A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is used to provide secure, encrypted network communications between a network and a remote host or other remote network over the public Internet. A VPN establishes an encrypted "tunnel" that protects the flow of network traffic from eavesdroppers.

SilverData can deploy IP-based VPN technology over the internet, or in some cases a VPN might be hosted on an internal network (intranet) to encrypt sensitive information.

VPN technology is varied, and some issues that we would be consider during design include:

• Strength of security built into the VPN
• Integrated firewall
• IP addressing
• IPv6 support
• Multicast
• Key and policy management
• Authentication
