Scalability
The cost to an organization of
traditional leased lines may
be reasonable at first but can
increase exponentially as the
organization grows. A company
with two branch offices, for
example, can deploy just one
dedicated line to connect the
two locations. If a third
branch office needs to come
online, just two additional
lines will be required to
directly connect that location
to the other two.
However, as an organization
grows and more companies must
be added to the network, the
number of leased lines
required increases
dramatically. Four branch
offices require six lines for
full connectivity; five
offices require ten lines, and
so on. Mathematicians call
this phenomenon a
"combinatorial explosion," and
in a traditional WAN this
explosion limits the
flexibility for growth. VPNs
that utilize the Internet
avoid this problem by simply
tapping into the
geographically-distributed
access already available.
Compared to leased lines,
Internet-based VPNs offer
greater global reach, given
that Internet access points
are accessible in many places
where dedicated lines are not
available.
Remote Access
A VPN can support the same
intranet/extranet services as
a traditional WAN, but VPNs
have also grown in popularity
for their ability to support
remote access service. In
recent years, many
organizations have increased
the mobility of their workers
by allowing more employees to
telecommute. Employees also
continue to travel and face an
increasing need to stay
"plugged in" to the company
network.
Leased lines don't support
mobile workers well because
the lines fail to extend to
people's homes or their travel
destinations. Companies that
don't use VPNs must resort to
implementing specialized
"secure dial-up" services in
this case. To log in to a
dial-up intranet, a remote
worker must call into a
company's remote access server
using either a 1-800 number or
a local number. The overhead
of maintaining such a system
internally, coupled with the
possibility of high long
distance charges incurred by
travelers, make VPNs an
appealing option here.
Low Cost
One way a VPN lowers
costs is by eliminating the need for expensive
long-distance leased lines. With VPNs, an
organization needs only a relatively short
dedicated connection to the service provider. This
connection could be a local leased line (much less
expensive than a long-distance one), or it could
be a local broadband connection such as DSL
service.
Another way VPNs reduce costs is
by lessening the need for long-distance telephone
charges for remote access. Recall that to provide
remote access service, VPN clients need only call
into the nearest service provider's access point.
In some cases this may require a long distance
call, but in many cases a local call will suffice.
A third, more subtle way that VPNs may lower costs
is through offloading of the support burden. With
VPNs, the service provider rather than the
organization must support dial-up access, for
example. Service providers can in theory charge
much less for their support than it costs a
company internally because the public provider's
cost is shared amongst potentially thousands of
customers.
Asset Management
In a typical company
of 1,000 employees, 15 million pages are copied,
faxed and printed each year, at an average cost of
$1 million. 82,000 man-hours are spent just
walking pages between desks and imaging devices,
contributing to a $2 million a year labor cost
part of a total labor cost for producing these
images.
Simply stated, most companies have
too many printers, copiers and fax machines, in
too many places, with too much duplication of
effort and too much cost in a large enterprise.
Virsecure solutions reduce the number of print
locations while reducing the time it takes for
people to get their copies, faxes and printouts.
The key is to optimize the number, location and
business rules for usage of all equipment - so you
not only lower costs, you also get distribution
closer to the end user.
Of course, while
doing all this, it's important to be sensitive to
the change management issues within your
organization. This is where our extensive onsite
experience with all kinds of company cultures can
make sure this change is a change for the better.
