Internet VPN : Upgrading the Efficacy of Virtual Private Networks for Businesses

The Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology had surfaced to address growing business concerns about the security of their online activities in the Web 2.0 world. Organisations wanted to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of the data they regularly transmit online as a part of their operations. With the growth of the bring your own device (BYOD) culture, they also wanted to give their employees the flexibility of securely accessing data from any location.

As a leading provider of connectivity and communication solutions, Tata Tele Business Services (TTBS) addressed the need for data privacy with its SLA-backed Smart VPN private WAN connectivity solutions. The product was adopted by a range of businesses and appreciated for its ability to establish a robust network with enhanced security, multiple connectivity options, performance monitoring system and cost-savings. It was designed on the pillars of multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), Secure Connect, ubiquitous last mile and VPN technologies.

To further build upon the merits of Smart VPN and enhance last-mile connectivity with MPLS, the TTBS team has now devised a data solution called the Internet VPN

A cost-effective product that can work with any broadband or third-party Internet Leased Line across locations, Internet VPN involves almost nil CapEx and has an average delivery TAT of merely 7-10 days. It does not need any support from third parties, seamlessly integrates with MPLS and has a quick plug & play deployment mechanism. The network can be set up in-house, and unlike older VPN technologies, it eliminates the need for multiple handoffs.

Business Benefits of Internet VPN

The fact that VPN secures online communications and minimises data theft incidents is well-known and prompts businesses to opt for the service.

With the new Internet, an enterprise can also get benefits such as:

It enables banks and other enterprises to transmit financial and other confidential details across locations on a privatised Internet connection, thwarting the risks of data thefts.

As a security tool, it can support an enterprise at an average price of less than Rs.2000 a month. Furthermore, a single connection typically supports up to 10 devices, helping to attain economies of scale.
