Scalable VPN technology boosts employee satisfaction, improves enterprise business resilience, and lowers remote-access costs.

Article Summary:

When Cisco IT migrated 9000 remote-access users to a new VPN service in 2001, no one realized fully how much this move would transform Cisco culture and productivity for years to come. Just two years later in 2003, more than 23,000 Cisco employees worldwide were using VPN for remote access at greatly reduced costs.

This security and VPN case study details the remote-access VPN architecture and business benefits gained from the migration, including:

  • Reduced support overhead
  • Lower per-user costs
  • Improved security
  • Enhanced business flexibility and globalization
