Aramiska, the UK broadband satellite ISP, has today introduced a high speed managed VPN (virtual private network) for satellite connected business customers:

Aramiska launches the first high speed managed VPN for satellite connected business customers

Aramiska, Europe's leading satellite broadband service provider today announces it is the first satellite broadband provider to develop and offer a VPN solution utilising the full available broadband bandwidth to businesses across Europe. The unique Aramiska VPN service is a fully managed solution and the latest development within Aramiska's managed service offering for corporate customers.

An industry first, the new Aramiska VPN service is a fast and secure solution and, eliminates performance issues usually associated with VPN over a satellite broadband connection. In addition, Aramiska's VPN offers businesses the highest levels of security through data encryption and uniquely this data remains entirely within Aramiska's 'private' network. Unlike traditional VPNs, no data is passed over the public Internet and is therefore not at risk to unauthorised interception.

The Aramiska VPN service offers businesses in remote locations, that have previously found difficulty in adopting an office-to-office connection, the opportunity to fully integrate their different networks. This cost effective solution is an extension of the Aramiska Managed Service concept, and requires no hardware investment. Full 24x7 network monitoring, automatic upgrades and 24x7 freephone access to Aramiska's award winning technical support is all included as standard. Aramiska's Managed Service model removes the burden of costly infrastructure, deployment and management and will allow customers to make substantial savings in their IT resources.

Noud Cornelissen, VP Marketing, Aramiska, said: "Aramiska has always pioneered and invested in the development of technologies which can add real value to businesses, and our new VPN service is a testament to this. The fact that we can offer this exceptionally secure and high speed VPN service to businesses of all sizes is extremely significant. Satellite technology has traditionally been seen as a niche technology for a select market, but our enhanced portfolio of products and services demonstrates that Aramiska's satellite technology is a real alternative and is viable for a wider business audience".

With over 3,000 business customers in Europe, Aramiska has established itself as one of the leading satellite broadband providers, offering business users high speed service packages of up to 2,048 Kbps downstream and 512 Kbps upstream data transmission. Using superior open standard satellite technology, DVB-RCS (Digital Video Broadcasting-Return Channel Satellite), Aramiska's two-way service not only provides business users with a fast, reliable and cost-effective Internet connection but also is the first to offer a unique fully managed and fast VPN service to multiple site organisations.
