To VPN or Not to VPN - What Remote Access Solution is Right for You?
Overview
Finding a cost-effective and secure way to give employees access to corporate resources
with maximum uptime is a problem IT managers face daily. There are a number of
approaches to deploying a remote access solution – dialup is a widely used solution, but
even small companies can receive bills for thousands of dollars per month to provide dialup
service to employees. VPNs have been given a great deal of press lately, but is VPN really
the best answer? Other technologies are available that may offer a much lower total cost of
ownership.
This business white paper outlines potential issues and costs involved with deploying a
dialup, VPN and SSL solution. It suggests that, in most cases, an SSL-based authentication
appliance can address most of these issues and may render a far lower total cost of
ownership. This white paper concludes with an ROI analysis for a hypothetical one
thousand-person company.
