Point To Point

VPN Isn’t Cutting It

Your company’s data is important. Once your team outgrows one location and expands to another, you become tasked with securely transferring data back and forth between the two locations. If you are sending large amounts of data, the encryption on a VPN is going to cause a bottleneck that will slow your network to a crawl. If you are sending sensitive real-time applications between the sites, such as voice, a VPN cannot keep the quality high enough. Essentially, you are looking for a private line to keep your locations securely communicating at a high level of quality, at all times.

Point to Point is a wide area network (WAN), service that connects two sites with a straight-line, private connection. This connection is ideal for those that have only two sites with minimum mileage between them. This type of technology is most useful in two scenarios: if you are using real time applications including voice, video or remote desktop or if you are constantly sending large amounts of data between sites.

How does it work?

Essentially, a point to point network connection is an empty pipe providing a direct connection between your two sites. This pipe is supplied by the provider and all management is left in your hands so you can customize the connection the way that you want it and in the way that is most efficient for your business. This type of connection allows free flow of information between sites without the need for encryption because you are not using the public Internet.

What’s in it for you?

Experience faster network speeds. Zero encryption bottlenecking means a very responsive network. Transfer large amounts of data, voice and video communications geographically in real-time.

Pay less now and scale. Because the locations lie within a close proximity, costs are kept low. As your business grows, you can increase your bandwidth speed range and adjust the delivery method.

Keep your data safe. Point to point provides your company with a private line. You can rest assured that sensitive information will remain safe and confidential.

Instant flow of data between sites. Your data is able to travel from one site to another with ease and speed in a secure fashion. Want to connect your back up servers? Using this technology you can have servers in two different sites connected and mirroring each other so you have all of your information backed up in two different places.

Customize your connection. You are in full control of your connection and what you want to be prioritized when being pushed through whether that’s content, videos or data.
