Private Networking when Security matters


Download article - Private Networks, the Benefits


For organisations with two or more sites (head office and one or more branch locations), an alchemyIT Private Networking solution may be the best option for you.


Unlike VPN's (Virtual Private Networks), there are no routers, no firewalls, no special security devices, no hassles or difficulties in managing and maintaining the Private Network.

A Private network is a TLAN (or Transparent LAN). It is an extension of your companies own LAN. And it does this using NEC/Nextep's Layer 2 ATM network. Which means it is totally secure and safe and invisible from any outside prying eyes. Simply plug the PN modem into your head office switch and your remote locations are connected to your internal LAN. Of course, you may chose to employ additional firewall and routing rules should this be company policy.


An alchemyIT Private Networking solution all adds up to lower cost of ownership.

  • Absolute security between all sites.
