Evolving CPE-based VPNs: The secure routing technology business case

Part one of Nortel Networks VPN eSeminar series
Johannesburg, 02 Oct 2002

Date: 15 October 2002
Time: 2pm US EDT / 7:00 pm, UK

Nortel Networks will hold a moderately technical eSeminar, where Customer Premises Edge (CPE)-based virtual private networks (VPNs) will be discussed.

The discussion will focus on: The market for CPE-based VPNs, deployment scenarios, technical issues enterprises face when building large-scale CPE-based VPNs and how enterprises can benefit from innovative alternatives that overcome traditional technical limitations, while at the same time address TCO requirements. The session will conclude with a 15-minute Q&A session.

Nortel Networks VPN eSeminar series opens with an overview of CPE-based IP-VPNs. CPE is one of the most popular methods of implementing IP-VPNs and is in wide use by enterprises and service providers.

As a growing number of enterprises move to deploy VPNs - it becomes critical to address the performance, scalability and dynamic requirements of these networks in the same manner that traditional, "clear text" IP routed networks have previously benefited.

Most of the recently deployed enterprise branch-VPN networks are constrained by static branch configurations and/or complex overlay protocols and administration that have limited the size and scale of these networks. These early designs have been typified by bolted IPsec encryption to existing multi-protocol routers or access control devices (firewalls) that don`t understand Layer 3 with no real integration between dynamic routing and VPN/security.

Secure Routing Technology (SRT) is Nortel Networks` architectural framework that addresses the dynamic routing and scaling requirements of deploying large scale secure virtual private networks. SRT overcomes scaling limitations by truly integrating dynamic IP routing capabilities within a secure VPN framework to allow extremely high levels of scalability, performance and overall security when building large enterprise-class VPNs.

Host and presenter

John Gray, Contivity Product Marketing, Nortel Networks

Zeus Kerravala, VP Enterprise Infrastructure, the Yankee Group

Ed Daugavietis, VPN Solution Marketing, Nortel Networks

Who should attend

This VPN eSeminar is a global event for enterprises and service providers in search of deploying CPE-based VPN service, as well as interested analysts, media and consultants.

The eSeminar is designed to provide thorough information on technical issues enterprises face when building large-scale CPE-based VPNs and detail how enterprises can offer innovative alternatives that overcome traditional technical limitations, while at the same time address TCO requirements. Additionally, the eSeminar will define Secure Routing Technology and outline how this architecture provides the necessary scalability to drive more widespread delivery of secure IP services over the Internet.
