Most Corporate users access their VPNs by dialing long distance. This may be fine as far as the Enterprise being able to afford this luxury, but it is the most obsolete way to connect.

The problems associated with long distance calling, range from dropped lines to connections at speeds as low as 4.8 Kbps.

MaGlobe connections being local calls, offer higher connectivity speeds up to 56 Kbps, besides costing only a fraction of the long distance charge.

Corporations, have typically gone in for one of two solutions.
A. Install network capability at multiple locations.
B. Out source to a Roaming (Remote Access) Provider.
Both above scenarios, have failed to fulfill the goals as intended.

The requirement of an organization is fairly straight forward - 
'Provide Internet connectivity to all employees, to enable them to stay connected with the Corporate VPN, without compromising Security.'

A. Install network capability at multiple locations
Organizations have invested huge amounts of money and time to setup physical infrastructure to provide their traveling staff with Internet capabilities.

The end result being:

• Limited coverage, normally restricted to locations where the organization has a presence.
• Limited Internet access, normally restricted to the Intranet.
• Annual maintenance and up-gradation costs.

MaGlobe provides the same functionality, with no capital investments or annual maintenance costs, complete Internet access besides the Corporate VPN and a larger selection of numbers.

B. Out source to a Roaming (Remote Access) Provider.
Organizations have out sourced their 'Remote Access' to vendors, who require the organization to install specialized Hardware and Software.

The organization depends on the vendor to provide the access, while they authenticate their own users using the installed Hardware / Software. This is one of the most insecure methods of providing VPN access.

Simply put, when users dial into one of the vendors locations, the users provide their Corporate Username / Password to gain authentication. This information is routed to the organizations server, via the vendors servers, which keeps a record of the authentication data, for purpose of billing.

This violates all laws of maintaining Corporate secrecy, as the vendor is in possession of the users Corporate Username / Password.

The MaGlobe architecture, allows the user to gain Internet access using a 'Public' access information (MaGlobe Username / Password) and then connect to the VPN using 'Private' access information (Corporate VPN Username / Password). On connecting with the VPN, the link is secured between the users terminal and the Corporate servers (depending on the type of VPN solution being used).

Consequently, MaGlobe provides the most secure VPN access solution, without installation of any Hardware or Software.
