Virtual Private Networks

Danick Systems 719 Washington St. Norwood, MA 02062 (781)762-1084

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are one of the latest developments that has sprung from the rapid advancement of the Internet. A VPN leverages the internet to seamlessly connect geographically dispersed workforces. If your business has more than one office or employees on the run, then a VPN may be right for you.

VPNs are a much lower cost alternative to Wide Area Networks (WANs). A WAN is essentially the same as a local computer network, except the network is wired between two or more remote locations. The cost of laying cable for miles between two offices is essentially beyond the reach of all but the largest corporations. VPNs bypass the need for expensive location to location wiring by using the existing structure of the Internet and telephone lines. Each location has a VPN device that encrypts and decodes the information being sent across the phone lines between the separate locations. The end result is the appearance of both locations acting as a single network, wherein users can share files, collaborate, etc.

VPNs can be installed and implemented in a variety of ways for a multiple of purposes.  Danick Systems can help you find the right product for your needs and make the necessary preparations for installation.  We will work with the major VPN manufactures to ensure that you have a seamless integration of VPN and that it will perform as advertised.
