VPN (virtual private network) technology, which has been around for more than a decade, is entering a new boom phase on the back of the rapid uptake of mobile, remote and cloud computing services by organisations of all sizes.

So says Andre Joubert, GM of MWeb Business, who adds that ADSL VPNs have long found favour among businesses with multiple branches by acting as cost-effective and secure branch connectors. With the advent of uncapped ADSL, VPNs are now uncapped branch connectors.

“With an ADSL VPN, organisations can establish a secure, encrypted channel through which data can be safely transferred between all locations across the Internet,” he explains.
