As technology surges forward, more and more businesses are finding the need to hire network specialists to help manage their IT needs. Such ventures can prove to be extremely costly, and will only provide a limited knowledge and expertise in your network. Now businesses can leverage the decades of experience and wide scope of knowledge the at the ACI Network Operations teams possesses.
Through the use a centrally managed firewall and VPN solution from ACI, clients will immediately find it considerably easier to deploy new applications, take peace of mind in knowing their network traffic is secure, and ultimately allow them to focus on the other areas of business they are best at!
While clients with "on-net" connections with ACI can easily utilize the private networking solutions, sites in other locations around the world may not have the ability to connect in securely in the same fashion. In these cases, ACI is able to build, maintain and support VPN Tunnels back to the client's privatized network utilizing IPSec tunnels and 3DES data encryption.
For clients that have a smaller footprint and fewer sites, ACI's managed VPN service is an excellent alternative to a full privatized network solution which is generally utilized for larger scale instances consisting of 50+ sites nationwide. Each site will utilize either a managed modem/router or a dedicated firewall/router device to directly connect back to redundant Juniper VPN concentrators located at ACI's 151 Front St. Data center. This type of topology results in a hub and spoke scenario ensuring that should one link fail, it will not affect other sites deployed throughout the network.
Here are just a few of the major benefits of utilizing ACI's Managed Networks & VPNs :

- Completely scalable - Add, remove or move new sites with ease.
- Open the possibility for users to remotely connect while they are working remotely.
- Improved security : Take peace of mind knowing your information is always secured.
- Replace costly point-to-point links, saving hundreds and even thousands of dollars.
- Dedicated support teams available to manage and support your network.
