network (VPN) is a private data network that makes use of
the public telecommunication infrastructure, maintaining privacy through the
use of a tunneling protocol and security procedures. The idea of the VPN is
to give the company the same capabilities at much lower cost by using the shared
public infrastructure rather than a private one. Phone companies have provided
secure shared resources for voice messages. A virtual private network makes
it possible to have the same secure sharing of public resources for data. Companies
today are looking at using a private virtual network for both extranets and
wide-area intranets.
With a VPN, a company can exchange data with virtually anyone in the world
for nearly half the cost of using dedicated and/or frame relay circuits. As
an added benefit, the same VPN technology can securely connect networks to
remote access users, utilizing dialup links or broadband services such as xDSL
and cable modems.
This is where Jax ITS con save you $$. We at Jax IT Solutions use Mikrotik Router OS, Mikrotik Routers are a fraction of the cost compared to a Cisco or Juniper router. Mikrotik Router OS has the cabability to do almost any router or firewall function that the big boys can do. For example, $220.00 in parts cost we can connect to remote offices together over a cable or DSL internet connection.
