Overview Overview

Optimise your ICT infrastructure with a fast and fully secure private network. 
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is the perfect solution for fast and safe communication between several business locations. Furthermore, a VPN solution provides your staff with the flexibility to work as seamlessly at home or on the road as in the office.

Your advantages

Increased productivity

Thanks to a Virtual Private Network, your staff has a secure connection to your business network, 24/7 and accessible worldwide. People who work from home and account managers can work remotely in all freedom and still communicate with colleagues, retrieve and process files in real-time, etc., just like they were at the office.

Furthermore, internal communication within your company becomes significantly simpler and more efficient because all the business networks are connected to one another.

Optimal cost management

By centralising your entire ICT infrastructure, you drastically save on electricity, hardware, management and maintenance. In this way you can make better use of your network and optimise it even further.

Safe and scaleable

With a VPN solution, files are sent encrypted by means of a secure internet connection, without you as a user noticing anything. The sent data can only be decoded with the help of a series of security keys. 
VPN is entirely scaleable and is always tailor-made to suit your business and your budget. You can easily expand your existing solution so that you always have enough available capacity.

Together with your staff, you can also provide your partners and clients limited access to your business network, without compromising on security.

Entirely managed by edpnet

Layer 2* VPN (MPLS)

Layer 2 VPN using MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching – a mechanism to transport data across a network) is perfectly suitable for easily connecting two physically separate networks together into one large private network.

The MPLS network does not travel via the public internet. There is no encryption or additional security needed at each location, which enables you to optimise your performance level and efficiency.

A VPN network via EFM and fibre optics  is delivered entirely via MPLS at layer 2*, making internal routing and security significantly easier. The major advantage in comparison to layer 3* VPN (for ex. IPSEC) is that no ‘tunnels’ (routers and lines) need to be configured. This simplifies the maintenance and management of the business network and ensures that you can easily add new connections.

IPSEC VPN (Internet Protocol Security)

IPSEC VPN is the ideal solution for connecting a second (or more) offices with your central business network.

With IPSEC VPN, edpnet builds a local, virtual private network on the existing internet. This VPN connection, including routers, is entirely set up, secured, encrypted and tested.

IPSEC VPN is used to offer employees across the world access to the business network via a secure connection.

SSL VPN (Secure Sockets Layer)

SSL VPN is extremely suitable for making servers available outside the local business network. To provide maximum security for your server access, data traffic with SSL VPN is also encrypted as it is with IPSEC VPN.
