Virtual Private Networks

What is a Virtual Private Network(VPN)?
A VPN is a private connection between two machines or networks over a shared or public network.  VPN technology lets an organization securely extend its network services over the Internet to remote users, branch offices, and partner companies. VPNs turn the Internet into a simulated private WAN.

Growing numbers of remote and mobile workers require secure global connectivity. This is leading to explosive growth in encrypted and authenticated VPN technology. This rapidly advancing technology allows organizations to extend their network service over the Internet to branch offices and traveling or teleworking users thereby creating a virtual private WAN via the Internet.
