Managed VPN Service out of Baltimore, MD

Connect and Manage Remote Sites

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network configuration that uses public internet lines to allow companies with networking needs to accommodate not just its on-site employees, but employees in the field and at satellite offices as well.

While many companies meet their networking needs through the use of a wide area network (WAN), this is often done at great cost, depending on the distance that the network has to cover.

A virtual private network service, on the other hand, can be used by a business to establish a network at a fraction of the cost of what the business would have to pay for a WAN.

A VPN services provides your company with a number of different benefits that are the result of simplified network topology and scalability designed to address needs as they change with industry practices.

These benefits include:

• Connectivity – Along with employees in the field being able to access your company’s network, you can connect to remote sites on both a regional and global scale. A VPN also allows for easier, more cost effective connection to clients and affiliates.
• Faster Return on Investment – As stated, a VPN doesn’t cost as much as a traditional WAN. This lower cost means that the business that you conduct through your company’s VPN will be able to cover the cost of implementing that service sooner than would be possible with a WAN.
• Productivity – Having a VPN in place at your company makes telecommuting possible. Besides your employees being able to work from home, it would also be possible to access important files at in any time. This is an especially useful feature to have in case something unforeseen arises and you or an employee needs access to a file, but aren’t near the office at the moment.
