The VPN capabilities of the NetPilot range offer an easy and
secure way for organisations to deploy Internet-based IPSec
Virtual Private Networks, Internet access and email facilities.
They integrate key communications, networking and server elements
into a single unit. NetPilot VPN is ideal for medium-sized organisations
or as a VPN node at a branch office of a larger organisation.
NetPilot Enterprise VPN is ideal for locating at a central site
or for power applications at branch offices.
By installing these new products organisations can establish
totally secured VPNs between their sites using existing Internet
connections. Secure networks can be easily established. Other
Internet activities, such as web browsing and the transferring
of email to and from other destinations around the world, can
operate alongside the VPN activity
It's also possible to establish VPN connections from remote
sites that have NetPilot VPN with ISDN connectivity, to a centrally
located NetPilot VPN or Enterprise VPN which has a permanent
Internet connection via leased line or DSL. Note a fixed, static
IP address, is required whether the NetPilot VPN or Enterprise
VPN is connected through a fixed leased line, DSL or dial up
ISDN. (Only VPN single user client client configurations can
operate with a dynamic IP address)
Both NetPilot VPN products provide the facilities for remote
access to, and administration of, NetPilots and associated local
networks. All these functions are achieved at low cost - using
the Internet - and are totally secure. Also provided is the
functionality to remotely access email on NetPilot or an office
mail-server on its LAN, from anywhere in the world. From home
or hotel, an office network is securely accessible for the cost
of a local phone call if Internet access is available - no more
direct dialing to a RAS server is required. A suitable IPSec
client installed on the PC or Notebook being used to remotely
access the NetPilot is required for this capability.
Previously, VPN functionality had been offered on the NetPilot
and NetPilot Enterprise as an extra cost optional upgrade. To
make the process of procuring and installing a VPN capable product
hassle free, the new NetPilot VPN and NetPilot Enterprise VPN
products come ready to roll with VPN out of the box.
