Networked cooperation between several offices or even between continents has become an everyday part of modern business. The paths of communication between headquarters, subsidiaries and field workers almost always rely upon public infrastructures. VPN has become established as the de facto standard for cost-effective and secure enterprise communications over the Internet.
However, many of important elements in these network structures remain susceptible to failure which could have severe consequences for business operations:
- The remote Internet gateway 1 can fail.
- The physical lines for the connection to the Internet or to a remote network can fail:
- The Internet-access cable between the site and the provider 2 could fail; after damage from construction work, for example.
- The DSL connection 3 may fail, while the ISDN/LTE connection remains functional.
- The provider's network 4 may malfunction or even fail.
Devices from LANCOM offer a range of security and backup functions that can be used for the protection of your network from faults.
