While it's clear these verticals, plus manufacturing, are beginning to look beyond a plain ROI argument, they must still balance the cost effectiveness of IPSec and SSL IP VPNs against the performance of MPLS.
Acknowledging the incessant march of SSL VPNs - which use a standard web browser to access applications over the internet - has been the recent news that Nortel has introduced SSL into its heavy-duty IPSec VPN range.
We have GPRS, dial-up via local access points, Wi-Fi hotspots as well as IPSec VPNs which provided access across any connection including third-party LANs (providing their firewalls were not too stringently configured).
