Corporate network security has always regrettably gotten in the way of accessibility. How much can you open without risking unnecessary exposure of critical data? More importantly, can it be accessed easily and cost effectively?

Introducing Virtual Private Networks (VPN). VPN's typically are TCP/IP-based networks (usually the public Internet) that use encryption and tunneling to achieve one or more of the following goals:

• Connect users securely to their own corporate network (remote access).
• Link branch offices to an enterprise network (Intranet).
• Extend organizations' existing computing infrastructure to include partners, suppliers and customers (extranet).

The idea is to extend trust relationships across an economical public network without sacrificing security. Ideally, a VPN should behave similarly to a private network; it should be secure, highly available and have predictable performance.
