TABLE OF CONTENTS The president of your company has asked you if VPN technology could benefit the company. What is the greatest benefit provided by VPN?
VPN solutions provide secure connectivity at a significant price savings compared to long distance analog or dedicated circuit connections.
VPN solutions utilize fewer resources than dedicated circuits or analog connections.
VPN solutions provide better remote control capabilities than other third-party alternatives.
VPN solutions provide higher speed connections than dedicated circuits or analog connections.
A. Answer A is the correct answer. Relying on inexpensive, local phone-service Internet access to connect to remote servers, VPNs provide inexpensive alternatives to long distance analog connections. Also, providing an Internet-based solution to connectivity for higher bandwidth connections, VPNs provide an inexpensive alternative to long-haul T-carrier circuits.
x Answer B is incorrect, because oftentimes, VPN networks rely on more resources than a standard analog or dedicated circuit. Answer C is incorrect, because VPN services provide remote access capabilities, not remote control. Microsoft Terminal Server provides a remote control type of connection. Answer D is incorrect, because VPNs still rely on an underlying network connection of some type. The underlying network connection determines the bandwidth of the connection, not the VPN.
