Virtual Net

This package provides all the hardware and software you will need to turn a home broadband connection into a direct link from your laptop computer to the heart of your internal company network. Allow employees to access shared resources, company Intranets and corporate information, without any risk to the security of that data. They can also gain access to central resources when out at meetings or staying hotels, all they will need is their laptop and a dial-up or wi-fi connection.

Through high-level encryption and user authentication you can be sure that anyone accessing your network is an employee. All data leaving your network is encrypted so is unreadable until it reaches its destination, making VirtualNet an extremely secure, cost effective way of sharing knowledge and information.

VirtualNet Key Features

Our VirtualNet package will provide you with a fully managed firewall for head office that is connected to your Onyx Internet broadband or leased line service. This firewall stops any un-authorised users accessing your shared resources but has the capability to let the authorised ones in. You will then need an Onyx home broadband connection at all the remote/home workers locations, and we will provide you with VPN software to create a secure, encrypted tunnel from their laptop to head office. All hardware is dispatched pre-configured and will be fully managed so you don't have to worry about the day-to-day running of your VPN solution.

Security and Services

When setting up a network with multiple users, increasing flow of traffic and a growing dependency on the availability of resources it is important that you take all the security measures possible to protect your employees, your information and your IT resources. All our VirtualNet packages come with the fundamental security services needed to protect your valuable IT network. All employee e-mails are scanned for viruses and spam, reducing the amount of space and bandwidth wasted on unwanted mail. You will also be able to control and monitor web access of employees at head office to enforce acceptable usage policies.

VPN Technology

The VPN Client license uses SafeNet/Soft-PK technology, the most widely deployed IPSec-compliant, virtual private network (VPN) client. Thanks to this widespread deployment, SafeNet/Soft-PK is the defacto standard VPN software. SafeNet/Soft-PK encryption technology is based on the latest industry-standard IPSec recommendations. It provides VPN capability to computers running Microsoft® Windows® operating systems, enabling secure communications over IP broadband and dial-up connections.

The VPN Client uses the IPSec ESP tunnel mode to form a secure communications channel to a network secured by a firewall. The VPN Client can also be used with IPSec gateways and firewalls, or another host running IPSec compatible VPN software, such as another computer running the VPN Client.
