Comparing an augmented VPN to a traditional VPN is similar to comparing a car navigator to
a simple road map. Both use the same basic information, but there is a huge evolutionary
step between them. A car navigator has much more embedded functionality such as location
awareness, current traffic information, search functionality, service locator, route tracking and
other functions that have provided the evolutionary step forward.
A similar development is taking place in Virtual Private Networking (VPN). During the early
phase of the globalization it was enough for a company to be able to connect their offices and
production sites with each other with a simple VPN or point to point dedicated circuit. However,
the situation has changed dramatically since those days. This whitepaper will provide solutions for optimized network security, performance and cost efficiencies.
