Cisco Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
Cisco provides multiple alternatives for configuring a VPN system, allowing you to select the approach that most closely aligns with your operational requirements. You can install both remote access and site-to-site Virtual Private Networks with IOS Software, with software and Advanced Integrated Module (AIM) encryption boards, or with hardware units, such as a Virtual Private Network concentrator, router, Cisco ASA 5500-X firewalls with Firepower, or dedicated Virtual Private Network server for dial-up services. All Cisco Virtual Private Network approaches are easy to deploy and manage and provide the flexibility to evolve along with your changing business requirements.
