[vpn] vpn question

[sam]

Here are some thoughts...

For software solution:
InfoExpress (http://www.infoexpress.com/products/vpn/index.html) has
software solution that sits on a dedicated Windows box and supports
practically everything.

For Hardware solution:
I recommend the Nokia CryptoCluster series for site to site, client to site,
and site to 3rd party unmanaged site for its bandwidth, policy management,
and pricing.

Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me for any more information.

Subject: [vpn] vpn question


I have a 5 branch company with 50 pc's throughout. Headquarters has 34, and
there are 4 in each of the others. We are on a Windows NT network, and our
locations are connected by frame relay at 64 Kbps. We utilize VoIP.

To save money, and give me the ability to get higher bandwidth, I would
like to get rid of the frame relay, and switch to a VPN. I have done a lot
of
research, but am still confused as to whether I can simply implement Windows
NT (or Windows 2000) software VPN, or if I need to implement a hardware
based
VPN. I also am considering the possiblity of outsourcing. Can you offer me
some advice?
