VPNs in action

We have configured and installed Virtual Private Networks for many companies now. Below is a case study for a recent installation that we hope will highlight the benefits that this company saw once their VPN system was installed.

Situation
The company in question have a head office, a smaller branch office with one single PC and a user that needs to work from home. They came to us with some ideas for what they wanted to achieve.

Solution
We installed ADSL connections at each of the three locations, and configured and installed firewalls for VPN capability. The home user is able to access the corporate network from home, as well as use applications installed on the office PCs.

The company have security cameras installed in the office and these can also be monitored from the home users' remote location. This has proven to be of great benefit to them on several occasions where the security alarms have been triggered and the home user was able to view the inside and outside of the office from home within seconds.

Documents that are confidential can be printed out directly to the remote user's printer at home, or alternatively they can be printed to the other office. This helps to centralise the whole operation.

If you think that a VPN could benefit your company, then contact us and we'll guide you through the many different scenarios.
