Pacific Internet offers VPN, hosted firewall E-mail

Regional ISP Pacific Internet has begun offering hosted firewall and VPN services to its clients.

Rather than having to purchase, install and manage the necessary equipment on their own premises, customers are able to turn over the problem to Pacific Internet on a pay-as-you-go basis.

"Our customers receive enterprise-grade security but delivered in a way where they only pay for usage, with no need to worry about complexity," said president and CEO Phey Teck Moh.

Other service providers including Commander offer hosted firewalls and VPNs to their customers.

"Network firewalls deter unsolicited traffic from the public Internet from entering enterprises' private networks. Yet most companies are constrained by budget limitations, which means that they have to struggle to keep up with increasingly sophisticated virus attacks on their networks," said Steven Ng, senior vice president, regional business group and group product development at Pacific Internet.

"We have responded by offering PacNet Global Security-in-the-Cloud and Global Internet VPN Services; services that allow enterprises to not only protect the security of their expanding networks to the highest levels, but affordably and with the least hassles."

A significant feature of Pacific Internet's VPN service is that connections between eight countries in the Asia Pacific region are held within the company's own backbone network to improve security and minimise latency.{moscomment}
