IP VPN Dedicated lets you send data across our global IP infrastructure with the security you expect of a private network, at an economical price.

Protection against unwanted access to your network

We provide tested IPsec-based VPN routers, as well as multiple access methods, including leased line, NxT1 MLFR, and DSL.
Access Control Lists (ACLs) and router-based firewall support provide a layer of IP traffic security, helping protect you against unwanted access to your network.

A network built around your business needs

Availability on Verizon Business' IP network in more than 34 countries around the world, and in over 100 more countries through third-party access.
Traffic Shaping/Bandwidth Allocation helps provide real-time prioritization of outbound data from your LAN to the edge of our IP network.
Flexibility with hub-and-spoke, full-mesh, or mixed topologies is available (Internet access can be easily included).
Our scalable service is easy to reconfigure as your business expands.
Competitive Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for all access types, including third party access.

Peace of mind through resiliency options and our IP network

World-class network performance is provided by our Global IP backbone with built-in redundancy (access from 128 Kbps for small offices to OC-12 for large hub sites).
Optional resiliency features, such as Cold Standby, ISDN Back-Up, Diverse Shadow, and Dual CPE Redundancy provide added peace of mind.

Fully managed service

A fully managed WAN service that can help reduce the total cost of ownership and management difficulties associated with providing internal engineering, operations, and technical support services for enterprise networks.
World class Managed Network Service NOC provides around-the-clock network management, while Verizon Business dedicated field technicians provide on-site installation and maintenance 24 x 7.

Technical specifications of Dedicated VPN

Technical features

Topology Options. Verizon Business® offers Hub and Spoke, Fully Meshed, and Joined VPN designs to support your communications requirements.
Standards-Based Technology. IP VPN Dedicated Services rely on industry standard IPSec tunneling and end-to-end encryption protocols.
VPN Security. Verizon Business uses a key management system based on SNMP V3 passwords to maintain control over access to your VPN.
Automated Management. The equipment required for IP VPN Dedicated Services also includes automated management options that allow you to dynamically change your security policies.
Fail-Over Support. Verizon Business' Frame to VPN fail-over configuration provides a back-up communications path if your frame relay connection becomes unavailable.
Resilient Node Designs. Verizon Business also offers resilient node designs that provide shadow and ISDN backup, load-sharing configurations, dual CPE fail-over, super-hub designs, and cold spare options.
Network Address Translation (NAT). Your remote users are able to connect through third-party broadband access providers.

Technology requirements

Dedicated Connection. A dedicated T1 or T3 connection to Verizon Business' global IP backbone is required.
Customer Premises Equipment. IP VPN Dedicated Services is based on either the Lucent Access Point router, or a Cisco encrypting router. In addition, an out-of-band modem and all required cables are provided with your service package.

Implementation path

Your Verizon Business sales representatives will work closely with you to evaluate your network needs to help determine the most effective managed VPN solution. We also consult with our engineers to ensure the IP VPN Dedicated Services solution is the best one for your organization.

If your application includes a dial component, or has any non-U.S. locations, we are required by the U.S. federal government to perform export screening to verify that all applicable countries allow the import and export of encrypting routers and encryption technology. Both these processes are usually completed within several days of submitting the required paperwork.

Protect your data with state-of-the-art security from Verizon Business

IP VPNs use industry-standard tunneling, encryption, and authentication to provide secure and private data services over a shared network infrastructure.

How it works

Tunnels allow private network sessions to run inside public network sessions (IPSec)
Encryption is used to “scramble” confidential information as it travels across the shared network (DES or 3DES)
Authentication determines if the gateway or user is allowed access
Authorization mandates what the user is permitted to do on the network

The technologies

Securing the data

IPSec protects/authenticates IP packets between IPSec devices
DES and 3DES invoke 56-bit keys to encrypt 64-bit blocks of data
Firewalls can help protect your network—and your PCs—from port-scanning, intrusion, and other malicious acts
PKI lets public network users exchange data more securely using digital certificates
Strong Authentication combines something the user has and something the user knows

Tunneling

Tunneling is a means of sending traffic to a destination by encapsulating data packets.

IP Security (IPSec) has become one of the most widely used means of securing data by many VPN component manufacturers:
- Protects/authenticates IP packets
- Provides for authentication, confidentiality, and integrity
- Enables split tunneling
Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) can be used two ways:
- As a means of destination management
- As a network-based tunnel tool by Internet service providers

Encryption

Encryption renders sensitive data useless if intercepted by unintended parties.

DES invokes keys to encrypt, or scramble, blocks of data
Both sender and receiver must use the same key when sending and receiving the message
Triple DES (3DES) achieves a higher level of security by encrypting the data three times over
