Virtual Private Network (VPN) has attracted the attention of many organizations looking to both expand their networking capabilities and reduce their costs. As companies become more decentralized, they find themselves with employees all over the country and around the world. Increasingly, these workers need the same access to corporate information as those still at headquarters. Enterprises are finding benefits in enabling skilled employees to telecommute. With the increased use of remote access, site-to-site connectivity and extranets, and the interest in extending the enterprise on the upswing, it is clear that VPNs can potentially provide many benefits.
This business case explores the opportunities and benefits that can be realized in the deployment of VPN product(s) or solution(s), as well as the costs and associated risks involved. However, the template may need customization. Each organization is likely to have unique challenges and opportunities that the business case should address.
