ViPNet Technology Advantages
 2013, Infotecs
In today’s market, along with the ViPNet technology, there are
many other technologies for secure data transfer via a public
network.
What distinguishes ViPNet?

1. Centralized Network Control
ViPNet network
In a ViPNet network, there is a single
control host, which allows you to:
 Configure the network topology
ViPNet Manager
ViPNet Policy Manager
ViPNet StateWatcher
 Specify links between ViPNet hosts
 Manage encryption keys that are used
to establish protected connections
 Manage security policies for ViPNet
hosts centrally
 Monitor the network status as well as
statuses of each ViPNet host
 Transfer encryption keys and software
updates securely

2. Client-to-Client Traffic Protection
ViPNet solution:
Protected ViPNet connection

VPN
 In the ViPNet technology, Point-to-Point encryption is used
 Hence, your data is protected from interception on a VPN gateway as well
as in the local network segments

3. Traffic Protection within a Local Network
ViPNet solution:
Protected
connections
LAN
 All traffic is encrypted. Even in your local area network

4. Flexibility & Scalability
 With the ViPNet technology, you can
build a variety of network topology
schemes
 In a ViPNet network, all links are
specified on a single central host

5. Concurrent Access to Remote Points
Classic VPN solutions:
Web
 In the most of VPN technologies, to get access to a host, you must connect to
a special transport server first
 All traffic, even unnecessary, is transferred through this server and
is encrypted there

5. Concurrent Access to Remote Points
ViPNet solution:
Web
 In a ViPNet network, your host always has concurrent access to all ViPNet
hosts without the need to establish connection
 Only necessary traffic is encrypted, all other traffic goes as usual

6. Easy IP Address Configuration
Classic VPN solution:
192.168.0.3
192.168.0.4
 Every time you change
an IP address, you must also
change it on all VPN gateways
of your network manually
192.168.0.3
192.168.0.3
192.168.0.4
192.168.0.4

6. Easy IP Address Configuration
ViPNet solution:
 In a ViPNet network, every time you
change an IP address, it is changed
on all VPN gateways immediately
 Hence, uninterruptable operation
of the VPN network is guaranteed
192.168.0.3
192.168.0.4

7. No IP Addresses’ Conflicts
LAN 1
10.0.0.1
11.0.0.1
10.0.0.2
11.0.0.2
VPN
LAN 2
10.0.0.1
11.0.0.3
10.0.0.2
11.0.0.4
 In a ViPNet network, conflicts of IP addresses are eliminated by using
the virtual IP addresses technology
 Virtual IP addresses are assigned to each ViPNet host regardless
of its real IP address
