Cloud-based Security Services make VPN Legacy

VPN (Virtual Private Network) is not particularly simple to deploy and requires high-level understanding of network security and about the selected solution. Careful and expensive planning and configuration is often needed to achieve a reliable and scalable VPN service.

Integrius secure cloud-based service platform can in most cases replace VPN solutions.

Comparing VPN and the Integrius platform

Technology	Legacy VPN	Integrius Service Platform
Architecture	Dependencies on built-in VPN client in operating systems.	Modular architecture, upgradable to, over time new secure technologies.
Configuration	Often requires special know-how and careful planning.	Mostly works out off the box. Configuration is centralized.
Security	Generally secure - PPTP often used for compatibility with older clients. PPTP has multiple security weaknesses.	Strong secure encryption built on multiple proven algorithms.
Load balancing	Only supports DNS-based and local load balancing.	Load balancing built into the protocols in addition to DNS-based balancing.
Future upgrades	Limited by standards and dependencies.	Upgradable and handles new future technologies.
Mobility	Often none or limited. Special non-compatible solutions exist for mobile usage. For example mobile VPN (mVPN).	One of the worlds fastest compression algorithms (400-500% faster than ZIP), up to doubles the network performance. Connection persistence to keep connections open while moving between networks and areas without coverage.
Legislations	Specific set up for each individual country legislation required.	Dynamically adapts the encryption methods according to any country legislation.
Connections	Only one simultaneous VPN connection possible.	Multiple dynamic connections to multiple points from the same client for optimal security and flexibility.
Quality of Service	Requires special solutions.	Quality of Service possible out of the box.
