Many people want to know about the virtual private network, so I thought to provide some tips to set up a virtual private network.
Many companies are considering a virtual private network (VPN) to cover their Internet applications and share the same database for set-up. Want to know which approach is most efficient and cost effective. To help this learning opportunity and I will set up a realistic example. Practice and then respond to every concern around this scenario.
You have 10 satellite offices at a distance each with multiple users and you want to connect to a location of headquarters. For this scenario, here are my suggestions to address the most common set-up concerns. First ..... connection from site to site is optimized; having two VPN routers criterion talk to each other, you can have all the computers behind each router to connect or more for every computer to have a customer charge. Depending on what you buy a router, some come with pre-installed PPTP and IPSec VPN client already installed so you're all set.
Then, the type of network connection you will use is essential. As the cable, xDSL, T1, or DS3. Depending on the size of your database use (number of users and load up each of your network), you should consider a T1 line that your spine. You can always evolve as the need arises (an easement T1 or DS3) or reduced if it is justified (Fractional T1). This level of bandwidth dedicated circuit also offers greater reliability, stability and scalability not to mention a QoS (Quality of Service) and SLA (Service Level Agreement) which trains providers on these levels of circuits. It makes business sense.
Remember to measure your budget for equipment, and also determine if there is an expectation for all people who travel will need remote access. The first I address next.
