A private network is a highly secure wide area network (WAN). The private network has no access to the public Internet. This offers clients better security than traditional based firewall products which route across the public internet. The private network links multiple site locations together offering rich data availability within the PWAN. The private network is the perfect secure carrier for;

• EFT (Electronic File Transfer)
• EPOS (Electronic Point of Sale)
• Citrix
• Terminal Services

Cost Effective
Blaze Networks’ private network can be built using any of our available circuits, including: Broadband, SDSL, FTTC, FTTP and leased lines. Our ability as an ISP to customise connections around the exact requirements of our customers, leads to low cost deployments that other providers are unable to match. Private network tails do not require expensive IPSec based firewalls. As a result, this leads to the lowest cost deployment available for organisations. IT management can focus on the one Firewall entry point into the infrastructure, allowing concentrated security investment into one point greatly reduces administration and subscription costs across the estate. Examples of subscription costs that are required in VPN deployments are IPS intrusion prevention, AV Anti Virus, content filtering etc...
