In today's business environment, ubiquitous connectivity and maximized use of corporate networked resources can be decisive factors that enable a business to reduce costs, increase productivity, and maintain a competitive edge. Pressured by limited resources and budget, IT managers increasingly rely on more cost-effective, flexible, and scalable IP-based VPNs to streamline their corporate networks and facilitate stronger external relationships with customers, suppliers, and partners. Adding to this challenge is a need to integrate data, voice, and video traffic over economical, scalable, and dependable networks. IP-based VPNs have emerged as a viable solution for meeting these challenges, and increasing numbers of IT managers are now looking to service providers for value added, cost-effective, VPN-based services.
