Traditionally remote access has been achieved by connecting to a network using either ISDN or analogue telephone lines.
The cost of call charges for this solution can be significant, particularly from international locations, and performance is limited to the connection speed.
A more effective and efficient solution is to connect to the company network across the Internet through a VPN.
VPN utilises sophisticated encryption and encapsulation technology to allow data to be securely transmitted across the Internet.
Employees, partners or customers can establish network connections from any location using their local Internet connection.
This solution can be used with standard dial-up access but is particularly effective where unmetered high speed broadband Internet connections are used.
