Securely connecting your central office to one
or more branch offices
Nitix includes TunnelVision
technology, a highly secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) system that can
be configured in just a few seconds.
Using the Internet
instead of expensive dedicated private lines, TunnelVision
is a safe, easy, and inexpensive way to connect offices
to each other. Data is protected in transit using highly
secure 128-bit and 1024-bit encryption algorithms similar
to those used in online banking.
TunnelVision makes it easier to use than any other
VPN technology. Without needing any special configuration, it offers these
features:
-
Auto-routing -
there's no need to manually configure any special
IP settings or firewall options for the different
networks on the VPN. Nitix automatically learns
which addresses are available from each VPN gateway,
and sets up its routing and firewalls accordingly.
-
Mesh interconnection
- each office has a direct connection to each other
office, which is only activated when necessary.
There's no need to route all requests through a
central server if you don't want to.
-
Transparent encrypted
connections - without needing to install any special
software on your workstations, Tunnel Vision makes
it seem like all the servers on all remote networks
are directly connected. Browsing files in a distant
office works exactly like browsing files on the
local server.
Road warriors away from the office can connect
their personal computer to the VPN using the Microsoft PPTP software
built into Windows. Compatible software is also available for Macintosh
and UNIX systems.
TunnelVision and RAS
support are included in Nitix for no extra charge.
