Are you looking to set up a Virtual Private Network (or VPN) for your business based in Newbury, Thatcham and Hungerford? Do you need a Virtual Private Network? Do you know what a Virtual Private Network is? How do you set up a Virtual Private Network? If you are unsure, then speak to IT Solve.

What is a VPN?

A VPN allows a business with two or more sites, no matter where they are, to link them over the Internet. They appear to be on a single network, even though the sites are not directly connected; hence a “virtual” network. And they are “private” as all the information transmitted within a VPN is encrypted and can only be read by another member of the network. With a correctly setup VPN, all users can share files, software and printers as if they were in the same office.

Why Do I Want One?

Even if business operate from a number of sites, everyone usually needs to be able to work with the same basic data, irrespective of where it is held. For example, the warehouse may need to update stock records for accounts, who are elsewhere, while sales may want to print picking lists and dispatch notes in a warehouse two counties away. And for staff working from home, a VPN can allow partial or full access to documents, systems and data.

Are There Problems With VPNs?

The main problem with such networks concern the speed of the connection. While high-speed ADSL (broadband) connections are now widely available, the headline speed quoted only applies to data downloading fromthe Internet. Transmitting information to the Internet is still relatively slow and a uniform 256Kb. For general Internet browsing this is not a great issue, however when used for a VPN it can be. Every time information is transferred between sites one upload and one download are involved and hence the speed is limited to 256Kb although faster links, including upload speeds increased by two or three times are starting to become available.

The speed limitation can be a problem, particularly with some small business accounting packages, but fortunately there are ways the system can be set up to deal with these limitations. To find out more, turn to IT Solve.
