Hello-- General question regarding VPN services.<br />
<br />
My company uses Sonicwall Netextender for our VPN needs. <br />
This system-- while functional, is limited and a tad dated (implemented 2009)<br />
<br />
As for limitations, there are only a few seats that can be had simultaneously from our Netextender service. When multiple people log on, the connection bogs to a trickle. recently, the hardware keeps restarting itself periodically.<br />
<br />
When implemented, we were on a 2003 environment, but since, we have since updated to a 2008 environment. I'm not sure if this system was implemented to run under the older systems' 32-bit limitations.<br />
<br />
Obviously, I could stick with Sonicwall, upgrade the hardware and subscribe to a more modern service from them, however, I'm curious to what other people are using, and how satisfied they are with their VPN solutions.<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
