A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a private communications network often used within a company, or by several companies or organizations, to communicate confidentially over a publicly accessible network. VPN message traffic can be carried over a public networking infrastructure (e.g. the Internet) on top of standard protocols.
Organizations are rapidly discovering that a virtual private network (VPN) over a public network such as the Internet is a cost-effective solution for providing remote access to the corporate network as well as for remote networks to communicate with each other across the Internet. A VPN can allow users remote access to critical network services such as e-mail and enable users to share data, video, and voice in situations where the underlying network is potentially insecure.

Today, resistance welding takes many forms across numerous applications in diverse market seg-ments. While each company must decide the most efficient welding technology for its various operations, the parameters that govern such decisions often change, sometimes rather quickly over short time intervals. This means decision makers must constantly monitor welding processes to ensure the right technology is applied to each application and done so in a cost effective manner. Download Now
Virtual private networks (VPNs) are the technologies most widely used by organizations today in the provision of remote access to their networks for employees, business partners and suppliers. Of the VPNs available, IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) VPNs provide the most complete remote access solution, although they have traditionally been seen as costly and difficult to deploy.
While IPSec VPN implementation has traditionally been viewed as expensive and time-consuming for large organizations, Quocirca has found that the next generation of IPSec VPN technologies has addressed these management headaches through automation, integrated security policy management, and centralized control.
